Hungary’s unofficial government newspaper Magyar Nemzet (Hungarian Nation) often floats issues that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his government would like to gauge public opinion on without addressing those issues themselves. Last weekend, it happened again. On Sunday (August 15), the paper opened debate on an issue that had previously been deemed off-limits even in Hungarian government circles: Hungary’s exit from the EU.
“It is time to talk about Huxit” was the title of the Magyar Nemzet opinion piece. The news went off like a bomb in Hungary — with most larger media outlets reporting, opposition politicians up in arms and pundits expressing concern.

I hope they do it. Hungary is much better than the EU.
Probably the only way to save his country and western civilization.
The EU was created to replace the individual European countries with a type of federal government that would oversee the de-Christianization of Europe. It has worked very well so far. Hungary doesn’t fit into that mold, and should get out.
Not a federal government; a central government.
