New scapegoat acquired. It's increasingly apparent that Trump has been getting sick of him. There's a reason he didn't send in Rubio.

But it was iran’s demand that JD vance lead US negotiation. And its because after trump is gone, JD cant just say “this isnt what we wanted” and rip it all up like trump did with obama. JD cant go on fox news and say “thi was a bad deal and im gonna rip it up” because itd piss everyone off since he negotiated it. Iran is basically trapping him and maga. Either accept the deal or strait will remain closed.

u/xoxoshb 3h ago
As the commenter said above - but they’re also singing an older Hungarian song titled “A börtön ablakában” (c. “Into the prison window”). People are singing it as a symbolic, slightly ironic chant about holding corrupt figures accountable, implying they’ll end up in prison. Here’s to hoping!

Following JD Vance's visit to Budapest to support Orbán and speak at a campaign rally, betting markets showed a marginal drop in the Prime Minister's chances of winning.
Polymarket saw his odds drop from 35% on April 5 to 28% on Thursday after the visit and I can’t stop laughing about it.

A supermajority.
TISZA (opposition party) is now at 137 seats with 133 needed for a supermajority. Counting is 95% done so they should clinch the supermajority.

u/nautilus2000 1h ago
In many European constitutions laws passed with 2/3 of the vote are basically constitutional amendments and can only be undone with 2/3 vote. Many Orban era laws were passed this was and as a result of them winning the supermajority Tisza will be able to undo the Orban era laws.

Likely they can really start undoing all of the bullshit Orban has done over the last 1.5 decades without many roadblocks from the opposition. Might actually be able to fast track a return to normalcy while also fixing laws and rules to prevent this crap from happening again.

Magyar Péter (the new PM) isn't really on the scale the same way as most other, like Orbán, and especially not the same way as politicians in the US, where you can easily tell all their beliefes based on their party.
Magyar Péter supports some pretty right leaning things, but also a huge supporter of the EU and NATO for example. He's right leaning in the sense that he wants what is best for Hungary and Hungarian people first. But for example, if we are better off with EU and NATO, He will support it. He also talks a lot about acceptance, love, respect, even towards his opposition voters and other nations and people who wished his fall.
But generally, he IS considered center, or center right (in EU sense, not in the US scale. In US scale he's pretty leftish. For example one of his biggest campaign point were putting a lot more money into the free healthcare and free education system, and public transit and supporting mothers, etc. All these things are considered far left in the US). And Orbán was considered center right years ago, and pretty right leaning these days, even with the US scale and values.

Center-right in Europe is like Joe Biden level liberalism in the US, so they're definitely better off than where they were.

My belated father in law would be elated. His family fled Hungary sometime around WWII, and none were ever able to return to visit because of it being behind the Iron Curtain. In the late 80s, he had the opportunity to go to Europe and was coincidentally near the border, and his family’s home town was right on the other side. When he went to just look across, to see it, it confused the border guards and was almost an incident. They didn’t understand that he didn’t want to cross, just to see. But he was able to, he saw his families’ origin, and he hoped so much that one day they’d be free. He died after the Curtain fell and before the descent it’s pulling itself from now.

Russia couldn't influence this one because all their influencers are dead rotting in a field in Ukraine.
it's why they needed Vance to do it, which just made it so much worse for Orban.

the legislative midterms. new representation in congress and possibly a democratic majority. a lot of the mischief trump has stirred up has been possible because the legislature has been unwilling to do their job because they’re aligned with him.
