      Péter Magyar won the election in a blowout making Orbán’s party practically irrelevant. He is an ex-Fidesz member that broke off and is heading a broad grassroots party.

      He himself is old-school conservative coded, but his party is very broad and includes everyone from racial justice activists to members of the military to quite literally random people. Most of his party is brand new to politics and made up of working class people, most new representatives were like the town doctor or engineers before.

      The party’s policies are a working social net including investments into education and healthcare, an independent prosecutors office and EPPO membership, a special office to prosecute corrupt politicians, adopting the Euro and contributing to a stronger EU and stronger voices to the Eastern EU in Brussels, support for racial, sexual and other minorities and so on.

          Yeah, that’s a major WTF, especially since he wants to rejoin the ICC (or rather cancel the process of leaving).

          My guess would be that he is doing all the shit he thinks is the default.

          Good question how that turns out. Especially with the current state of international relations.

      Victor Ghoulash and his Paprikash Party beat out Orban’s Fedora Party. Ghoulash wants to instate caps on rent, oil, and produce prices and align Hungary strategically with Turkmenistan.

        I was making a point about asking for internet commenters to educate you because you don’t trust journalists.

          The Atlantic does not do journalism lol it’s a neo liberal rag. Case in point, pretending that swapping a far right politician for another is somehow proof that “illiberalism is not inevitable”
