Hungary used to have a mutual defence pact with PiS-era Poland that scuppered any attempts by the EU to discipline either country. Not that PiS are no longer in power in Poland, hasn’t Fico’s Slovakia stepped into the role?

Nope, because Orban's party denies the legitimacy of Slovakia as an independent state via their grievance culture over the Treaty of Trianon

Fico and other similar politicians are still great friends with orban. Even the Slovak National Party, which is ironic because they were incredibly anti-hungrian bck in the day. But sharing dream of totalitarian country unites.

I bet Putin would lovento get us back into Russian sphere of influence as well and yet Fico and co. still lick his boots.
