Hungary's Populist Orban to Lead EU Presidency with 'Make Europe Great Again' Slogan
Jul 1, 2024, 02:02 AM
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is set to take over the rotating presidency of the European Union on Monday. Orban, known for his frequent attacks against Brussels and warm relations with Russia, has left Hungary increasingly isolated within the EU. His presidency is marked by a controversial slogan, 'Make Europe Great Again,' echoing former U.S. President Donald Trump. This slogan has raised concerns among other EU leaders about Hungary's direction under Orban's leadership. Despite these concerns, Orban is determined to stamp his brand on Brussels during his six-month tenure. The presidency will see Hungary at the helm of the European Council, a role that rotates among member states every six months. Orban's populist and Eurosceptic stance raises questions on how effectively Hungary can address the many issues hanging in the balance, with some suggesting it may lack bite.
