Europe s misconceived cohesion | Jordan Times

Europe’s misconceived cohesion By Bálint Magyar and Bálint Madlovics BUDAPEST Some details of the midnight budget deal cooked up between German Chancellor Angela Merkel, on behalf of the European Union, and the Hungarian and Polish governments remain hidden. Nonetheless, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is celebrating a victory, whereas opposition parties cheer the EU’s newfound willingness to make its funding conditional on member countries’ respect for the rule of law.
