Hungary, represented by its Prime Minister Viktor Orban, took over the rotating six-month presidency of the Council of the European Union in July 1, and promptly decided to do something unconventional: actual work. So out came the knives. 

Back in 2022, the most memorable thing that France's Emmanuel Macron did while in the role was make a logo for his EU presidency that incorporated his own initials. The benefit to the French and European people was fantastic – as in, it exists in fantasy. 

For his EU presidency meeting in France, Macron stood alongside unelected European Commission bureaucracy president "Queen" Ursula von der Leyen, as they championed issues like climate change, digital transition, and the EU military industrial complex (er, the "EU Defence Union"). They were only too happy to serve up typical globalist fare for their fellow elites to gobble down. But these same folks are now gagging on Orban's chosen agenda: peace.
