Hungary Vows to Block EU Sanctions Against Tucker Carlson over Putin Interview
Breitbart ^ | 8 February 2024 | KURT ZINDULKA

Hungary has vowed to block censorious attempts from globalist Eurocrats such as Guy Verhofstadt to impose sanctions on Tucker Carlson for interviewing Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Amid the left-wing establishment furore over Carlson’s decision to interview the Russian head of state, former Belgian prime minister and current member of the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt called for an EU travel ban to be imposed on the American journalist and for the bloc to begin the process to levy sanctions External Action Service, the EU’s diplomatic controlled by Spanish socialist Josep Borrell.

However, the body does not have unilateral authority to sanction individuals but rather can merely present evidence to the European Council, the executive arm of the EU composed of the heads of state or government of the EU member states, any of whom has the power to veto a decision.

This is theater performed in screaming headlines of many languages for the rubes, to feed the pro-EU Commission supporters that they can actually do something other than screw up whole European economies.

Meanwhile Lindner of Germany observes the German economy is tanking, and....

Pretty much the first line of the Hungarian anthem. I sang it every week in church at the end of the service growing up.

Can anyone give....or point me to a concise..REAL explanation as to why this interview pissed the left off so much?

I know the left gets cranky at just about everything Tucker does....but the EU attempting to sanction him...means he is hitting a nerve somewhere.

What is that nerve?

The Left can’t handle it when they can’t control the narrative.

Barbara WaWa interviewed every despotic leader she could get her face in front of...how many times was she threatened with European sanctions? When did they call Mrs. Nixon on the late news to bad-mouth her for entertaining and giving those monsters a verbal platform?!?

FUEU! And all the other idiotic Liberal Leftists crying in their hypocritical echo chambers!!

"Thank god at least one country in Europe is willing to stand against the Brussels fascists."
A nation is a group of similar people and culture, not just a geographical area. In that sense Hungary is a nation, unlike the rest of Europe (and the US) whose populations have been diversified.
