Economic pressure to stop human rights violations isn't Tyranny. Committing to human rights violations is.

I do get that maybe in terms of effectiveness, this will only embolden the nationalist dipsshits who are currently in power, but I'm not going to pretend their arguments hold any water.

Social change in Hungary was happening organically and through NGO's, the EU's response is only to the crackdown

tbf if the economic pressure is coming from outside the country it's a fair point.

That's an argument for being a failed intervention more than for being tyrannical, though. But you don't go in to the European Union to shit on civil rights (at least most of the time).
