    The Lisbon Treaty doesn’t outline an official process for removing a member state from the EU, but there are various ways to stop European funds from flowing into Hungary. Hit them where it hurts the most and keep this corrupt regime out of Europe.

      That’s already happening as Western taxpayers understandably don’t want to subsidize Orbán’s corruption. But it seems to have the opposite effect of pulling Hungary back to the EU’s side.

        That’s up to the Hungarians. The EU can’t really force any member state to do anything and it definitely won’t “save them from themselves”.

      That’s already happening in the billions (a lot of it from the Corona help payments) but they are still here. Hungary continues to work against EU policies and interests and isn’t even a proper democracy anymore, we need a way to kick them out and keep it that way at least till the facist shit Orban is no more!
