As her first step, Ágnes Forsthoffer, the new Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly, ordered that after 12 years, the flag of the European Union be returned to the building of the Hungarian Parliament.
@JackMexa4 Of course he did! Also changed the election laws. Also changed the rules of "votes from Hungarians living abroad", bascially separating Fidesz-leaning foreigners and Opposition-leaning Hungarian citiens living abroad, the first were orgenised by their own people (non-certified boxes, non-stamped votes etv), latter was made extremely hard and expensive. And similar moves....
@gedeonm The flag was removed by Orban in 2010 and have not been on display. You're probably aware how Orban managed "his" EU membership. It is very symbolic, especially since EU approval rate is pretty high in Hungary.

•I wonder if the ousted Orban did anything similar to gerrymandering in Hungary, or if that is just a very USan way of cheating democracy.
