The European Union is considering the possibility of expelling Hungary from the Schengen Zone due to its recent decision to ease visa restrictions for Russian and Belarusian citizens.
A growing backlash has emerged against Hungary’s move to simplify visa requirements, which includes a new national card program for extended stays and work permits. This policy change, which followed a visit to Moscow by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has drawn sharp criticism from EU lawmakers.
The lawmakers have also suggested that if Hungary does not amend its policy, the European Commission and EU representatives should consider new measures to protect European citizens. This could include increased border controls at Hungary’s borders and the possibility for other EU states to not recognize Hungarian visas.
The letter, which has collected nearly 70 signatures, including from former Belgian and Irish prime ministers, highlights the escalating tensions within the EU over Hungary’s foreign policy decisions.

I sometimes even link directly to government agencies’ sites from multiple countries depending on the topic and content, but I never want to highlight what the Ukrainian or any other government want to push. Again, each line in the linked article can be checked independently from multiple sources across the web.
Sometimes propaganda is true 🤷♂️ In fact, as the saying goes, good propaganda has to be mostly true.
Yeah, and some truth makes sense while some is really weird.
