What Viktor Orbán’s Downfall Hasn’t Settled In Hungary’s election, Péter Magyar rallied urban white-collar workers, business figures excluded from state patronage networks, intellectuals, and youth. It’s much less clear that his new government ...

„What happened on April 12 deserves to be celebrated. But it is not a happy ending. It is the beginning of a different kind of struggle. It could still go wrong in ways Hungary has seen before. But for the first time in a long while, its future story is open“.

I want to reform our country because a strong Germany is a precondition for a strong Europe | Lars Klingbeil The war in Iran has exposed our dependencies. Europe, including the UK, must be bold about change, so nobody can blackmail us, says Lars Klingbeil, Germany’s finance minister and vice-chancellor

It is possible to disagree with Reiche's policies on renewables & disagree with fundamentalist opposition to nuclear energy.

That is why it is the right thing for Merz/Klingbeil coalition to have agreed on keeping Germany at the forefront of nuclear research. Germany trying to push rest of Europe out of nuclear would be threat to European energy security.

"Those who (...) fantasise about a nuclear revival are a threat to Germany’s sovereignty".

No. Opposite is true.

Mastering nuclear technology is in fact key to sovereigtny in terms of choices on energy and also defense.

"The German government is working on a reform agenda; not as an austerity programme but a sovereignty project. We need to reform Germany if we want to safeguard and enhance our European capacity to act."

This is a good framing. The one part where I disagree is on energy.

"I want Germany and Europe to be strong enough that nobody can blackmail us".

This by @larsklingbeil.bsky.social is exactly the right understanding of European sovereignty. The sovereignty to make choices and not be blackmailed.

Und Magyars Wahl zeigt sicherlich nicht, dass der migrationsskeptische Kurs abgewählt wurde. Magyar wird diesen fortführen, wahrscheinlich mit weniger Kulturkampf, aber in Einzelfragen eher härter (Gastarbeiterprogramm Orbáns).

Und AfD & RN und andere können Lehren aus dem Ganzen ziehen. Er wird die Kräfte innerhalb der AfD stärken, die Nibelungentreue gegenüber MAGA & Trump für einen falschen Weg halten. Und diejenigen, die überzeugt sind, dass nicht jeder so leicht mit Kprruption durchkommt wie Trump.

Ungarn haben dies nach 16 Jahren und verschiedenen Versuchen, Orbán beizukommen, geschafft. Die Vorstellung, dass Versuch, so AfD & Rechtsaußen durch Brandmauern in Ländern aufzuhalten in Ländern, wo sie nie regiert haben, deshalb erfolgreicher sein wird: ich glaube nicht so recht daran.

Gescheitert sind: Anbiedern an Trump/Putin & vor allem Versuch, mit immer neuen Kulturkämpfen von Korruption, Misswirtschaft & Staat als Beute abzulenken.

Das ist kein Stopp-Signal
an Afd & Rechtsaußen in Europa. Jedes Land ist auf eigener Zeitleiste. Das kam nach 16 Jahren Rechtsaussenherrschaft.

16 years.
So many friends of mine have fought for a long time for this this to happen against the odds. They failed, learned and kept the faith. Quite a few left Hungary. Today, they finally succeeded. Congratulations.

The process of reconciliation & de-Orbanification can start.

"Verantwortungslos“ sei ihr Auftritt gewesen. „Frau Reiche scheint der Verantwortung dieses Amtes nicht gewachsen“.

Diese Aussage kommt nicht aus der SPD-Fraktion oder aus der Opposition.

Sondern von einem Unions-Abgeordneten.

"Diese dogmatische Ansage, Freihandel sei zu jeder Zeit, in jedem Sektor, mit jedem Land immer gesetzt, ist falsch. Mit China muss man an die Grenzen dieses Paradigmas gehen".

Es tut sich was.
Und das ist gut so.

German and European politicians and businesswomen these days often return from China trips wowed by advances in robotics. Rarely do they come back and say "Wow. These guys are taking energy security, economic security & supply chains seriously. So should we". But they should.

One example is using more coal and less oil for making petrochemicals, using German technology used during WW II.
And investing in new processes using electricity.

This Is Not China’s War, but Beijing Started Preparing for It Years Ago

The Trump-Netanyahu war vindicates Xi. The investments in energy security and broader economic security to steel China for war with the US were necessary -- and are already paying dividends.
