Best news in a long time. 👍 😎
Congratulations to Hungary, hopefully this will restore democracy in Hungary, although Peter Magyar is also extreme far right, he at least support democracy and EU and that Ukraine can become a member of EU.
He’s not “extreme far right”. He might be more right-wing than the average EU leader, but that’s what you’re going to get in a country that has been flooded with right-wing propaganda for decades.
Realistically, what matters is that in this election Hungary had a choice between Orban and not-Orban, and not-Orban actually won. Because someone else won in a relatively free and fair election, it’s possible that the next election can be between a left wing option and a right wing option.
The extreme far right is against the EU, Nato, Ukraine and democracy, all of which he is not. He’s a conservative in the more traditional sense. On the EU-level Tisza is a part of the EPP.
Well, in the sense that Orbans primary political views are “We should build a far-right nationalist dictatorship/oligarchy led by Viktor Orban”, Magyar does actually disagree with his core political views.
My dude, he’s a pro-EU hardliner who just won on a platform of wealth taxes, removing income taxes for the poor, and taking back the nation’s wealth from oligarchs to fund a better social welfare state.
Wow that sounds amazing, from what I’ve heard he was pretty far right. Best hopes for Hungary that this really pans out as a major improvement over Orban.

Thanks, I was also just informed that he favors wealth tax and lower taxes for the poor. That sounds more left/center than far right.
Afaik he didn’t leave Fidezs because he didn’t agree with Orbans political views though.

He needed to present as ideologically the same as Fidesz in order to avoid the election turning into an idpol clusterfuck.

GG Hungary!
Yes this will do a lot to restore normal relations between Hungary and EU, which will benefit both a lot.
