The Hungarian leader, one of Europe\u2019s most prominent far-right politicians, has long been an outlier on the European stage. But, as he arrives in Brussels on Thursday for a summit of EU leaders, he will be even more lonely than usual. The conservative Law and Justice party lost a key election in Poland this month, leaving Budapest largely on its own in its fight with Brussels over respect for democratic norms.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Turkey has taken a step toward ratifying Sweden\u2019s Nato membership bid, putting a harsh spotlight on Hungary\u2019s reluctance to sign off. And a recent meeting between Orb\u00e1n and Vladimir Putin has added to growing discomfort among European officials who see Hungary\u2019s friendly ties to Moscow and Beijing as out of step with and even damaging to the western alliance. The Hungarian prime minister \u201ctries to keep up a role as the \u2018bridgehead\u2019 between the west and the east\u201d, said P\u00e9ter Krek\u00f3, the director of the Budapest-based Political Capital research institute. Orb\u00e1n wanted to maximise \u201cthe benefits of relationships in both directions \u2013 despite increasingly obvious signs that it is impossible in the current geopolitical reality\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>But, far from backtracking, the Hungarian leader has only upped this rhetoric in recent days, pointing his ire at European institutions. \u201cMoscow was a tragedy; Brussels is a bad contemporary parody,\u201d he said in a speech on Monday during a commemoration of Hungary\u2019s 1956 uprising against the Soviet Union. \u201cMoscow was beyond repair, but Brussels and the European Union can be repaired,\u201d he said, pointing to next year\u2019s European parliament elections.<\/p>\n<p>The rhetoric has not gone unnoticed, with senior European officials saying they believe Budapest\u2019s behaviour is becoming a bigger concern. \u201cThe recent meeting of Orb\u00e1n with Putin in Beijing and the way the Hungarian prime minister likened the EU to the Soviet Union raises questions over whether we can still trust this country as an ally and as a partner,\u201d said one senior European diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. The problems with Hungary \u201cwill likely become deeper and deeper and increasingly endanger common decisions on strategically important questions\u201d, the diplomat said. A second senior European diplomat said that \u201cHungary is more and more isolated, because delaying Swedish membership in Nato is negatively impacting security of all allies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/oct\/26\/orban-is-lonelier-than-ever-on-the-european-stage-but-hes-still-got-cards-to-play\">Read More&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/oct\/26\/orban-is-lonelier-than-ever-on-the-european-stage-but-hes-still-got-cards-to-play\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/119039\/\">Orb\u00e1n is lonelier than ever on the European stage \u2013 but he\u2019s still got cards to play<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[5778,696,11996,9838,11997,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-117954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-card","tag-europe","tag-lonely","tag-orban","tag-play","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117954\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
