Viktor Orbán may be out — but his man in Brussels is not.
Today on the pod, Ian and Sarah discuss how the Hungarian Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi is expected to stay on in the Berlaymont after his Fidesz party’s landslide election loss back home. They explain why neither the Commission nor the new Hungarian government are in a rush to get rid of the Orbán ally.
Next, they talk about the frontrunner in Bulgaria’s upcoming vote — an ex-fighter jet pilot. It’s the eighth election in five years and voters are hoping for the country to regain political stability.
Plus, chaos has hit airports around Europe as the EU rolls out its new digital border control system. People are missing their flights and waiting in queues for hours.
