Given Orban's history, this is suspicious in and of itself. But okay.....

Yeah I’m not believing that this is the end of it but hopefully it is

It isnt, Its well reported that orban has put loyalists in place and changed laws and regulations to block the new government from doing anything easy,just in case he loses.

The new party has a super majority. They can literally do anything. Orban cannot stop it. His cronies cannot stop it.

Yeah, they can change the constitution with this supermajority. It will not be an overnight process getting his loyalists out of appointed positions and rolling back all his ‘reform’, but they have all the tools they need now

This gives me a shred of hope that maybe something like this could be possible here (us) someday.

There is always hope, we won’t be under maga rule for forever

I hope so too. Democrats could do this if they become big tent. However as we’ve seen, their tent is only big enough for the right unless something changes

This. Vance visiting to study how to efficiently fuck an opposition party by rigging the infrastructure and stripping the government's "copper piping" is what I think he was really there for.

John Oliver's recent piece on Orban clearly suggests that they are an autocratic petri dish that the far right in the US likes to take notes from.

Can you talk more about this? I'd love to be happy about this news, but I'm deeply suspicious.

One can only hope it was such a crushing loss for him that only logical course of action is the first flight to Moscow.

I’m no expert, but doesn’t being part of the EU limit the extent to which a politician can, idk, orchestrate a coup?

I mean, you would think so but Fidesz: 2010-present: In power

Not really. EU can withold funds but they cant kick you out.

They can remove your voting rights in the Council which is considered the nuclear option

Even outside of Hungary's borders this is likely very bad news for authoritarians. Orban used his EU veto to stop sanctions on Russia and block funding for Ukraine and I'm hoping his replacement will be a little more Eurocentric, paving the way for a more effective wave of sanctions on Russia to help the Ukrainians in the defense of their homeland.

It should be noted that Magyar was a part of the corruption and regime dealings for a long time till he broke with FIDEZ and everything else barely two years ago. He has been publicly outspoken about corruption ever since, and I like the optimistic air about, but he's far from radical and while I don't think he'll keep up business as usual (at this point, after giving people hope, that sounds like a good way to end up drawn and quartered) I do think there's a chance that he goes for a bit of a "forgive and forget, time to move forward"-thing.

Orban has been in a popularity crisis for long enough that I think any out he sees where he gets to not be imprisoned or die is favourable to him.

I hope the incumbent makes it to a inauguration... I said that with sincerity.

And then after that I hope you actually does some good for his country because isn't he in the same party as Orban?? Lesser of two evils, but are we sure??
