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.
If the loss is big enough, there is no way to get the foot in the door, might not waste the political capital of a tantrum to keep doing damage leading opposition.
And the loss is basically a wipeout. They are practically irrelevant in Parliament, and Tisza, unlike in Poland, can just boot out any of their appointees as they have a supermajority.
Holy shit, fantastic result! Orban deserved that lol
Yay. :)
I also note the turnout is huge, in the early evening, 75% of eligible people had voted.
An incredible number. That is civic duty!
79.5% is the final number. Absolutely insane, people really had enough or Orban
It was a good day
It surely feels good to see a fascist lose. That’s enough for me these days.
I can’t even imagine the elation Hungarians must be feeling right now!
It’s more like relief.
It was insane, we partied until 3 am on the streets of Budapest. People were hanging from poles, shooting fireworks and dancing
Great pic. How’s the hangover? :D
Someone please tell me the opposition winner is legit and not another Russian stooge
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.
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.
There’s another EU member with a russian stooge in power, isn’t there? I could be wrong but I think it was Slovakia that recently elected one.
Still great news that Orban is out.
C’mon, guy is a lot of things but not a friend to Russia
He’s legit, no worries on that front. Implementing policies and promises - let’s see, but I’m optimistic
In the back of my head, I’m slightly worried when a European country has a party that has more than 50% of the seats. We’re supposed to not be two-party systems.
But on every other part of my head, this feels great. Good stuff, hungarians! I wish I had free money to invest into Hungary. Seems like a safe bet right now.
Drunk with power he lost his sense in the end. Next Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and so on.
I think 2 of those 3 will be dead before ever handing over power
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think netanyahu is up for election this year.
Literally can’t believe it. Maybe there’s hope yet.
Please Vance, vouch for Erdogan next time
Come on. Am I dreaming?
April First! 🖕🖕
He’s probably packing his suitcases for an “extended stay” in Russia. And some of them will be packed with money and gold…
Maybe he’ll go to Albania with Eric Adams.
What the fuck is that parasite doing in Albania? lol
