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

    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.

      Let’s not forget Magyar was FIDESZ as well, so don’t give hold your breath. Though he can’t be worse than Orbán.

        Magyar was FIDESZ

        Yips, I recently saw an interview with a Hungarian whom was planning on voting for Magyar hoping that it will prove the “better” choice.

        iirc, Magyar dropped Fidesz after Magyars wife was allegedly falsely accused for fraude or something, like 2-3 years ago or so.

        #add just looked it up, apperantly now ex-wife it’s a complete shitshow even more then before if that’s possible.

          Judit Varga, ex-Minister of Justice, gave an official pardon to a known pedophile. After the fact Magyar filed for divorce, left Fidesz and established his own party called Tisza(name of a hungarian river, abbreviated from “tisztelet és szabadság” meaning respect and freedom). Many politicians from Fidesz and many ousted Fidesz politicians went to Tisza. We can only hope they would do things differently but they are the only hope because the old opposition is a joke. Hungarian lore is just wild.
