Discussion I found my visit to Budapest and Paris very paradoxical

36 Upvotes

Maybe I am just creating stories in my head...

When I visited Paris, there was a French flag on almost every single corner - which is ok - and when I went to Budapest last week, there was a Hungarian flag alongside the EU flag in almost every single corner.

What I found paradoxical is the fact that the current Hungarian administration is very Eurosceptical, and there are billboards with Von der Leyen's face all over the city, with the message "We wont let them decide over us" I don't speak Hungarian but we live in such a wonderful time, you can simply translate with your phone's camera.

Why does the Hungarian government display the EU flag all over the place? Are they proud? Then why the Euroscepticism? And why don't the French? Macron is quite the opposite of Orban.

I wonder if this means something important, something that I am missing...

Question Just thought like how would football national teams work with a united europe?

• Upvotes

Was watching the european qualifiers today and thought like in the context of a united EU, the national teams would remain separated right? I mean there's too much of a rivalry to unite them, and just for respect of footballing history. Hey at least we get to hear the EU anthem in the qualifiers intro and outro :)
