I hope it’s not going to be Germany, the policies of their current conservative leadership is why we’re dealing with a lot of these fires.
They are responsible for making the EU reliant enough on Russia that they thought we would stand by and let Ukraine fall. They are responsible for the absolute state of Hungary. The migrant crisis. Bankrupting Greece in the name of austerity. I’m sure the list goes on.
German car manufacturing. VW’s biggest engine factory is in Gyõr, Hungary. BMW is building in Debrecen, then there is also Mercedes. Hungary is also a major battery manufacturer since recently.
Couple that with some other industry, like the only non-Danish Lego factory in the EU for example, or others.
Cutting Hungary out from the customs union would cost a lot of people with a lot of power in the EU a lot of money.
I would hope this would be a coalition not a single choice. Putting all of democracy’s eggs in one basket seems too precarious given current circumstances.

What is the nexus between Germany and Hungary’s autocratic state?

Wouldn’t it cost Hungary more in terms of job losses and economic loss of productivity to the point Germany should be able to leverage Hungary more?
