Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban defied Brussels on Friday by promising Russia's President Vladimir Putin he would keep buying Russian oil, despite the EU's push to isolate Moscow over its invasion…
“We have not given up cooperation [with Russia] in any area, regardless of any external pressure,” Orban told Putin.
The EU has frozen funds for Hungary. The economy has some serious problems, which makes people angry. So angry in fact, that according to current polls Orban is going to loose the next election. The next election is in April, so not too far away.
See, you have democracy, but…gosh darn it, there are some bad hombres we just can’t do anything about until…ooooopsie doopsie they’ve eroded away all the rights and norms until they, one day, totally inexplicably, are in power.
Why not? Not like he is risking anything. Orban could be dealt with in 2 days if the EU wanted that.
