    So how does he justify not taking Hungary out of the EU? That is, how does he explain to his population that Brussels is a key adversary but remains part of his administration? Just for that cold hard cash?

      I haven’t heard this speech yet, but his usual rhetoric is that we want to be in the EU, but it’s making the wrong decisions. Looking back at the past 14 years, he is practicing doublespeak in a wilder and wilder manner every year. I’m baffled that the country is still in the EU, or has been in the past decade.

    All while cashing in all of these sweet sweet EU checks. The hypocrisy has no limits with this moron.

      It’s been working wonders for his country so far - it pays off to be the odd one out. He exploits the flaws in the flawed system

    It is essential for EU to reform to remove any one government having a veto (aka decision by “consensus”). That does not have to mean simple majority rule, nor exclude opt-outs by topic. Transactional dealers just play their vetos for unrelated gains.
    Likewise if Europe now constructs common defence structures, don’t repeat similar mistakes, as within Nato.

    Maybe the EU can strike a deal with Musk and Trump. I don’t mind the EU providing funding for an American Mars mission, so long as it includes Orbán going there.

      Got me in the first half… As a Hungarian, I’d pay double tax if it went towards a one-way rocket to Mars with Orbán, Trump and Musk onboard.
