So back to the time when hungary wasn't part of the EU?

The motto of next year's Polish presidency will be Great International Government Association

I so have a slogan for Hungary's next presidency: Hungary's Yuropean Presidency Exults Rednecks

Contact me, Orban! I am committed to licensing this.

What the absolute fuck. How do you look at the MAGA trainwreck and think, that's something we should copy.

Last I checked it's working as intended for Trump

[–] anlumo@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

Trump has captured half of the US legislature and has a huge group of people who are willing to die for him in battle (and have done so when trying to take over the Capitol, only increasing their fervour).

Of course this is something totalitarians strive for.

Has any previous presidency of the Council of the European Union had an official slogan?

I checked the websites of the recent presidencies, wikipedia has a nice list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_the_Council_of_the_European_Union#List_of_rotations

All of them has a detailed program and a custom logo, some of them just highlight the core points from the program, some of them has slogans, all of the slogans are just big meaningless words:

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure that they usually have slogans, which are more or less mottos of what issues they want to focus on.

But I could be wrong.

Oh for fuck sake. The US is not a good example to follow!

Again? When exactly was Europe better? When it was in constant war?

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

Remember, it’s only for six months

I'm thinking maybe a red version of one of these hats with some suitable text to be the official hat of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union:

goose with a knife in its mouth "What time whas Europe great, and what was it that made it great?"

They also appear, in a post two hours later, to have unveiled the official logo of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union:

Don't know what to make of that. Rubik's cube? It's a stupid logo

Did anyone not see that coming?
