Love your glasses, Boyan. Can we talk about how our dreams of becoming part of the EU have been crushed? There is a huge lack of democracy in Eastern Europe and it has happened (partly) during our bring members of the EU. What the heck happened? Why are we shitting on our own doorsteps and why does the EU assist to this? Somebody (I think in a Jacobin article) made a very good point that Hungary has massive proportions of Western (mainly German) investments and their interest is to keep things as they are: low wages, weak unions, employment law that favours employees. Neoliberalism at its best. Have we had a crazy good opportunity (joining the EU) and screwed it up or was it all just an illusion? I'm confused.
