I speak to a lot of hungarians, and they are all very worried about the current situation in their country.

They say when they go back home that general moral is low, and people are just not living good lives anymore.

Most people with skills have left the country, meaning that simple things like building and maintaining houses is almost impossible. Those that are trying to get work done on their house or car are finding that it costs extortinoate amounts for low grade work.

Orban is paying Fidesz friendly families to have more Hungarian children, and at the same time ignoring European immigration quotas and keeping refugees in camps at borders.

European money intended for infrastructure upgrades is funnelled into companies owned by Orbans family and friends.

These are just some of the first hand annecdotes I am regularly hearing.

Orbans regular anti-European stance combined with regular news headlines about the Hungarians governments friendlyness towards Putins Russia, looks really worrying for Europe in the future.

What is the difficulty level of emigrating to Europe, as well as elsewhere, for Hungarians?
