We don't seem to see the results of that yet, which indicates that the level of investment we had were ridiculously low for the level of risk.

European politicians should have to answer for their past mismanagement, in particular that which enriched the Kremlin to the point of a russian #war against Europe funded by Europe.

And the corruption continues: #Belgium, #Hungary, #Slovakia, #Spain, and other countries in the EU where russian corruption runs deep and corrodes action.

Was anyone else WATCHING the World Cup qualifiers?

I just saw #Ireland defeat #Hungary in the last minute of stoppage time, after tying the match with 10 minutes in regulation.

#TroyParrott surely had the game of his life.

U.S. President Donald Trump granted Hungary an exemption from sanctions on purchases of Russian oil, providing a major win for Prime Minister Viktor Orban. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/08/world/politics/trump-hungary-orban-oil/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #hungary #viktororban #oil #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar

Could anyone from #Hungary tell me if there is a particular speech from Viktor Orbán, I could read online, where he names his enemies or scapegoats?

Hitler had many speeches where he specifically pointed to the Jews as enemies, and tried to convince Germans that if they got rid of the Jews, everything would be better — an obvious lie of course.

I would like to see if Orbán mostly points to "EU bureaucrats" or "globalists", or something else. Are any Orbán speeches remarkable in this regard?

Missed our latest article about how #Orbán made #Hungary Putin’s closest ally in the #EU and what that means for #Ukraine? Read it via the link.

#HUNGARY SEEKS TO FORM AN ANTI-UKRAINE BLOC: Hungary is looking to create a Ukraine-sceptic alliance with Czechia and Slovakia, Viktor Orbán’s advisor said. These countries are calling for dialogue with Russia rather than economic pressure.

@Bibliothecaris

The individual chapters are almost-OA (cloudfront-walled). Case examples of #DemocraticBacksliding : #Poland + #Hungary .

The aim is to study heterogeneity in citizens' views on democracy, at a micro-level, and to relate this to citizens' responses to democratic backsliding.

The results appear to explain the paradox of apparent popular support for democracy but actual backsliding.

#Majoritarianism - majority having absolute power over minority - is one key viewpoint studied.

On October 23 1956 the #HungarianRevolution ignited

It lasted 15 days

It was crushed by #Soviet Tanks

On the anniversary Thursday, there were protests against #Orban

Peter Lakits, holding a sign reading "Russians Go Home":

“One thing we have learned from #history is that we have learned nothing from history. Sometimes the tanks that crushed #freedom in #Budapest are the very same ones that are now crushing freedom in #Ukraine"

Orban just got hit with the political equivalent of a Soviet eviction notice.

His biggest rival, currently leading in the polls, just told him “It’s over, comrade”—in Russian. You cannot script a bigger humiliation for Putin’s little Hungarian lapdog.

A massive demonstration took place in Budapest today against Viktor Orbán’s pro-Russia regime in Hungary

Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared: “The spring is here, the spring of the Hungarians, and we, together, will end Orbán’s winter.”

Woah, Péter 😍 show us the way home baby.

When Russian Vladimir Putin meets with U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest, it will be uncomfortable sight for allies of Ukraine that have sought to isolate a leader they say is a war criminal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/18/world/putin-budapest-visit-awkward/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #donaldtrump #eu #nato #hungary
