It was a good day
Brilliant news for Hungary, Europe and Ukraine.
Now let’s watch the theatrics of Vance crying about interference.
I must admit, even though he was down in the polls, I still expected him to win somehow. It gives me a little glimmer of hope that the world may not become an authoritarian hellscape.
I didn’t really expect him to lose. But I had serious doubts if he would get out of the government after it.
But then, I don’t know the details.
Thank you, people of Hungary. You rock
Thanks for sending J.D. Vance our way, it definitely helped!
I’m very proud of Hungary. Even with the media capture and social media bombardment, the nation saw through the fog. And that voter turnout percentage is something I’ve never heard of in my lifetime in my country.
Someone please tell me the opposition winner is legit and not another Russian stooge
Henis legit, no worries on that front. Implementing policies and promises - let’s see, but I’m optimistic
Hard to tell right now. He used to be one of Orban’s buddies up until a few years ago. He’s saying the right things right now - less corruption, more services for Hungarians, closer ties to the EU and NATO.
But we’ll see. From what I understand, Orban was also seen as a progressive about 20 years ago. But then Putin and greed got their hooks into him. Hopefully the new guy is legit.
If he is legit, I wonder his this will shift the dynamic in the EU. Without Hungary vetoing everything Putin doesn’t like, does this clear the path more for Ukraine joining the EU and/or NATO? I know there are a lot of other factors in okay. But the people of Hungary might have just helped others and not just themselves.
C’mon, guy is a lot of things but not a friend to Russian
That will truly be a major test. Man, I’m hoping for a legitimate win for once. This could be the biggest shift since Carney’s victory in Canada. I’ve also sadly seen how gullible people can believe lies like, “America First” and “No New Wars,” and take a pathological liar at their word. Leaving aside the longer-term games being played by billionaires.
Here’s hoping for the best. I’m just honestly a bit shocked that he relinquished power this easily.
Drunk with power he lost his sense in the end. Next Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and so on.
Literally can’t believe it. Maybe there’s hope yet.
Come on. Am I dreaming?
Trump with another impressive foreign election result.
Wish this was a “hooray” moment for Hungary or the region.
This is great news, I will go and buy some fancy wine and nice beer and share with my family and neighbours tomorrow! Cheers folks!
(I know tough times are coming bit this makes things so much better!)
What’s the catch? Just watched John Oliver and got the impression this was impossible
Orban put so many of his cronies everywhere, it will take years if not decades to restore the country
Hopefully not. New party has 2/3rds majority, meaning they will clean house - new AG, new supreme court, election laws, etc. They can do what they want, which is a risk, but there is no other way to defeat Orban’s state capture
They will readjust like the spineless crooks they are.
