Batthany ter where TISZA parties & surrounding streets crowded with people. Everybody under 35 years seems to be on the street. People on streets chanting, cars honk. Its like as if Hungary would have won football world championship.
Thanks to the young people making the change possible!
#Elections in #Hungary are about much more than other elections. It is about the fundamental direction of society and whether Hungarians can have confidence in themselves and regain their dignity. The younger generation will play a decisive role stephanmueller.substack.com/p/fatherless...
The next level of the dirty game. Why would anyone blow up the gas pipeline a week before the elections? It would only benefit him and not TISZA or Ukraine. Will he further escalate together with his autocrat friends?

More on Zvornik and the consequences of "ethnic cleansing" from the post-war period
if somebody is interested in the one study on "ethnic cleansing campaigns" quoted by @alexsaysstuff.bsky.social. See:
drive.google.com/file/d/1HpP-...
The study was published by the UN Commission of Experts as an exemplary study on "ethnic cleansing operations" (UN Doc. S/1994/674/add.2 (vol.I).

Two of the latest polls, from previously quite accurate pollsters, show a Tisza lead of ~20pp in Hungary.
But can the opposition really win? Why is Orban on the backfoot? And what happens after April 12?

some more info you can find here stephanmueller.substack.com/p/elections-...
it is also worh remembering that the all pollsters in 2022 totally overestimated the then opposition and underestimated Fidesz and Mi Hazánk. The opposition got 35.9%, but the pollster predicted between 41 and 47%
12 days to elections in Hungary. Majority of polls and experts expect #FIDESZ to lose and #TISZA clearly to win but the electoral system in #Hungary harbours some pitfalls that could lead to tighter results

#Elections in #Hungary. No one can predict the results. But it is almost certain that parliament will consist solely of rightwing conservatives & far-right extremists. #Roma & Hungarians living in neighbouring countries could play a decisive role. @martinawinkle14.bsky.social @florianbayer.at
Anfang März 2022 gründeten wir das @hilfsnetzwerk.bsky.social zur Unterstützung von Überlebenden der NS-Verfolgung in der Ukraine. Diese Unterstützung und der Austausch dauern bis heute an und der Bedarf ist weiterhin hoch.
Today I had the honour moderating the panel "Roma identity in wartime" at Café Kyiv. With excellent panelists @Nataliia_Tomenko, Petro Rusanienko, Izaura Dyma and Rahiela Mustafovska
This is important IMO. The $ selloff this year may have been exacerbated by liberation day tariffs on April 2, but what really kicked it off was Vance’s speech in Munich in mid-Feb followed by Merz’s early March response to increase German defense spend & can the debt brake.
Ausgerechnet die geschätzte @taz.de mit der naivsten Überschrift.

„Lifestyle-Teilzeit", das sagt ausgerechnet eine Partei, in der viele Abgeordnete ihr Mandat selbst nur in Teilzeit ausüben, weil sie nebenbei als Aufsichtsräte, Berater oder Teilhaber kassieren. Jetzt wollen sie, dass Teilzeitkräfte ihre Gründe rechtfertigen. Vielleicht fangen wir mal andersrum an.
Eine unglaublich dumme Entscheidung

Those who dismantle democracy at home, as the U.S. is doing under Trump, have no interest in other countries developing or flourishing democratically. People in #Iran, #Ukraine, #Venezuela, #Greenland and ... should be aware of this

Das könnte einer der ersten großen KI-Buchskandale im deutschsprachigen Raum sein: Mit Hilfe einer KI geschriebene Bioskizzen in Ich-Form (offenbar wurden Zitate erfunden, auch die Illustrationen machen diesen Eindruck) – bei toten Frauen komplett ausgedacht, bei lebendigen Frauen nicht abgestimmt.
Die Selbstradikalisierung ist erstaunlich. Teile des „konservativen“ Milieus haben sich offenbar von der Idee demokratischer Selbstbestimmung verabschiedet. Souveränität dient nur noch als Kulturkampfbegriff. Wenn Entscheidungen nicht passen, werden Techkonzerne und die USA als Korrektiv begrüßt.
🎄 Hungary’s “pro-family” PM Viktor Orbán called an unexpected pre-Christmas cabinet meeting and joked that the real reason was so his all-male government wouldn’t have to stay home and help with cleaning.
Someone then remarks that Orbán is speaking from a wealth of life experience... 👀
