More likely for them to leave or be expelled from the EU or something lol
Can't be expelled. You can be stripped of voting power, but not expelled. And no, they ain't leaving either.
Otherwise, the "pro-Putin" thing is a non-issue. We buy gas and trade with Russia and get called out by the US, while the US is buying SA oil and selling them depleted-uranium bombs to drop on Yemen. Once that stops, we can talk about morals in trade.
As for democracy, Hungary is actually not that bad in terms of opposition. Budapest is opposition-held, and the opposition parties are forming a big-tent for the next national election.
It is pretty bad in terms of the government taking over the independent media and trying to destroy civil society, though.
