TA3 | Questions about the Hungarian Presidency

Make Europe Great Again is the motto of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Hungary has set seven priorities, including fighting illegal migration and strengthening European defense. But the next six months raise many questions about the direction the Union will take under Budapest's leadership and what it will mean for Ukraine. Žiga Faktor, deputy director and head of the Brussels office of EUROPEUM Institute, explains the situation for Slovak TV TA3.

The slogan could be read as a call for a return to more traditional conservative values. It can certainly be read as a call to strengthen the role of nation states at European level and to weaken the role of European institutions. And we can also read it as a strong link to the United States, especially if Donald Trump wins the election.
