Hungary's official EU presidency slogan, 'Make Europe Great Again,' echoes Trumpian rhetoric and raises concerns in Brussels over the ultranationalist and populist leadership of Viktor Orban.
Budapest, led by Orban, has a history of clashing with EU on democratic backsliding, migration, and military support for Ukraine, facing billions in withheld EU funds and recent asylum law fines.
European Parliament has questioned Hungary's fitness for the EU presidency role, citing concerns over non-compliance with EU law, despite objections that did not result in any significant action.
Despite facing scrutiny, Hungary is set to chair EU ministerial meetings and summits from July, sparking uncertainties about its ability to act as an 'honest broker' and advance the bloc's agenda.
