Leaving the EU?


HUNGARY 

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post 'UK Column News - 26th July 2023':

Senior figures in Hungary now openly speak of leaving the EU, and Poland and others may follow

Jonathan Saxty in the Express documents how the EU has lost its lustre in some of the rest of Europe now, and the UK was just early in the curve

Easterners are weary of the battles with Brussels, and more and more in the East, think it's just better to leave

The prevailing idea in Hungary etc is to transit into the 'European Free Trade Association' or EFTA, along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Britain also was in EFTA during 1960-72.

EFTA countries follow many EU regulations, and allow other EFTA / EU citizens to apply for jobs and move in ... which the UK Brexit camp did not want to tolerate in Britain's 2016 decision, they wanted the 'total break'.

But EFTA countries are not chafing too much. Even tho all EU citizens can in theory move to Switzerland, in practice, to establish Swiss residency, you need to show you can either support yourself or be hired into a Swiss job.

And Switzerland will not be required to accept migrants which the EU will be 'distributing' across the core EU ... a major item leading Hungary and Poland to leave.
