With Charles Michel stepping down, the European Union (EU) landscape could turn extremely complex.
For Hungary, in addition to chairing Council meetings, taking over the presidency would also mean playing a central role, together with the Parliament, in forming the new Commission, which will take place in the autumn,

He provides a kind of impetus to the functioning of the European Council, she added.
