Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Orbman and Hungary Peter is funny
Like losing to a guy named Joe ‘Merican.
I know I saw that, cant believe they have people walking around with the last name Magyar lol. Captain John American, are you out there? We need you to lead the American carnation revolution
look at this list: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leggyakoribb_magyar_csal%C3%A1dnevek_list%C3%A1ja
magyar is #35, there are ~20k people with that last name here. also, out of that list, at least the following are ethnicity-based last names: toth, horvath, nemeth, olah, racz, torok, magyar, orosz, lengyel, szekely.
this used to be a pretty multi-ethnic region (multiple kinds of white people) until the 19th/20th century flattened it into nation states.
Wasn't there some Cold War American DoD guy named like Colonel Dick Eagleburger or something
Lawrence Eagleburger?
My last name is basically Magyar but in a different language.
Huge day for European libs. RIP bozo you will not be missed.
Does anyone else think Orban looks a lot like Bolsonaro
They replaced an anti-EU rightoid with a pro-EU rightoid.
The EU libs will be extatic
Rest in piss Orban.
(Not an endorsement of magyar, i just reflexively hate orban)
Without expecting anything at all from Magyar, there has probably made Orban be sad, and that's a nice thought,
Ultra lib Hungary entering the world stage 😎
Packwatch.
get fucked lmaooooo
I kinda thought Fidsz was doing stuff like ballot stuffing, but I guess being in the EU they do have limits on electoral fuckery even if youre right wing
i mean, the new guy is also right-wing, just the pro-eu kind. he literally was in fidesz before 2024.
They will replace Fidesz with 1990's Fidesz (Orbán started out as a eurolib)
[Fidesz] was formed in 1988 under the name of Alliance of Young Democrats (Fiatal Demokraták Szövetsége, with the acronym FIDESZ) as a centre-left liberal activist movement that opposed the ruling Marxist–Leninist government. It was registered as a political party in 1990, with Orbán as its leader. It entered the National Assembly following the 1990 parliamentary election. Following the 1998 election, it successfully formed a centre-right conservative government.
Ah shit, back to the liberal mask again...
Yeap, and the only reason why he resigned was that his wife had to resign after getting wrapped up in a scandal for helping pardon a massive pedophile.
Yeah they just hated that hungary wasnt a rapid nafo country.
There was plenty of electoral fuckery. It just turned out Brussels was much better at doing electoral fuckery than Orban was. I mean the sheer amount of EU funded media weaponized against Orban was crazy. Plus the economic warfare they waged against his government by cutting Hungary's EU funds. Obviously the project of toppling Hungary's government and replacing it with one more submissive to the EU was long ongoing and they invested a lot of resources in it. Not surprising they succeeded.
Real uneducated hours who up?
The EU finally cut the funds after the government couldn't stop breaking EU law and misapropriating funds. That's not economic warfare. Don't fall for right wing propaganda.
There is always some justification offered, but you would have to be naive to believe that it was not motivated by the fact that Orban was a thorn in Brussels' side on the topic of Ukraine. It's not right wing propaganda that the EU has wanted to get rid of him for a long time now. Plenty of EU governments do shady things with EU funds and Brussels doesn't go after them that hard. Let's not pretend like the EU is just some sort of neutral and virtuous policeman here.
