Orban

Orban emphasized on the social network "X" that it is time for everyone to face the truth that the Brussels agreement has failed in this matter.

Day 579 of the invasion of Ukraine. Summary of key events in the last 24 hours:

Hungary and Poland blocked the adoption of the European Council's conclusions on migration and left the matter to be resolved for a second attempt today.

This happened an hour after midnight on the first day of the EU summit in Brussels.

Evidently, Varga could not convince the EU Commission that Hungary has made enough progress and her resignation could be a sign that PM Vikor Orban has lost confidence in her. However, other factors might be in the background. The Justice Ministry was rocked by a major corruption and money-laundering scandal, as Varga's state secretary was selling lucrative bailiff positions for money.

He answered questions from journalists after the meeting of the governments of Serbia and Hungary in Pali.

MEPs have called on the Council of the EU to postpone Hungary's presidency of the Community, scheduled for the second half of 2024.

But most people in Hungary wondered why exactly Budahazy was chosen to be the lucky recipient.

Orban reiterated his government's narrative that Hungary was in chaos before he took over in 2010. He paid a backhanded tribute to George Soros, saying that if the Hungarian-born US billionaire "had not launched his migration program, we would never have made it into the headlines".

Both leaders sent pointed signals. Orban gave Francis a copy of a 1243 letter from Hungary's King Bela IV, asking Pope Innocent IV for help repelling Mongol invaders - a possible dig at the pope's welcoming attitude to migrants.

With elections looming, YouTube has become the main platform through which jailed former Golden Dawn official Ilias Kasidiaris is conducting his campaign, despite a recent amendment passed by Parliament which aims to ban the participation of his the National Party-The Greeks.
