Hungary unveiled its logo and motto on Tuesday 18 June as it prepares to take over the presidency of the Council of the European Union from Belgium for six months on 1 July. The formula chosen by the authorities of the country governed by the nationalist Viktor Orbán undoubtedly reminds you of something.
In fact, Hungary chose a Rubik’s Cube in the colors of the European and Hungarian flags. “Make Europe Great Again”. A choice reminiscent of the motto “Make America Great Again” Popularized by Donald Trump during his election campaign in 2016.

Both are radical nationalists, hold tough positions on immigration, and have led to reduced access to abortion in their countries.
The Hungarian president hinted at what the Rubiks’cub represents during a press conference this Tuesday “The Essence of Hungarian Genius”And its slogan “Performance marks the presidency”, reports Politics.
