In a major shift for the European Union, the departure of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has paved the way for key foreign policy decisions to be made within the 27-member bloc. Dubbed the 'spoiler-in-chief' due to his frequent opposition to EU policies, Orban's ouster has removed a significant obstacle to cooperation among member states. His departure comes as the EU faces growing challenges from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and ongoing tensions with China, making it crucial for the bloc to present a united front on the global stage. As leaders in Brussels breathe a sigh of relief, they are now free to pursue long-stalled initiatives and strengthen ties with other nations, potentially marking a new era of EU foreign policy.
