Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has made a Trumpian vow to “Make Europe Great Again” during his country’s six-month presidency of the European Union.
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrives at an event commemorating the 75th anniversary of NATO at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium at the NATO summit in Washington, Tuesday, July 9, 2024. to “Make Europe Great Again” during his country's six-month presidency of the European Union.
He continued: “Orbán could have used the opportunity of the rotating presidency to get a bit closer to the European mainstream and organize high-level meetings in Budapest that could bring him some recognition in a period where he desperately needs it. Instead, he just got further from the mainstream.”, a relationship that was rendered more alarming when Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
On Wednesday, János Bóka, Hungary’s EU affairs minister, downplayed reports that some countries would boycott meetings in Budapest in protest of Orbán's visit with Putin, saying he was unaware of “any official initiative” to undermine Hungary's role in the presidency. “Whatever adventurism that is being undertaken without Ukraine’s consent or support," Sullivan told reporters, “is not something that’s consistent with our policy.”
