Hungary's populist government announced Tuesday that its upcoming presidency of the European Union will be held under the motto "Make Europe Great Again," but played down any parallels with Donald Trump's MAGA movement in the United States.
"This is a reference to an active presidency," Hungary's EU Affairs Minister János Bóka said as he outlined Budapest's program and ambitions for its six months at the helm of the world's biggest trading bloc, starting July 1.
"It actually shows manifest the expectation that together we should be stronger than individually, but that we should be allowed to remain who we are when we come together," he told reporters.

“He’s going to throw out every last muslim?”
That would be a huge step in the right direction.
Godspeed.
Orban does have a positive attitude, he deserves success.
Go Orban!

Asked about the similarities to the former president’s Make America Great Again slogan, Bóka insisted it was focused on Europe, saying: “I don’t know if Donald Trump ever wanted to make Europe great again.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who leads a staunchly nationalist government, is an ally of Trump and is considered to be closest to Russian President Vladimir Putin among the EU’s 27 leaders. He has tried to portray himself as a peacemaker on the war in Ukraine.
In February, Orbán said: “We can’t get involved in another country’s elections, but we would really like President Donald Trump to return to the presidency and make peace here in the eastern half of Europe.”
It was a reference to the U.S. election in November.
Even then, Orbán was borrowing from Trump’s popular slogan to describe his plans for Hungary’s EU presidency.
“Make Europe great again!” he said. “MAGA there, MEGA here.”

[Resurrecting the Roman Empire?....................]
I gotta admit, that DID cross my mind.
But it seems like the E.U. was already working on it.
MEGA MAGA
Sounds like a Japanese monster movie.
I like it!
I believe both Trump and Orban are pushing in the right direction.
Agree.
