Hungary will block a planned 90-billion-euro (US$106-billion) European Union loan to Ukraine until the flow of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline resumes, Hungary’s foreign minister said.
The EU still doesn’t convince me that we are not on the same trajectory
It’s OK to be vigilant, but it shouldn’t stop us from doing something that is necessary. And as I see it, it is necessary to put Hungary and Slovakia on pause.
Because they are actively working against clear EU interests, and they are working against democracy. And that is decidedly against the ideals of EU, they are also working against human rights which is also contrary to the regulation of EU.
If this was the USA, the Hungarian and Slovakian governments could probably be charged with treason!
That member countries work withing EU regulation which include human rights is a requirement! Not an option!
This is way way more than just political disagreement, Slovakia and Hungary are working openly for the enemy.
None of us want EU to become a totalitarian shithole, but failing to observe and uphold the rules, is EXACTLY what caused it for USA.
So as I see it, you are viewing this whole scenario upside down. Failing to act against totalitarianism rising in EU like in Hungary, is what will increase the risk of EU becoming more totalitarian. We need to act against it, and your slippery slope argument, that upholding Hungary to what they agreed to when becoming members, has no basis in the political facts.
However warning against totalitarianism is a VERY valid warning. You just seem to confuse how to stop it, with making it worse.
