European Council President thanks Hungary for successful EU presidency
António Costa, President of the European Council, has thanked Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his team for their work performed during Hungary’s EU presidency in the past half year.
“Thank you, Viktor Orbán and the [Presidency] team for your work during the 6 months of your presidency of the Council,” Costa said in an entry posted on social media platform X. “Köszönjuk Magyarország!” he wrote in Hungarian. Hungary held the rotating EU presidency for the second time between July and December 2024. It held the first presidency in January-June 2011.
Thank you, @PM_ViktorOrban and the @HU24EU team, for your work during the 6 months of your presidency of the Council.

Do I sense a bit of sarcasm in this thank you message as Costa is hoping that after Hungary’s presidency, he can next work for a safer and more secure Europe with Poland…
Hungary was so successful that no Hungarian representative has been invited to the opening event of Poland’s presidency.
