Fingers crossed. Orban will not go quietly.

He (and his party) has amassed shittons of government money, funneled them into private equities, made a rule about not having to publish what happens to that money, and used it for whatever the government wouldn’t be allowed to. One of his cronies (none other than the ex leader of the National Bank and the minister of economy) was reported to have moved an astronomical amount of valuables to Dubai in literal containers. He also replaced basically everyone in important institutions with his bootlickers.

Just because Orbán gets removed from his seat, it doesn’t mean he still won’t have near infinite wealth and influence to try and get back as hard as he can.

The people of Hungary seem to have quite a long fight ahead of them.

So say we all.

This is the way.

Hungary is a fully captured state. It is the poster child for illiberal democracy; it’s actually no longer possible for anyone but Orban and his allies to win at scale.

I don’t buy that. I guess we’ll find out who is right later this month

Telodzrum@lemmy.world on 05 Apr 19:46 collapse

Fingers crossed I’m wrong, for sure.

They can plan and wish all they want, Orban has made it impossible to get anything done without a 2/3 super majority in parliament and at the same time made it as good as impossible for any non-Fidesz alliance or party to win such a majority.

An example of how difficult it will be to not only rule but to stay in power: the budget council, packed with 3 Fidesz loyalists for at least the next 4 years, can veto any government budget for whatever reason. If the government is unable to pass a budget, the president (also a Fidesz loyalist) can call snap elections. Both can only be changed with a super majority. This is just one of the many legislative booby traps in the path of Tisza.
