Has the Europeaun Union remained an unfulfilled promise?

Abstract

After two decades of EU membership, a majority of the Hungarian public still supports membership. However, reflecting intense governmental influencing in terms of communication and policies alike, the previously negligible euroskepticism has benn gaining substantial ground. Following a different path from what ‘Brussels’ aims at, has become part and parcel of good manners nowadays. The round anniversary of Hungary’s EU accession allows for a strategic rethinking of pluses and minuses of the road taken. Finally, I contemplate where the line of regular confrontation with the Union may lead us.
