European Trump becomes the rotating president of the European Union
Hungary’s presidency of the Council of the European Union is accompanied by the slogan “Make Europe Great Again”. Viktor Orbán told X that this is the official slogan of the six-month presidency of the Hungarian Council, which begins on July 1. In announcing this slogan, Hungary referred to the election slogan of “Donald Trump”, the former president of the United States, who said “Let’s make America great again”. He is considered one of Trump’s supporters. In early March, he met with the Republican presidential candidate at his private estate in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. He praised Trump as the “president of peace”, and in turn praised Hungary as the “best leader” ever. Orban then published a photo of himself and Trump and wrote: Mr. President! Make America Great Again.
Orban has ruled Hungary since 2010. “Joe Biden”, the president of the United States, strongly criticized the meeting and accused Orban of trying for a “dictatorship”. Bannon, Trump’s former top adviser, has described this Hungarian man as “Trump before Trump.” Orban is also considered the closest ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the European Union despite Russia’s war against Ukraine. will be Recently, Hungary blocked billions in military aid to Ukraine at the European Union level.
Hungary will assume the rotating presidency of the European Union for six months in July. After that, the government in Budapest will play an important mediating role in the disputes between the EU countries, and the Hungarian ministers will preside over the EU ministerial meetings. Belgium currently still performs this task. Along with this slogan, the government in Budapest also presented the logo of its rotating presidency, which reminds of the famous Rubik’s cube.
Hungary will hold the rotating presidency of the European Union in the second half of this year. It assumes that its relations with Brussels have become very dark.
Expert ministers of the member states are present in the Council of the European Union. This council is responsible for legislation. Every six months, a member country of this union assumes the responsibility of chairing this council and presides and prepares meetings. Sonia Priebus, who researches Hungary’s political system at the European University in Frankfurt-Oder, says: “This means that the presidency of this council cannot decide on issues, but it can delay or prioritize them.
Adopting positions against the European Union is part of the political strategy of Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of this country. According to Brussels, his government is systematically destroying democracy in Hungary. The European Commission has blocked billions of funds for this country and has taken action against this country for violating the fundamental values of the European Union. Orban, who is close to Russia, has repeatedly blocked EU projects – especially support for Ukraine.
Hungary is one of the EU member states with which Brussels has many challenges. This country usually emphasizes the advancement of independent policies in domestic and international affairs, and it is also not in harmony with the European Union in its stance on the war in Ukraine and tries to advance its own policies.
