HungaryOrban and friends. WallEx ( @WallEx@feddit.de ) English25•7 months agoYeah, that’s what we need, more Nazis with money and power.
Pringles ( @Pringles@lemm.ee ) English11•7 months agoWhen you throw the word nazi around in an unfounded manner like this, it loses its meaning completely and whatever you tried saying loses all credibility. I’m not a fan of Orban, he is a corrupt authoritarian, but most definitely not a nazi.
PhlubbaDubba ( @PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee ) English18•7 months agoBro makes every election about opposing Soros and the Great Replacement, he’s a fucking Nazi.
WallEx ( @WallEx@feddit.de ) English7•7 months agoIf he works with Nazis and uses their rhetoric and also acts against foreigners, why do you think he is not a nazi?
mayooooo ( @MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org ) English3•7 months agoBut that’s the most important thing, right? Using the exact right definition for you has more weight when he’s like 7/10 on any checklist and you can literally see him getting hard on nazi shit. Oh we can’t possibly misname a cunt, that’s not fair to… cunts? What the fuck do you want?

Dieguito 🦝 ( @DieguiTux8623@feddit.it ) English5•7 months agoThis unveils the real nature of our “democratic” institutions: whoever enforces control over people and guarantees stability (no matter at what cost) takes it all. I see no difference between this and other autocracies the media despise so much these days. We’re all in the same boat. Sinking boat.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said on Wednesday, however, that recent judicial reforms are in “full compliance … with the requirements we had agreed on,” adding: “We have received sufficient guarantees to say that independence of the judiciary will be strengthened in Hungary.”
Additional EU funds totaling almost €12 billion and further billions in COVID-19 recovery aid remain blocked because breaches “in the areas of public procurement, prosecutorial action, conflict of interest, the fight against corruption and public interest trusts” were not addressed, according to a Commission press release.
Whether the release of at least some of the locked funds will lead the Hungarian prime minister to reconsider his threat to veto any decisions on Ukraine, remains to be seen.
Starting accession talks does not guarantee membership, but it is considered a highly symbolic step that is generally followed by detailed and potentially open-ended negotiations that can last decades.
Arriving in Brussels for the summit, new Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk appeared to attempt to soothe relations by calling Orban a “very pragmatic politician” and said he would seek to find a way to win him over.
In an apparent rebuke to Hungary, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called earlier for more decision-making by a qualified majority in the EU to prevent single nations from having a veto on issues such as accession.
