Hungary Takes Over Rotating Presidency of EU Council
Hungary has assumed the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union for the next six months. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Hungary aims to prioritize EU competitiveness, defense policy, migration control, and agricultural reform. The presidency’s motto, “Make Europe Great Again,” reflects a stance emphasizing unity and proactive global engagement.

Hungary’s presidency comes amid ongoing tensions with the EU regarding democratic principles and rule-of-law concerns. Despite criticisms, Hungary pledges to act as an “honest broker” during its presidency, collaborating with all member states and institutions.
The presidency’s logo features a Rubik’s Cube, symbolizing Hungarian ingenuity and the complexity of European affairs. It highlights unity among EU member states, represented by the cube’s interconnected elements.
Hungary will hand over the presidency to Poland at the end of the year, marking the continuation of the EU’s rotating leadership.
