An unbiased perspective can appreciate the constraints and rails within this small country operates. The need for affordable energy being prominent. One suspects that the main reasons for the unusual noise about Hungary coming from the EU especially are:
Orban refusal to follow Merkel after the Syrian upheaval.
His desire to accept affordable energy from any source.
His opposition to the transfer of huge EU funds to entities outside the EU.

What you see depends on where you stand and you have long stood with Team Putin (and by extension Orban).
