World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If EU had a federal police, Orban would be arrested.
I seriously hope the Hungarian votes Orban out in the upcoming election, and when that is done, that Orban will face criminal charges.
I seriously hope EU leaders grow a fucking spine and kick those assholes out.
I hope the population vote him out, and turn more pro EU.
If they reelect Orban though, then I completely agree with you. There's a limit to how many chances they should have.
Sadly EU leaders think they still have 15 chances left.
misinformation is too strong. Hopefully they won't get a supermajority again at least..
I’m waiting for everyone to understand we’re in a global information war, and nowhere can really have free and fair elections with the current state of information.
It's mostly just Orban and his buddies though.
And the majority of population that voted for them multiple times.
Yeah, never mind the election rigging.
EU is built on naive idealism. The charter does not have provisions for how to kick someone out. Hungary would have to do a Brexit on their own, which of course they won't.
You can suspend their rights. That would actually be the perfect solution. They stay in the common market so EU's economy would not be impacted in any way. You just don't let them vote. Sanctioning the shit out of them would be even easier. Suspending rights has to be unanimous but I'm not sure who would object it. Slovakia maybe? It's hard to believe EU would not be able to push this through if they really wanted. Anyway, can't or don't want to is equally pathetic here.
The EU isn't a federation, not as of 2026.
I do kind of hope that someone lends the funds to cover it, though, and that Orbán loses next month and Hungary subsequently hands it back.
From looking at how it takes away self determination in USA, I hope we never get federal police in EU.
But the lack of ability to handle a rogue state like Hungary is a problem.
We have federal police here in Australia. They don't have to be bad. It can be useful when criminals travel across borders - all states have their own police force and jurisdiction ends at the border. Mostly our criminals are dealt with by state police but sometimes the AFP get involved where necessary.
They would be shot to death by Hungary's military. Or any other member state's where applicable. The EU is not a (federal) state and there is no popular support for becoming one.
Orban might be a piece of shit but that does not justify making the EU a state and forcibly taking sovereignty away from members.
