Hungary begins a six-month presidency of the European Council amid serious disagreements with the EU leadership on a range of issues, including Russia’s war against Ukraine and migration.
Hungary will take over the rotating EU presidency from Belgium on 1 July and hand it over to Poland at the end of December, Report reported, citing foreign media.
The uneasy relations between Budapest and Brussels are even reflected in the choice of the presidency’s motto: “Let’s make Europe great again!”. This slogan is similar to the election slogan of former US President Donald Trump, which is not supported by the current EU leadership but is openly supported by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The official logo of the Presidency is a Rubik’s cube with the red-white-green Hungarian flag on one side and the EU emblem with stars arranged in a circle on the other. The invention of the Hungarian engineer Ernő Rubik turns 50 this year.
According to the Presidency’s website, the puzzle requires “strategic vision, patience, discipline and precision – qualities essential for the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the EU”.
