The European Union looks set to launch sanctions against Hungary after Viktor Orbán achieved a landslide victory in the country’s recent general election.
It appears that the European Union is not happy with the result of Hungary’s recent general election, with many in Brussels seemingly hoping the country’s united opposition would manage to unseat long-running conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
However, after Orbán’s recent landslide victory, the EU looks set to take a different approach to tackling the populist administration.
According to a report by Euronews, the European Commission has triggered the so-called “conditionality mechanism” over what are alleged to be Hungarian breaches of EU law.
The move — which had only recently been ruled legal by a European court — opens up the eastern-European country to economic sanctions, allowing the EU to freeze funding sent to the eastern European country, which reportedly amounts currently to around five billion euros per anum.
While the exact reasons for the triggering of the mechanism were not given, the commission has previously repeatedly targeted Hungary over alleged “corruption” regarding its judiciary, with many in Europe also taking issue with the Conservative cultural dominance in its national media.

Both Hungary and Poland were previously seen as prime targets for the rules by the EU before the Ukraine crisis kicked off again in late February, with the bloc accusing both countries of democratic shortcomings not in keeping with European values.

We are at a very dangerous crossroads...
They voted for conservatives??! How dare they?
No. It is all Russia’s fault and the Hungarian voters are Russian collaborators.
All the left talks about “democracy,” but when it happens, and they don’t like the results, they want to undo the will of the people.
Hungary gives WEF Klaus the finger.
Is he happy that he doesn’t own Hungary?
What a bunch of bullies. Hungary should quit the fascist organization if they want to control how people vote locally.
Not yet, anyway! After Putin gives them relief from the western commies sanctions they will be!
Why England left, demonstrated right here.
I guess Brussels takes offense at being called out. I don’t know why he didn’t also mention the leftist thugs in DC during his remarks.
“while speaking to supporters on Sunday, Orban singled out Zelenskyy as part of the “overwhelming force” that he said his party had struggled against in the election — “the left at home, the international left, the Brussels bureaucrats, the Soros empire with all its money, the international mainstream media, and in the end, even the Ukrainian president.”
The Finnish politician disliking the result of a democratic election and wanting to punish an “authoritarian regime” is perfect irony.
They just voted against democracy. The EU just told me so.
It would appear that the globalists don’t support democracy after all.
I sometimes wonder if they believe their own rhetoric. I suspect the ones lower in the food chain do.
bttt
Democracy for me, but not for thee.
Normally, especially now, I could see nothing that could drive Poland back to rapprochement with Russia, Hungary maybe. But the EU is gonna give it the old college try. They don’t seem to get that nations that spent 45 years kowtowing to one master didn’t throw off that slave collar just to replace it with a prettier one made in Brussels
Good Lord the EU is evil.
The EU tried to pick up installing a European Leftists regime where Hitler failed.
Europe lacks warriors. The Euro warrior genes were destroyed last century. To think of fighting is repugnant to non warriors
The current performance of the Russian army is proof. Russian warriors were eradicated as well.
If you don't believe in the NWO, globalist, open-borders deep-state, the "great re-set" you should start to.
They are going to bomb, sanction, or color-revolution all of their opponents.
