Hungarian prime-minister makes unexpected move regarding Georgiaʼs recent elections. His stance as current EU presidency holder shows growing differences within European Union

In a recent turn-of-events Viktor Orban shows his different view on Georgiaʼs election results which doesnt match other EU members position. The hungarian prime-minister (whos been leading his country since early 2010s) stands alone against common EU approach

As current holder of six-month EU presidency rotation Orban uses his temporary position to highlight internal disagreements: his pro-russian stance and close friendship with Vladimir Putin makes him unique among european leaders. The rotating presidency — which gives Hungary significant influence over EU agenda — became a tool to demonstrate unions internal splits

The situation shows how one member-state can affect EUʼs unified voice: Orbans position on Georgia creates a non-standard diplomatic situation where presidency holder goes against other 26 members views. His actions make visible how complex decision-making process works in todays European Union
