Yeah. Get those votes from them!!!

…by doing something that normalizes the far-right in such a way that many more people will be willing to vote them in the next elections.

Idioter.

…just like articles in 2014 referred to separatist Russian speaking Ukrainians. And still, in reality they were people who had come from the territory of the Russia for the specific purpose of leading “separatism”.

The Russia says they are separatists. In 2014 DW believed the Russia and in 2026 they seem to believing the Russia again.
Okay, I do believe that there are some pensioners that grew up in Soviet times and really want the city to cede to the Russia, but even most of Narva’s Russian-speaking pensioners are strongly against that. Still, a hundred pensioners are (hopefully) not what this article’s headline is talking about, as that would be intentional misleading. This article’s headline is much more likely to be talking about the people who have come from the Russia in order to function as a pretext for the Russian troops to invade Estonia. But in 2014 DW called those people “East-Ukrainian separatists”, so it’s not suprising they might be doing the same again.

Also, the video clearly shows Russian-speaking people telling – in Russian language – that the idea of such separatism is ridiculous. They would not say that if they knew even one Russian-speaker who has separatist thoughts.

There is no reason to believe this is any different from what took place in 2014.

No, it actually doesn’t.

it’s facing a campaign tryinc go incite Russian-language separatism. But just like in Ukraine in 2014, they’ll need to bring actualy Russians from the Russia to do the actual “separatism”.

And it’s incredibly saddening that still in year 2026 DW calls the Russian troops “separatists”. Were the German soldiers in 1939 Belgian separatists in DW’s opinion?

You probably meant to say “reasonings” not “reasons”, right?

In EU they handle this by showing a bunch of prices on the same price tag. You choose the correct line according to where you are located and the price stands there.

Not very difficult.

And, most.importantly, done by all US clothes stores that operate in at least two countries in the EU.

And then of course, to the other question: I’m from Finland. My PPP increases a lot when I go to Germany. I get a higher amount of Euros as salary, but I can buy much less with my Finnish salary in Finland than I could buy with a lower German salary in Germany. And then when I use my Finnish salary in Germany… Woooo! :)

And when I go to some country in what used to be called “eastern block” in the past, then yes: I can indeed buy a lot more than I can buy in what used to be called “the west” some twenty-thirty years ago. But that’s the same in Hungary and in Slovakia, as both countries have been mismanaged in a similar manner. Whether Hungary has Euro or not, doesn’t really affect this much at all.

How many units of money you get for one euro tells nothing about how weak or strong a currency is.
When Latvia still had its own currency, the Lat, one euro was actually worth something like 4,20 Lat.

Or measued in English pounds:
One Latvian Lat was about 1,20 £. Does that mean that Latvia was/is richer than UK?

Nope. The numbers in a currency are nothing but a number. They can be high or they can be low. Just like 20 degrees Celcius is not richer or poorer than 68 Fahrenheit. It’s just a different unit that has different numbers for the same thing.

But then: In 2004 I remember one Euro was about 250 Hungarian Forint. And now it’s almost 400. The face value of the numbers doesn’t mean anything, but the changes in exchange rate do. Your one million Forint in your bank account are a very different amount of Euros now than they were before Orbán fucked up the country’s economy starting in 2012 or 2013 or whenever he began his reign.

At the same time: If the Euro was worth, say 110 Forints, that would actually mean that the Hungarian currency is strong, because it would be twice as strong as it was earlier. But now it’s about half as strong as it used to be.

And the answer to the question “why” is indeed Orbán. He has transformed the country into a Russian-style pyramid scheme where the main point of the economy is to provide profit for the leader. And then maybe it will also produce something to the country’s population as a side effect. Or maybe not.

He has no plan. He’s just saying these words, hoping that somehow that might gain him votes.

He has no other choice.

Putin has made it clear to him that the photos they have of Orbán having an intercourse with an underage girl will be made public unless Orbán obeys.

Why is it not a legitimate move? A country is supposed to protect its citizens from harm.

Most deportations are unjust, and if the only efficient way to stop unfair deportations by us is to block them wholesale, then a country has the responsibility towards its citizens to do so.

Anything else would be madness.

It’s also fun that if the driver exhausts all of their 90 days out of 180 while working, that means they are not allowed to travel within EU for a while!

And if they make a tourist trip, they are not allowed to work so much. But yeah, employing truck drivers with EU passports is a simple and good solution to the problem, so it’s not a huge thing. Also, if the British truck drivers lose their job because of not having an EU passport, they can move to an EU country and work for a truck company there. That way they get a stay permit, allowing them to spend 365 days out of 365 in EU if they so wish!
