Abstract:

The measures taken by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after winning the parliamentary elections in April prove he is choosing new instruments in pursuit of his unchanged European policy strategy. This strategy is based on an attempt to exert a disproportionate amount of influence on the Union in relation to the country’s usual potential by, on the one hand, making itself distinct through confrontational actions and, on the other, by a flexible adaptation to the current political conditions. Orbán benefits from the dispute over EU migration policy, tensions in the European People’s Party (EPP) ahead of elections to the European Parliament (EP) in 2019, and support of U.S. President Donald Trump.
