yup. but they would have done this before the elections next year regardless. i think they can pull out 2-3 scandals from the hat at any given point in time.
Yes, their tactic is that they cover all problematic scandals with things that trigger the news. The same thing is happening in the US too. And probably in other places too that I don't know.
Nothing new. Russia has been crushing dissent in Hungary since 1956. Over half a century. Hungarians still in Hungary are already comfortable with the Kremlin suppression. Hungary has been a satellite state of Russia since 1956. They are Russians by now. Population less than Los Angeles County.
The sad part is (as a hungarian who already relocated) that many people are literally left in the dark, almost all countryside. Even smart people I know have only access to disinformation, this is how fidesz is still elected.. It is not democracy, Hungary is sinking again…
Yes, boot us out of the eu and leave us normal people who've been voting and protesting against this asshole for a decade even more vulnerable to his every whim. /s
Terrible idea, and one that would make Putin pretty happy. That way we would have lost Poland as well, glad we didn't. Just sanction Hungary financially & take away voting rights. They'll change their ways asap.
