If the glitzy resort towns of Cannes and Saint-Tropez are out of your budget, why not head to the Croatian coast, a favorite of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán? (A bearded, T-shirt-clad, decidedly chill-looking Orbán was photographed on the island of Brač in the summer of 2022 and spotted with a fan on another island, Vis, this month.)
How to get there: The French Riviera is a little under two hours by plane from Brussels or about a 12-hour drive if you’d like to follow the lead of Czech MEP and Patriots member Filip Turek, who has already driven his 1984 Rolls-Royce from Prague to Brussels and Strasbourg — ostensibly to give the middle finger to the European Union’s carbon-conscious policies. The Croatian coastal city of Split is also around a two-hour flight from Brussels, with the surrounding islands reachable by ferry.
Unscrupulous Socialist MEP
Remember former Socialists & Democrats MEPs Pier Antonio Panzeri and Eva Kaili’s, ahem, affinity for the likes of Morocco and Qatar? Why not honor their legacy this summer by flying to an exotic destination where you can ride a camel and get lost in the desert?
Whether you are into adventurous excursions in the sand or not, we promise that you won’t get bored! Between Qatar’s fascinating modern architecture and Morocco’s UNESCO heritage sites, both countries have a lot to offer as holiday destinations.
How to get there: Ryanair offers cheap flights to Morocco’s main cities, but you will have to go from Charleroi — not fancy, but it will allow you to travel under the radar. If your destination of choice is Qatar, Qatar Airways offers direct flights from Brussels Airport. It might be a bit more complicated to avoid attention, but you will be flying with class.
(Almost any other) Socialist
Not everyone can afford (or wants) to go to Qatar. As there are fewer Socialist-run countries on Europe’s political map these days, how about heading to Spain (run by Europe’s Ken, Pedro Sánchez)?
