Hungary's official slogan for its upcoming term as the rotating presidency of the EU, 'Make Europe Great Again,' was announced last week, drawing attention in Brussels. The country's extreme nationalist and populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a close ally of former U.S. President Trump, has been known for his outspoken Euro-skepticism and clashes with EU officials and member states. With concerns over Hungary's democratic backsliding and past disagreements, the European Parliament questions Budapest's ability to fulfill its duties. Despite the controversial slogan and potential influence, the real impact of Hungary's presidency on EU legislation is limited, as the majority of legislative proposals originate from the European Commission and require approval from member states and the European Parliament.
