What does Merz have to do with it?

He also hopes for that fucker to vanish into irrelevance.

He has rigged the electoral rules to favor his Fidesz party, consolidated control over 80 percent to 90 percent of the country’s media, and packed the courts with yes-men.

Imagine-

…Cover your ears, Americans…

Good?.. Good.

Imagine living in a country state like that.

“Look, I dunno about geopolitics and just where is the “European Union” on a map anyway? I looked, and it doesn’t say that anywhere, so it’s clearly made up. Just tell me who the most treasonous corrupt cunt in European politics is, and he’ll have my support. It worked great as a criteria here, so I see no reason why it wouldn’t work abroad. Bonus points if he rapes kids too.”

The guy who might replace him is just like Viktor Orbán was when he first got elected, and could easily become the next Viktor Orbán, so this isn’t as awesome as it might first appear.

Why is this shit upvoted? It reeks of Russian propaganda!

just like Viktor Orbán was when he first got elected,

Orban is corrupt now, if Orban wasn’t corrupt 16 years ago, it seem to me to be fine that Péter Magyar is like Orban 16 years ago.

I have no idea what point you are trying to make, because Péter Magyar will be a huge change in the position of Hungary towards Europe and away from Russia and USA.

could easily become the next Viktor Orbán,

That’s just stupid, that can be said about everybody.

this isn’t as awesome as it might first appear.

Typical Russian propaganda rhetoric when something goes against them.

tbh, he’s right, many are thinking similarly here.

but that’s no excuse to vote differently
