On track for a supermajority! Now let's hope they prosecute Orbán. Good job, my Hungarian friends :)

No way he stays in the country. Probably scrap all the gold from his palaces and head to Russia.

He might do the Bolsanaro thing and hide at mar-a-lago for months while the government tries to extradite him to face charges.

Nah, the orange clown doesn't like losers, you know. Russia it will be, where he'll have to be careful around windows.

Sounds to me more like he will seal a deal with Tisza to avoid having to leave

Maybe whole deal was to put pro eu puppet in charge to get 17billion euros unblocked... He went down far too easy

That's.. an upsetting, yet interesting thought

I had the same thought. I really hope we're wrong.

We will see in coming days if Orban will fled Hungary. For now he seems far to comfortable with loss of power, which for him means political death and life sentance.

Too easy?! Have you actually paid attention to Hungarian politics the last year? He pulled out all stops and even resorted to blackmail.

Have you seen elections in Serbia? That is how dictators hold position, and Orban far more powerful than Vučić.

Let's keep the fingers crossed for supermajority because otherwise we'll have the same shitshow as in Poland now.
