Does Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán want to take over the European Council?

The Global Agora

Does Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán want to take over the European Council? Charles Michel, the current President of the European Council, wants to run in June's EU elections, so there is a possibility that Orbán can replace him as Hungary starts its Presidency of the Council of the EU on July 1st. So what could be Orban's plan and how to deal with his regime? I talked to Daniel Hegedüs. He is a German Marshall Fund Senior Fellow focused on Central Europe and he extensively covers populism and democratic backsliding in Central and Eastern Europe. Listen to our conversation.
