    Close by meaning in Eastern Europe btw.

    German car maker lobby has been propping up Orbán since 2010.

      Yeah propping up the organ isn’t ideal. At least paying Hungarian workers benefits the EU economy.

        Yeah, those factories have started to fire Hungarian workers as they started to unionize, and are now hiring seasonal staff from Southeast Asia.

        There are outsourcing companies advertising people from the Philippines by saying they don’t know their rights and can be paid below minimum wage.

        All the money from this is either going to German sharehoarders or Orbán’s overseas accounts from the taxes they pay.
