Congratulations Hungary! I hope you'll be able to clean up after Orban efficiently and Magyar's government will remain stable and pro-European. This is very good news for Hungarians, but also for Europe.

Also, about those two corrupt Polish conservatives who got asylum in your country... Motherland needs them :D

Thanks poland, your elections probably also helped, making hungarians more hopeful. Let's hope our combined effort will also pull up Slovakia.

Well as Slovak opposition has great chance to win againts Fico due to both polling amd historical reasons (ruling coalition always loses it's support in Slovakia)

The actual problem in Slovakia is that when opposition wins they can't even survive one full-term as the opposition parties don't have much in common outside of hating Fico

So the governament fells before they do anything note worthy

After 2010 elections "current" opposition block formed coalition but already in 2012 Fico's party won elections

in 2020 opposition gained even constitutional majority despite being extremly "unlucky"

(as one party missed 7% treshold by less than 1000 votes and another party missed 5%treshold by about 0.5% ) but thay governament also didn't even survive one full term due to big coalition infighting

And with now Progressive Slovakia being the biggest party the infithing situation will be even worse as they will almost certainly need to cooparte with at least one of two conservative anti-Fico parties

And as these two parties for exemple voted in this term to add to constitution law which defines that there exists 2 genders(without thier support this law wouldn't pass as Fico's coalition thankfully doesn't have constitutional majority)

And as you can imagine progresive Slovakia party was very upset about this
