“ Orbán left the room when the decision on enlargement was taken… This allowed for an unanimous decision from the European Council, which … was completely legal under EU law.”
This sounds almost cartoonish. Was it a coincidence or a case of “quick, while he’s gone!”
Great result anyway.
Edit: Now I’m thinking that it suited him not to object but that he couldn’t be seen to allow it, so he did it on purpose The rant online could have been the usual far-right theatrics.
EU unblocked 10 billion euro in funds for Hungary.
It’s such bullshit how they portray this as if it wasn’t quid pro quo.
Good for Orban for blackmailing the shit out of them. Fucking cowards can’t even admit to the truth with this “walked out of the room” bullshit.

I never made the connection, but now that you say it, it seems obvious.
I wish US filibusters worked like this, would stop a lot of senators from fucking around with every little thing
They should have voted that all leaders must wear rainbow tie dye frocks for the rest of the summit and all summits to come.
