The fifth meeting of the European Political Community, a forum that brings together European Union countries and their neighbors, became a kind of group therapy in the face of Donald Trump's victory in the United States. The worst forecast for Europe has been fulfilled by the return to the White House of the populist leader who turned the continent upside down in his first term.
This came as a surprise to most European leaders, except for the event's host, Hungarian far-right Viktor Orbán, who had assured that he was toasting with vodka – and not with champagne because he was in Kyrgyzstan – when the result became known: “They want to imprison him , confiscated his assets and killed him, and now he is president.”
