The Hungarian Council presidency, led by Viktor Orbán's government, was loud, messy, and provocative, placing Orbán at the centre instead of focusing on the EU.
Instead of being an honest broker working in the background for the greater European good, the presidency projected an image of a disunited union with no substance achieved.
Months before Viktor Orbán assumed the Council presidency, the warnings from the European Parliament were dismissed, underestimating the risks of his leadership.
It took him just four days to fly to Moscow and give the war criminal Vladimir Putin a platform, reflecting a dangerous disregard for EU consensus.
