☆ Giorgia Meloni Is Leading the Far-Right Takeover of Europe - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-04-22 | by ( David Broder | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Yet for all the apocalyptic anger, this wasn’t a call to quit the European Union. In this project, they have a model: Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy. Ms. Meloni is already an inspiration to the European far right. For the European far right, poised for an advance, Ms. Meloni is leading the way. Since coming to power in October 2022, Ms. Meloni has impressed many with her pragmatic approach and abandonment of her previous criticism of the European Union.

☆ Ego, Putin or Jets? Reasons for Orban’s Stance on Sweden Perplex Many.
  + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Andrew Higgins | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
It took 19 months of broken promises and belligerent rhetoric for Hungary to finally ratify Sweden’s entry into NATO. Why all the foot-dragging, many observers wondered, when Hungary was going to approve the Nordic country’s membership of the military alliance anyway? That question has perplexed even members of Hungary’s governing party, Fidesz, according to Peter Ungar, an opposition legislator. He said he had been approached by one Fidesz lawmaker, in the run-up to Monday’s vote in Parliament to accept NATO’s expansion, and asked: “‘What the hell is going on with Sweden?’”That a member of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s governing party would seek an explanation from a rival politician is a measure of how puzzled even allies of the Hungarian leader, never mind his opponents, became over their country delaying NATO’s expansion.

☆ Hungarian bookstore to fight fine for sale of LGBT-themed 'Heartstopper'
  + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( Reuters Caolán Magee | Caolán Magee | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Hungary’s second-largest bookstore, Lira, said on Friday it plans to take legal action after it received a hefty government fine for the sale of an LGBT-themed British webcomic and graphic novel aimed at teenagers without closed wrapping. The popular “Heartstopper” series, in which two gay teens fall in love, has also been adapted by Netflix as a romantic comedy-drama. Krisztian Nyary, Lira’s creative director and a well-known author himself, told Reuters the fine was disproportionate, the law vaguely worded and that the bookstore would respond legally. Books that feature LGBTQ+ characters are seen wrapped in plastic foil in a bookstore in Budapest, Hungary, on July 11. This is not the first time a Hungarian government office has fined a bookstore for a violation of the law.

A few weeks ago, one of France’s most famous public intellectuals, Bernard-Henri Lévy, gave an interview to The Times on his new documentary, “Slava Ukraini,” and he said something that helped me understand why, as I approach my 70th birthday, I still want to be a journalist. Asked why, at age 74, he dodged rockets in Ukraine to bring home the savagery of the Russian invasion, Lévy said, “In Ukraine, I had the feeling for the first time that the world I knew, the world in which I grew up, the world that I want to leave to my children and grandchildren, might collapse.”I have that exact same fear. Which is why the focus of my columns these days has been very tight. There are three things that absolutely cannot be allowed to happen: Israel cannot be allowed to turn into an autocracy like Viktor Orban’s Hungary; Ukraine cannot be allowed to fall to Vladimir Putin; and Donald Trump cannot be allowed to occupy the White House ever again. If all three were to happen, the world that I want to leave my children and grandchildren could completely collapse.
☆ Hungary Blocks EU Plan to Raise Over $18 Billion in Funding for Ukraine
  + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( Laurence Norman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The government of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been embroiled in a spat with Brussels over funding. European Union finance ministers failed to agree Tuesday on providing more than $18 billion of vital economic assistance for Ukraine next year, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government stymying for now efforts to secure the loan through common EU debt issuance. The promised assistance of 18 billion euros, equivalent to $18.9 billion, is envisioned as a critical part of the West’s contribution to help Kyiv pay for basic services next year. It comes after the EU came under U.S. and Ukrainian pressure to increase its economic assistance for Ukraine and ensure the consistency of its help.
