It has been proposed that Hungary withdraw from the European Union (EU), a scenario sometimes referred to as Huxit,[1] Huexit,[2] Hunxit,[3] and Hunexit,[4] all being portmanteaus of “Hungary” and “exit”.[5] In Hungary, a member of the EU since 2004, right-wing populist politicians have drawn comparisons between the EU and the former Soviet Union (USSR), seen as a past oppressor in the country. Furthermore, democratic backsliding is a phenomenon present in Hungary. As a result, it has been suggested that Hungary should leave the EU.[6]
