Hungary has unveiled 'Make Europe Great Again' (MEGA) as the official slogan for its presidency of the Council of the European Union, set to begin on July 1, 2024, and last for the second half of the year. The slogan, reminiscent of former U.S. President Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again,' has sparked discussions and reactions across Europe. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, known for his right-wing policies, appears to be signaling a continued rightward shift in European politics. The announcement was made during a press conference where Hungary also presented its comprehensive agenda and logistical details for the upcoming six-month presidency. The slogan has been perceived by some as a provocative move, potentially trolling the European Union.
