Dude's not perfect, and I won't vote for him next election most likely even if he is, even if I think he's perfect as well. One party having 70% of seats is not natural.

But just let me be happy that some dude ran on "let's jail the 3000 most wealthy thieves in the country", won overwhelmingly and didn't yet roll back on it, in fact he doubled down.

So in the meantime he clarified that while he invited everyone and their cats to the anniversary of the revolution against the Soviets, he kinda made a mistake, and he won't block sanctions against Israel and will rejoin the ICC and prosecute Netanyahu.

It was more of a gaffe than an actual policy position.

Iran let a lot of non-US ships, like ships from China or Spain through as long as they paid with RMB or EUR instead of USD.

The US wanted to stop that because it could collapse the petrodollar and they'd have to start paying for their own debt spending. So basically the US lets shipping through that supports the petrodollar, Iran lets shipping through that undermines it.

It's my take on it though, everything is likely much more fuzzy.

This is normal city stuff to be honest.

He was in government for 20 (16+4 before) and stole for longer than that.

SPAs were a mistake.

Budapest or this specific rally? Budapest is real nice, but this rally was fully political, the attractions and activities are the people and politicians.

Yeah, on the one hand that was an idiotic thing to say but what he said was that immigrants were housed in inhumane ways and he wants to stop that.

Regarding extreme immigration control, what would be a better way? He wants immigrants to be swiftly processed and either granted entry or refused in a strict but humane way. This, and greater contribution to Fronted.

The plan is to avoid people in camps. What better solution do you have? This is not the US, there are very few undocumented people going around and most of them seem to be Russian spies TBH

What is the "leftist" solution to immigration in the EU?

He also controlled that as he could outspend the opposition 500 times as much on ads there. TikTok was fully Orbán-sided, Twitter was too despite not really being relevant in Hungary, Facebook was also on his side.

Reddit was the one platform that wasn't.

Magyar's counter was doing rallies and basically taking a year to go to every single settlement in Hungary.

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.
