Good headline. Projection is a favourite rhetorical trope of the fascists.

    To be fair. I absolutely hate Orban, but I do think the EU is trying to influence the election. As are Russia and the US. Everyone is trying to look after their own interests.

      their own interests.

      To be fair Hungary signed up to be a full EU member, but then went rogue. So, I feel EU should have some say in the matter. Also, as I see it, for Hungary there are only two choices now;

      • Orbán wins and Hungary becomes a full fledged Ruzzia satellite state like Belarus, and they’ll end up ousted from the EU.
      • Magyar wins and they have a chance to rehabilitate themselves as a good EU member in time.

      Finally, I’d argue that the interest of Hungary lies not with Orbán.

      I sure hope they do. There is blatant unashamed influence from Russia and the US in our everyday politics. In the last years they don’t even try to hide it, Orban and his cronies just went full russian lapdog style in the last election cycle. It would be time the EU counters this with some pro eu talking points because you wouldn’t believe how much lies an average hungarian sees day to day. They are just straight up lying to your face and if you point out the lies you get called an Ukrainian spy or a traitor. Ukraine has millions of spies in the country apparently.
