    Why is this shit upvoted? It reeks of Russian propaganda!

    just like Viktor Orbán was when he first got elected,

    Orban is corrupt now, if Orban wasn’t corrupt 16 years ago, it seem to me to be fine that Péter Magyar is like Orban 16 years ago.

    I have no idea what point you are trying to make, because Péter Magyar will be a huge change in the position of Hungary towards Europe and away from Russia and USA.

    could easily become the next Viktor Orbán,

    That’s just stupid, that can be said about everybody.

    this isn’t as awesome as it might first appear.

    Typical Russian propaganda rhetoric when something goes against them.

        Is “here” In Hungary? And how much of that is Russian propaganda you think?
        Orban basically control the media, are you not aware Hungary is constantly bombed with propaganda?

        The way to end that, is to vote for a pro EU candidate, because pro EU is also pro democracy. And Orban is destroying democracy in Hungary.

        but that’s no excuse to vote differently

        Yes absolutely, the best vote seems to be for Péter Magyar.

          yes it’s Hungary. I don’t think it’s russian propaganda, it’s kind of an easy thought to draw yourself if you know where does he come from.

          Orban basically control the media, are you not aware Hungary is constantly bombed with propaganda?

          no, obviously I’m entirely unaware that the state TV channels, 99% of local and regional newspapers, lots of news sites and most radio stations are spewing propaganda 24/7.

            if you know where does he come from.

            I know he comes from Orbans party, but I also know that Orban wasn’t thought to be corrupt in the beginning.
            So it seems to me to show character for Péter Magyar that he no longer could stand by Orbam destroying Hungary.
            Hungary must I assume have been pro EU to seek membership, and work for years to meet the requirements.
            So it seems to me it is Orban that changed, while Péter Magyar maintained his democratic anti corruption values.

            no, obviously I’m entirely unaware

            You hadn’t yet stated “here” is Hungary, so your sarcasm is misplaced.
            Your “easy thought” is very likely emphasized by propaganda, it’s a typical Putin strategy to make an election seem futile to the opposition. And this is right up that alley.
            If you had the thought yourself, you might not have noticed it as propaganda, because of confirmation bias.
