The so-called “Transparency Law”, currently pending approval, significantly undermines freedom of expression in Hungary — and its impacts are unlikely stop at the country’s borders.
The real question isn’t whether Orbán will get more votes, they are very obviously in a spiral, and every month something happens that deepens that spiral.
The question at this point is whether Tisza makes a big enough fuckup in the next year, which I don’t think they will, and whether the economy recovers, which is close to impossible, or whether there will come an issue that will be a big enough distraction, bigger than the war in Ukraine.
So the real fears are either civil war, or Hungary starting a war with a neighbour just to emulate Netanyahu. Please support Ukraine, because if you don’t, it is a proven fact that Hungary would have already attacked it.
We’re not done yet. The next election is going to be decisive, Orbán is very likely to lose it, so it’s either hard dictatorship or a regime change.
Fingers crossed. 🤞
