Most political groups in the European Parliament want a probe into the European Commission's decision to unfreeze EU funds for Hungary, followed by a lawsuit in the EU's top court and a possible motion of censure, while also urging the Council to strip Hungary's voting rights over its rule of law deficiencies.
Starting with the Second Orbán Government in 2010, during his uninterrupted stay in power, Orbán has curtailed press freedom, weakened judicial independence, and undermined multiparty democracy, amounting to democratic backsliding during Orbán’s tenure. Orbán’s harsh criticism of the policies favored by the European Union while accepting their money and funneling it to his allies and family have also led to accusations that his government is a kleptocracy. His government has also been characterized as an autocracy.
“We [Hungarians] are not a mixed race and we do not want to become a mixed race.”
Google it yourself for other sources then, not hard to find info on the many anti democratic actions Hungary’s leader has taken or his rollbacks on human rights over the past decade. I don’t think even his supporters contest that, they just contest if it’s wrong to do or not.
What has Hungary done against rule of law?

🤣 Hungarians are not a mixed race. A true student of history.
Isn’t the whole point of Balkanization to avoid mixed races?
A lot. Hard to know where to start.
Here’s somewhere to begin at least:

Haha, I had no idea, I didn’t use this name in the other place. Good name though imo.
References Euronews and the Atlantic. No bias here.

If the first sources you go to include the fucking Atlantic for a European issue…
Do you disagree with something in particular or are you just letting us know that you had a bad day?
