I see many “but he is also far right” comments.
Peter Magyar might be on the right side of the scale, but he did not base his program on far right rhetoric at all. Its also impressive how many world class experts Magyar got for his party for major ministry roles. Many businessman and leaders from other sectors. Its a bit similar to the ruling change after the communism ended in Hungary, when instead of politicians, scientists, recognized intellectuals and experts got the ministry roles.
They seems to want to focus on repairing the damage, what Orbans gang caused, getting back all the EU funds and building up basic systems, like education and healthcare from scratch.
I’m part Hungarian and did not have a right to vote, but followed closely the whole thing and it might not look like it, but its a huuuge thing. All my Hungarian friends/colleagues are celebrating, after all they got rid of a cancerous tumor.
I’m not aware of the finer details of Magyars platform - What are his plans for all the Orban supporting public servants / judges etc.?
It sounds like root and branch reforms are incoming. It could be a great template for… certain other nations.
Pretty much he promised to get rid of everyone who was an active member of the corrupt system. Also he plans to destroy all propaganda media, and wants to go after the oligarchs as well.
Its a lot and we will se how much he manages to fulfill of the promises, but if they manage to achieve only fractions of it, Hungary will be already a better place.
It’s also interesting to note that Orban didn’t used to be far right. He was sort of moderate and even on the scholarship program of George Soros back in the day.
The west supported Navalny, an ultra-nationalist literally shooting muslims in a video and calling them cockroaches, fully in favor of invading ukraine for creating a great empire.
What matters is anti-Putin in this case.
We support anyone willing to be our puppet, as shown recently when they whitewashed the headchopper Jolani.
Put him in a suit, cut his terrorist beard and now he gets the red carpet treatment.

How did Hungarians get there first place? (to elect Orban)

During his victory speech yesterday he called on them to resign immediately. He also said there would be no mercy only accountability.

I hope that Magyar follows post-far right Poland on dismantling the far right loyalist media and judges.
