20.03.2025 โ‡ข Day Hungary Stood Alone As Europe Pledged Peace Through Strength
โŒจThe European Council convened on defense and Ukraine, with 26 EU nations adopting conclusions without Hungary's participation - an unprecedented procedural maneuver. The declaration pledged "unwavering support" to Ukraine through "peace through strength," while Orbรกn's isolation underscored deepening EU divisions.

Meloni continued defending her controversial statements on the Ventotene Manifesto, claiming she was "insulted by the nostalgic left" while advocating for EU-funded defense without increasing national debt. ECB President Lagarde warned proposed US tariffs could cost Europe 0.3% of GDP.

Israel expanded ground operations in Gaza with reports of 95 Palestinian casualties, while Hamas fired rockets at Tel Aviv and protests erupted against Netanyahu's government.

In sports, Germany came from behind to defeat Italy 2-1 in Nations League, while Rome celebrated an โ‚ฌ88.2 million Superenalotto winner who purchased just a โ‚ฌ3 ticket.
