EU Faces Perfect Political Storm

Hungary holds the EU Council Presidency until the end of the year

Published: November 14, 2024, 3:07 pm

    However, the EU is doing everything it can to boycott Hungary and its head of government, Viktor Orbán, because he is pursuing a different course than the Brussels Eurocrats – for example on Ukraine policy, immigration and LGBT issues. Orbán is not bothered by this. He has now demonstratively visited Georgia, where the EU-critical ruling party “Georgian Dream” secured a majority of around 53 percent in parliament in the most recent parliamentary election.

    The pro-Western opposition and the EU, maintain against all odds that this election result could only have been achieved through massive fraud. The leader from Budapest does not see it that way and his assessment is buttressed by his role as the acting President of the EU Council. He is quoted in the media as saying: “Nobody dared to say that this election or its result was not democratic – apart from critical opinions that were expressed.”

    Hungarian observers had classified the vote as “positive, free and democratic in every respect,” said Orbán. Election winner Kobachidze therefore does not have to worry about criticism from Brussels because it always follows the same pattern anyway: “If the liberals win, it is democratic. If the conservatives win, it is not democratic,” Orbán explained.

    For the Eurocrats, Orbán’s trip to Georgia represents another major provocation. His trip to Tbilisi “to express his support for the Georgian government,” said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, was not in any official capacity, apparently.

    “Whatever Mr. Orbán says during his visit, he does not represent the European Union,” Borrell insisted.

    Adding insult to injury

    The overwhelming election victory of Donald Trump and his MAGA movement could be the death knell for an EU that, against all reason and against the real interests of its people, has plunged into the Ukrainian disaster as a willing Anglo-American vassal.

    And with Trump’s triumph, the EU has become even more of a political outhouse. In France, an unelected emergency government with the badly damaged President Macron is hanging on by a thread; in Germany, the broken traffic light coalition offers more of the same; in Spain, a political class finds itself wading in the mud flood; in Poland, disillusionment with corrupt, neighboring Bandera nationalists is growing; in Italy, right-wing Meloni acolytes are scurrying to align themselves with the new US victor.

    In Sweden and Finland (NATO enthusiasts until recently) the northerners will probably realize, at the latest after the end of the Ukraine war, that their hysterical fear of the Russians was a bad take. The Baltic lapdogs, who felt so emboldened by the NATO pack, will be then called to heel.

    Little Britain, which has left the EU and is no longer great, has still been missing in action. In record time, the election winners of the Labour Party have descended into the basement of popularity. Those growling threats at the Russian bear not long ago are now howling pitifully.

    Meanwhile, the EU is presided over by the unelected Ursula von der Leyen who still believes in admonishing the elected with unrestrained contempt. Even though she has repeatedly demonstrated her incompetence in Germany, she continues to forge ahead with her master plan to see Moscow ruined and Putin swept away. To boot, Von der Leyen pretends that straining budgets are but a trivial matter.

    It seems nothing will stop her and her cronies in their drive to sideline the only EU statesman of stature and genuine democratic legitimacy, Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

    If the EU wants to survive, its Commission President should obviously be the first to go. And even if she does jump, the centrifugal forces in the EU will probably become too powerful to keep the whole thing together. Individual states will then try to save themselves by seeking profitable relations with the US, Russia, China or India while ignoring the Brussels dictatorship.

    The inflation hoax

    Yes, prices are rising, but not for the reasons the Federal Reserve says. When I say inflation is a hoax, I mean the purported cause is a hoax. The Fed is fighting a consumer inflation, a “demand-pull” inflation. But what we are experiencing is a supply-side inflation caused by the Covid lockdowns and economic sanctions that closed businesses, disrupted supply chains, and broke business relationships while reducing energy supplies to the UK and European countries, thus forcing up costs in a globalized economy.
