I’ll tell you everything you need to know about Hungary’s new Prime Minister. Who is he and what are Péter Magyar’s ideas? ???? - Magyar is a conservative-liberal, former member of the SAME party as Orbán, but he resigned due to all the corruption cases within the party. > Immigration — Against European Union policies. In favor of maintaining the border fence. On the campaign trail, he said: “We choose the Hungarian people and we don’t want immigrants.” I’d even say he’s tougher than Orbán on these issues. > Economic — Pro-market, liberal. In favor of lowering taxes. Reducing the power of the State. > Geopolitics — Anti-Putin, but when it comes to Ukraine, he thinks very similarly (remember, they both come from the same party). > Social — “Anti-woke”; in fact, he has presented programs to prioritize the Hungarian family and increase the birth rate. > Defense — Plans to raise military spending to 5% of GDP by 2035.


Now can anyone explain to me like I am 5 how Hungary has fallen?

They know Orban because they're NPCs repeating the talking points they were programmed with.

The funny question is where those talking points originated from, and I would bet a lot of money it was via major ally of Orban.

This new guy seems to be likely to retain the same positions as Orban other than the nonsensical relationship with Russia

Major ally of Orban? How about Orban’s campaign itself.

The new guy is Orban minus corruption (or so he claims) and who is not pro-Ukraine but will also not oppose the EU helping Ukraine.

It looks to me like they made an incremental adjustment but not a u-turn.

I hope he is better. But like here the oligarchs are very strong.

Sounds good. Hope this is right. But just watch. This guy will cave to the EU. The EU will have its way with Hungary to the tune of millions of third-worlders.

I have no idea what he is. I don’t pretend to be informed on crappy European countries elections because I read twitter.

Putin/Russia

Where many of these NPC talking points emerge.

Orban's relationship with Russia goes a LOT deeper than symbolic Ukraine virtue signaling

A piece of education: You're mis-using "NPCs" in this discussion

Twitter is full of rage bait

Same reason why the new Japan PM was supposed to be anti globalist and anti migrant when she was part of the establishment that made those policies and she herself advocated for migrant workforce because of Japan's lack of fertility
