BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — The real threat facing Hungary is not Russia but the European Union, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a speech to supporters on Saturday, as his nationalist party ramps up an anti-EU campaign ahead of national elections.

    I know the EU is responsible for everything and what not. But let’s agree that your imagination is on you. The door is wide open, Hungary just needs to say it wants out and it’s out. It wouldn’t be the first.

      Of course Hungary can get out. That is not the problem. The problem is that they are landlocked and they wouldn’t get any advantage from leaving.

      How is it phantasy that Hungary wouldn’t get embargoed Russian products, even if they left? How could they get them?

        So Hungary has advantages in being in!? That’s not what the PM is saying!!!

        Don’t play the victim pal. Make it make sense.

          That’s a different discussion. I came for the wordplay on doors.

          The PM is saying that the EU is a threat. If you want my input on that tell me where you stand and what doesn’t make sense to you.
