Zouden er nog rechtspopulisten in Europa zijn die met JD Vance op het podium durven te staan na dit debacle?
Cartoon by GĂĄbor PĂĄpai, a well-known Hungarian political cartoonist.
Orban called Magyar to congratulate Magyar - and admitted defeat to his supporters. It's over. Peter Magyar and his Tisza Party wins with such an overwhelming victory that he has two-thirds of the seats in the parliament and can undo Orban's autocratic legalism!
Just sent this out. Yesterday was an important and truthful day. The Ukrainians, including Zelensky and Budanov, came out and spoke truthfully about the US being with Russia (and therefore Trump being with Putin). open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
Orban heeft in december een geheim samenwerkingsverdrag met Rusland gesloten, waarbij Hongarije het bruggenhoofd voor de Russische rentree in Europa kan worden. Politico onthult het 12-puntenakkoord.

Etwas Hoffnung aus Ungarn
Bei einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung der Kröte begannen die Menschen unerwartet âRuszkik hazaâ (Russen nach Hause) zu skandieren. Das ist der Slogan des Aufstands in Ungarn im Jahr 1956, der von der Sowjets brutal niedergeschlagen wurde.
âïžLibya has provided Ukraine with bases for attacks on Russian ships in the Mediterranean Sea â RFI
Following an agreement signed in October 2025, over 200 Ukrainian officers and experts have been deployed to bases in Misrata, Zawiya (near the Melita oil complex), and Tripoli airport.
Holy shit
That is exactly the question. Will OrbĂĄn hand over power if he loses? And what can he do before the election to tilt the outcome in his favor? If he loses, that would also be a blow to the Kremlin.
