This clearly reflects a (deliberate) ignorance of how the EU is structured. There is no “President of the European Union.”

Ursula von der Leyen’s position is President of the European Commission. One of four presidencies within the European Union. The others being President of the European Council, Presidency of the Council of the European Union and President of the European Parliament.

I would stick with Viktor Orban. The people see what's going on. These elitists are no different than Xi, Putin and the rest of the dictators.

The European citizenry need to really wake up to the manipulation and unprecedented authoritarianism, (if not totalitarian), being exercised by the EU Commission against their people’s will, in order to control all electoral and policy outcomes in their respective countries.

They DO have the power to end it, if they only will use it wisely.

As for Cruella Von der Devil and her cohorts in crime: “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

History will look back on the fall of the USSEU in much the same way it looks back at the fall of the USSR.

Let’s be honest: this is power without accountability. The European Union lectures the world about democracy while operating like a closed club where insiders pick winners and punish dissenters. Freeze funds here, threaten consequences there—it’s leverage dressed up as “rule of law.” Meanwhile, leaders like Viktor Orbán actually face voters and win. That’s the difference. One system answers to the people. The other answers to itself. And when bureaucrats start overriding elections instead of respecting them, you’re not defending democracy—you’re replacing it. Europe should be very careful where this road leads.

Isn’t the Islamic invasion the result of EU machinations? Did compliance result in flows of money?

“The Islamic invasion” doesn’t exist.

There's no such thing as "liberal norms." Thank you for your features.

Projection is what Socialists do.

I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE THIS PROPAGANDA THAT ORBAN IS A DICTATOR?

Whatever the TV or MSM tells them. Sad

Orban is one of the few actual leaders in the EU. That is why they hate him so!

Such a great "leader" that he made Hungary the poorest and most corrupt country in the EU.
