During a recent parliamentary session, members of the European Parliament greeted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban with a rendition of Bella Ciao, highlighting ongoing tensions over his illiberal policies.
Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, intervened during the song, reminding lawmakers to maintain the dignity of the house and emphasized the political tensions surrounding Mr. Orban.
The E.U. has long been critical of Mr. Orban’s government regarding issues such as minority rights and his alignment with authoritarian figures like Vladimir Putin.
Since joining the E.U. in 2004, Hungary under Orban's leadership has faced increasing scrutiny and criticism from Brussels over its diverging political values and human rights issues.
