1/7 Orbán had a bad week with signs of economic meltdown and miscalculations about the fight with the EU. The consequences could be far reaching.
- On Monday, Orbán ally, National Bank boss Matolcsy blamed "mistakes" for the weakness of the "vulnerable" economy. On Tuesday Tuesday Hungary vetoed the EU's 18bln aid plan for Ukraine. As a direct consequence, Ecofin postponed the approval of Hungary's recovery plan + also no decision on the development funds. The veto was seen in Brussels as a show of force in the budget fight.

THREAD: Orbán had many losses this week:
👉 He was sidelined by his former EPP friends - the turning point was probably his budget veto last year. Although he withdrew Fidesz from EPP, it is clear that he was forced to go. 👉 Fidesz will end up in the periphery of Brussels politics with Salvini and Kaczynski, instead of the centre, where he always wanted to be.
👉 Breakup was triggered by CDU/CSU changing mind. Orbán is clearly losing Merkel's protection and have to prepare for an era with Lachet.
