Former Estonian President on Why Hungary Should Leave the EU – Toomas Hendrik Ilves

Aug 11, 2024 | Is Hungary stretching the EU’s patience to its limit?

For the EU, Hungary is a diplomatic headache – and one that may be about to get worse. Do they have a place in the European Union? The Spectator’s editorial manager Lukas Degutis is joined by former Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves to explain how Hungary has become a ’nuisance country’ and how concerned the EU should be with Hungary’s relationship to Russia.
