The hypothetical withdrawal of Hungary from the European Union.
Example Sentences
- "Hungary may be resisting the decision-makers in Brussels, but, for now, nobody is talking about a "Huxit" – a Hungarian exit from the EU. The referendum is not legally binding, nationally or internationally."
- "When they joined the Union, Eastern European citizens thought they were finally safe from authoritarianism. In theory at least, that leaves more room for outsiders to pressure the government. An exit from the EU, or Huxit, is an empty threat, and Hungarians do not want to be the black sheep of Europe."
- "Neither law nor political theory can proceed on the basis of measures of popularity – but it is worth remembering that approval ratings for (and trust in) the EU remain among the highest in Hungary and Poland.³² Huxit or Poxit do not appear to be credible threats at this point."
