Right? Orban is laughing. Look at how hard the EU worked to stop Brexit, like they would ever cut Hungary loose. They're bluffing.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Isn't that precisely the reason cited for why joining the EU was a devastating mistake for Greece? Tying their economy to a country like Germany through the euro is crippling them.
For Greece, yes. Hungary and Poland for example do not use the Euro. They keep saying they will eventually do so, but have delayed for almost two decades now.
This is how they are able to maintain independence while still benefiting from being in the EU, and why any pressure from the EU has not meant much. They will never give up sovereignty, and the EU is too afraid of losing members to do much about it.
I predict the status quo will remain until the EU falls apart.
