In spite of this claim, Orban has won four straight elections. That's not much of an EU power is it?

Yeah likely Orban is the reason they threw away all pretexts of democracy. Hungary escaped their power.

That's not true. If only because the EU cannot cancel elections.

I suppose you're referring to Georgescu?

They have enough indirect power to achieve the results they want and use that power rigorously.

If it's Georgescu you're referring to (because you don't seem to want to say so): the annulment was upheld by the ECHR.

We cannot tolerate democracy threatening extremism any longer, nor Russian interference. If anything, the EU is too soft. Orban, and to a lesser degree Fico, are a disgrace, also to their own population.
