"Hello, dictator"

Orbán, the EU and the rule of law

It's a play for power and billions.
Since summer 2020, the majority of EU member states have been fighting to attach conditions to the allocation of EU funds.
Only those who abide by democratic rules should receive funds in future.
A rule of law mechanism should guarantee this.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is vehemently opposed to this.
For good reason?

He has long been the target of critics.
In "Hello, Dictator", Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn describes Hungary as a "shackled democracy".
The European community of values struggles to find its stance.
For months.
With his blackmailing veto, Orbán plunged the EU into a deep crisis, in which Chancellor Merkel finally mediated.
Is it an appeasement with the autocrat?
In his analytical road movie, director Michael Wech sets off in search of clues throughout Europe.
Turned into a disaster.
39,000 submariners fought on 863 boats - more than 27,000 never returned.
