That's right putie. Orban is EU's bitch now.
I'm curious how they managed to persuade him. I hope it's not by releasing of blocked funds so he can keep lining his pockets.
News outlet are being extremely vague about Orban's motives, but it's clear that no funds have been unfrozen. By the looks of it, it seems Hungary received no grants at all and just changed its mind out of the goodness of her heart, which is weird.

This makes me wonder if anything went on behind those closed doors. We know that yesterday Orban met with Meloni, who according to euronews
All that's left to hope is that Meloni and other EU leaders succesfully managed to scare off Hungary and that no backroom deals went on.
There have been numerous reports about EU officials/MPs considering stripping Hungary of its voting rights preceding this. So most likely Orban as just beenade aware that there's a limit to which degree he can block stuff while still being allowed to play ball.
Possible. I'd love it if they actually went through with the article 7 threats, but until then using said threat to have Orban sit down is the next best thing.
