Until a few weeks ago, Péter Magyar was virtually unknown. Now, he is dominating conversations and headlines – and making the government of Hungary’s longtime prime minister, Viktor Orbán, deeply uncomfortable.
Some more background from this article : “Magyar has pitched himself as a centrist, focusing on domestic issues – combating corruption, improving healthcare, modernising the education system and aiming to unite Hungary’s highly polarised society. Magyar, by contrast, has said he is in favour of a foreign policy that protects Hungary’s sovereignty while maintaining a constructive relationship with the EU and Nato.”
what does that “constructive relationship” mean
I hope it means “not vetoing everything important”. fingers crossed.
Frankly, nearly anything would be better than the shit Orban has been pulling for fucking years
“Not actively antagonizing”
It means he won’t piss off the hard right
Feels funny that the guy who’s gonna try and save the country literally carries its people’s endonym as his family name XD
Yeah I saw that, but it was too bizar for me to accept it somehow.
at this point I’m supportive of everyone who emerges left of Fidesz and is democratic
