When the decision to move was announced on October 25th, I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I appreciated CEU’s move to put pressure on the Hungarian government by giving it a December 1st ultimatum instead of waiting like sitting ducks. On the other hand, I knew that this strategy also enabled the government to pretend that CEU was not actually kicked out of the country, but rather left of its own accord. Ultimately, I was disappointed that CEU would not use its resources and name to stay and fight until the very end, but I thought that it was nevertheless better to go along with the strategy and put pressure on Orbán until December 1st.
