How does Viktor Orbán get away with this politically?

Recommended Posts

?!

"Hungary has been exempted from the application of the oil price cap", the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Péter Szijjártó, announced on his official Facebook page on Saturday .

So in another words this person above is happy -> that Hungary will pay more to the Russians?. Not even in the time of Spartacus you did not see such loyal obedience or to use the correct word: slavery.

How does Viktor Orban get away with this politically? Why is the EU making concessions for this loyal obedient to Moscow?

So Hungary and Viktor Orbán get to smoke in the hallway and ban weapons transports in their country from NATO allies, and Croatia - Romania - Bulgaria, the good students have to beg to the EU to let them into the Schengen space? 

To be fair to the EU, he is investigated for other things:

  • Contrarian changed the title to How does Viktor Orbán get away with this politically?

Orban is quickly making Hungary as a member/partner in the EU increasingly irrelevant.  He thinks his swimming against the current will allow him to strong arm the EU and NATO into concessions that will help Hungary, but whatever short-term concessions his neighbors deem expedient will end up costing Hungarians much more long-term.  

Hungary is a nation of less than 10,000,000 people with a GDP smaller than Kazakhstan's.  His grandstanding will only carry him so far.

I like facts and truth. But...that's just because I have a good education and don't just follow what I'm told to follow.

,..which is why you post links from Russia Today and Al Mayadeen (Hezbollah/Syrian/Iranian funded) to support your viewpoints.  🤣

Hilarious. 

In Hungary they love the guy. The EU is crumbling.

It's about time!

You say you are a pacifist yet cheer every despot invader and the destruction of anything that unites people and supports peaceful relations between countries. You are such a phoney.

How Viktor Orban Tried To Numb 10 Million Hungarians To Putin's War Next Door:

In October, as autumn set in and Russia intensified its bombing of Ukraine's civilian power grid to torment and freeze Ukrainians into submission, the government in neighboring Hungary was mobilizing against an enemy of its own.

On billboards, columns, and fliers, in the news, and on Facebook and other digital platforms, Hungarians everywhere were being blitzed with the image of a bomb stenciled with the word "sanctions" nose-diving menacingly toward the red-white-and-green Hungarian tricolor.

Not really. That's the lies they tell on the right wing radio.

From your other country: 

General Petr Pavel, pro-Western (NATO & EU) and supporter of Ukraine, is leading the polls ahead of the second round of the Czech presidential elections. He will face former Prime Minister Andrej Babis, on good terms with Viktor Orban and against the support of Kiev.

Elections are at the end of the month.

---> I have no doubt if he ends up winning, your side will say the elections are fake. 😄

I don't listen to right wing radio. Do you?

I know about the Czech elections. So what? I mean...the Czechs also elected Havel.

I do however, listen to my own senses.

Of course, you will have the other side in high numbers, the electorate in Czech Republic is split ideologically when it comes to NATO, however this is why we have elections.

As you say, the Czech people will decide, the polls open on Friday. I am not even sure if the other man wins, he will even start a proceeding to break from NATO, that is just the messaging he sends out to get votes. 

Let's hope we won't have scenes like in Brazil if one side can't handle their politics and they riot like in a sports game. 

because it always ends up here:

I doubt the Bohemians have it in them to riot but...

I would think as this opposition grows, the protests will get bigger and louder. Even with the media trying to belittle, ignore and accuse, it appears about half the population now would like to reevaluate the EU and NATO.

No, that's not right. As a proud Hungarian with a Hungarian national and cultural identity, Péter Szijjártó was happy that his country and people would get cheaper and sufficient oil and gas from Russia than from an American oligarchs. Unlike some quasi-nations without cultural and national identity, which are destined to be someone's puppets.
