It blows my mind that the EU even considers anything Orban says. He is on Russia’s side in a war where the EU is supporting Ukraine. And has led Hungary to a level of authoritarianism that no longer coincides with the EU rules of acceptance. It isn’t shocking that this nazi would bring back a “law” so he has more control over his citizens. What is sad is that so many other EU countries think it is a good thing. It is an obvious and egregious attack on privacy, something the EU has defended in the past. It is a shame that world-wide the pendulum is swinging the wrong way.
This was never Orban's or Hungary's idea, it is something the previous presidency could not implement due to the lack of time and it's now Hungary's role to talk about it because the presidency is currently held by Hungary. This doesn't change the fact that there are many EU members that are in support of the idea if implemented well. Anyhow, it's not just for controlling citizents but legally keeping political opponents at check, which is even worse.
And this is something we see, with eu elections ads just a year ago urging us to consider how fragile the peace and democracy we have actually is.
