There a practical reason for this? like more alignment with lobbyists, for whatever financial reasons?

Hungary is governed by a Russia aligned autocrat. This generally does not align with the priorities of the rest of the EU.

Over the last two decades Hungary reversed course from a democracy joining the west to an authoritarian dictatorship in bed with the Russians.

Hence, everything their government does is the opposite of what a typical European Union member would approve of.

  • No Hungary is just not joining the collective of western elitists. Instead they joined Slavic group of elitists. But they are as bad as their neighbours. The EU itself is nothing better than a authoritarian state. In the EU you can be put in prison for being pro Russian or pro Chinese. Your company can be made obsolete when not complying with absurt unfair regulations. The whole of the EU is controlled by foreign companies having zero interest in the well being of its people

  • I wonder what it would take to expel them from the EU...

    • It's simply not possible. EU law has no provisions for kicking a malignant country out. It was simply not foreseen. They can only decide to leave themselves. Which orban will never do because his oligarchs make billions off EU subsidies.

      If it were it would have happened already.
