Viktor Orban vil aldri igjen bli statsminister i Ungarn, sier Peter Magyar på den første store pressekonferansen etter seieren. Den sittende presidenten er ellers en korrupt mafia-marionette og må gå av umiddelbart, sier Magyar.
God utsikt/muligens gode utsikter på opposisjonens valgfest i Budapest
Viktor Orban holder straks sin siste valgkamptale. I dette valget i alle fall. Over anlegget spiller de Roxette: «Listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye».
Trump: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

The Norwegian police said they were investigating an explosion that damaged the U.S. Embassy in Oslo in the early hours of Sunday in what Norwegian officials called a “targeted attack.”
Tenk å være på seremoni til ære for avdøde familiemedlemmer, og så snakker presidenten om hvor glad han er i penger, at han har funnet noen bra gardiner og skal spare inn litt på dører.
God morgen from Oslo!
Norway is not only one of the EU's most like-minded partners but also an integral member of the European family and one of our closest friends.
Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well.

I do think CS Lewis was on to something when he wrote about the lure of being in the Inner Ring. (“Of all the passions, the passion for the Inner Ring is most skillful in making a man who is not yet a very bad man do very bad things”)

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.
The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.
It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become
Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?
Well said @ec.europa.eu
“The EU is an open, rules-based single market, with the sovereign right to regulate economic activity in line with our democratic values and international commitments”

Blir det en idrettsfredspris til Putin også, tro?
The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow
Så fin fredspris Trump fikk! Lurer bare på hvem sine hender som ble kuttet av for å lage den statuen?

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
Trump pardoned more than 70 people who helped him try to overturn the 2020 election—the latest in a string of pardons to people who have benefited the president.
Leser ditt DN Europa med stor interesse @sekern.bsky.social. Mtp PVV sin tilbakegang i 🇳🇱, så har både JA21 og FVD gått frem (+12, PVV -11), føler det er underkommunisert at selv om PVV gikk tilbake har ytre høyre gått frem. Som sentrumsvelger er det gledelig å se at sentrum kan lykkes i dagens 🇪🇺.
