Orban has lost in Hungary

Doesn’t sound like Magyar is going to be under the EUs thumb. Said he’s not accepting illegal migration, only those that go through the correct procedures.
The fence isn’t coming down & will remain. Where it is damaged it will be repaired.

Hungary has been wary of and sometimes frightened of Russia since the country staged an uprising in 1956 to remove the country's oppressive communist government and the hated AVO secret police. The Russians decided to invade and crush the uprising and thousands of Hungarians were killed. It's likely Orban saw that by staying friendly with Putin, the Russians would leave Hungary alone.

What Allira said ^

Don't get too excited, ladies. I think the people of Hungary are afraid of Russia and that is the reason for this result. I don't believe that a population would change its outlook so drastically as to swing from Right to Left so soon.
Time will tell, of course, but if you think Hungary will now be content to come under Ursula's thumb I think you are going to be disappointed.

They haven't swung from Right to Left.

Orban was an extreme far-right Nationalist
Magyar is a centre right, moderate Conservative.

I’m confused too. Sticking with Orban would have been the logical thing to do if people were so afraid of Russia, you don’t abandon Putin’s biggest European allies unless you want change,

But Magyar isn't "left". I'm a bit confused by this post, especially the bit about Hungary being "under Ursula's thumb".

They were sick of Orbans's corruption and his links to Putin. There were pictures of Ursula VDL and Zelensky all over Hungary in support of Magyar. Hungarians see strength in the EU membership. Hooray!

But we all know that the UK doesn’t have the capability to send ships to support the blockade… so in the circumstances, we have no choice but non involvement.

You are obviously unaware of HMS Duncan. Classed as the most advanced warship in the world.
Btw. In active service at this very moment.

Very pleased, hope things get better for the people.

Putin will have to find other ways of interfering in Europe. He is already " interfering " with the internet at my DDs Uni in Estonia.

Hear, hear AuntieE 👏👏👏

Almost eighty per cent turn out. That's democracy.
Trump has just lost an ally.

Laughably Magyar is described as centre right.
He will do exactly what he is told by the EU.

You are entitled to your opinion, but have you any facts to back this statement up?

Magyar has won because he is promising a more democratic government and is aware how dangerous Russia is.

Good news in my book. I am inclined to feel that any politician who can see that we need to defend ourselves equally against Putin and Trump, allow the gay commumity freedom to conduct their private lives as they wish, and that we should try to help those displaced by tolitararian states, climate change, or sheer famine is worth celebrating.

jakuss, please could you explain what you mean because I don't understand your posts (and I don't suppose I'm the only one).

Are you far left, what's with this left and right

Really, now it too with be flooded by the boats

Definitely amazingly positive news after 16 years of Far Right and the waning of Trump´s influence as well.

I was overjoyed to hear this news!

I was responding to petra …, so no, not my deflection.
Have you tried ChatGPT Casdon? Completely different view and much more accurate.

It uses the same sources ronib. When information comes from the Royal Navy’s own site it provides the same detail whichever search engine you use? I guess you are a stranger to AI, or you would not ask questions like that.

Good, TBH I’d half expected for him to do a Trump and declare the election invalid because it had been rigged.

Yes, that was my concern too.

Well done Hungary. First bit of political good news for a long time.

Crowds cheering means nothing. Didn’t we all cheer in the UK after the last election and we’re not cheering now?

Bet you’re fun at parties 😁

twaddle

I thought this thread was about Orban.

Are the last few posts on the wrong thread?

ronib likes to divert a thread...
