In today's episode of, "the European People's Party helps its dictator ally in Hungary", a new delaying tactic: a "task force". 🙄
The @EPP could have decided to #ExpelFidesz at any point for years. They continued backing it instead.

I was worried it might be a new committee or an advisory group, but a task force... Wow! That really shows they mean business now! This isn't a way for the EPP to continue supporting the dictatorship it helped take hold in EU member Hungary. No, not at all. A task force, people!
People, people... Why isn't this sinking in? It's a task force! A TASK FORCE! This is HUUUUUGE!
It may even lead to guidelines!

OK, OK, apologies for my excitement. As many people have now cautioned me in the replies, the @EPP's new task force may not lead to guidelines directly but only to a white paper on recommendations for guidelines, but still, this is HUUUUUGE!
Hungary's dictatorship is quaking!
Hungary's dictatorship is quaking!
Now the serious point: the fact that the European People's Party has for years refused to #ExpelFidesz shows that the @EPP/@EPPGroup support their ally, Viktor Orbán. They backed him as he created a dictatorship in Hungary, and they back him to this day.
Some have noted quite correctly that I should have said, "YUGE", instead of, "HUGE", in this thread. My sincere apologies.
