    If EU had a federal police, Orban would be arrested.
    I seriously hope the Hungarian votes Orban out in the upcoming election, and when that is done, that Orban will face criminal charges.

      The EU isn’t a federation, not as of 2026.

      I do kind of hope that someone lends the funds to cover it, though, and that Orbán loses next month and Hungary subsequently hands it back.

        From looking at how it takes away self determination in USA, I hope we never get federal police in EU.
        But the lack of ability to handle a rogue state like Hungary is a problem.

          We have federal police here in Australia. They don’t have to be bad. It can be useful when criminals travel across borders - all states have their own police force and jurisdiction ends at the border. Mostly our criminals are dealt with by state police but sometimes the AFP get involved where necessary.
