Good for them. I'm surprised an EU country thinks it can ban such things though, as it's a requirement to not do so under EU law, I think?

His party Fidesz has also gradually moved its European affiliation, from ELDR (liberals) to the EPP (centre-right) to its current position with the so-called Patriots for Europe (the new far-right bloc).
