Criminals constantly adapt the way they function, and if we want to fight them successfully so must we.

Only a decade ago, just before Hungary assumed the Council’s presidency, international news media tracking Orbán’s early antidemocratic moves sounded “warnings over press freedom” in the country. Journalists also noted the Hungarian government had installed, as part of its “showcase” in the Council building, a rug featuring a map of the country’s pre-World-War-I borders, a prominent nationalist symbol.
