The Hungarian prime minister concedes to Péter Magyar, who is set to win a supermajority in the 199-seat parliament.
Finally! Congratulations to the Hungarian voters who voted against the fucking Russian and MAGA stooge. Welcome back to the EU!
as a Hungarian I’m over the moon 🎆🎆🎆
His last name is Magyar?
His last name is basically “Hungarian” lol
Hi, I’m Dave American, and I’m running for President.
That would be enough for some voters
This post has been on the top of my home feed all day and it brought a smile to my face every time I opened Lemmy lol
he even conceded:
In a surprisingly early and gracious concession speech in Budapest, Mr. Orban congratulated the opposition saying, “The responsibility and opportunity to govern were not given to us.” But, he also made a vow: “We are not giving up. Never, never, never.”
I was very unsure that Orban hadn’t rigged the election, and Hungary would become like Belarus.
I am so relieved to see that democracy worked in Hungary, despite Orban controlling most of the media.He controls the media in Hungary, but foreign media showed Trump, Putin and Netanyahu supporting him and suddenly everybody realised he sucks and shouldn’t be trusted.
I bet they were rigged, just not enough.
He sent meat and wine packages to people to buy their votes, control the media and more. Sure is a big relief 😮💨
Been thinking a lot about the, “you can’t vote your way out if this,” doomer leftists today.
Explain how to vote out the elements that brought Orban to power. You can’t. They’ll continue to exist under the new regime and do whatever they can to undermine. Also, Musk can meddle whenever he feels it is beneficial to him. Can’t vote him out either.
So “voting is irrelevant”, the (less than) two-day-old account implies
Seriously, can we have a “cool-down” period, between registering an account and posting a comment? It’s not a perfect solution, but fuck… it might make shit like this less persistent. One should at least have to work/lurk for it; my fucking god these divisive comments from brand new accounts are pathetic
Thanks for illustrating my point! 🤡
That statement doesn’t really work here… fucking bots
Oh, you think I’m a bot. How amusing! More illustration of my point exactly. I am confounded how you Americane let yourselves cede discernment for material wealth but hey… don’t listen to me. I’m just a bot.
Hey ‘just a bot’
What’s the point that you say I’m illustrating? Honestly? I have ignorance that I strive to eliminate; What am I missing that you’re trying to say?
I claimed your <2 day old account is advocating the “pointless-ness of voting”, and being divisive (about people electing a 16 year power out of office). You said my comment “illustrated your point”, and ended your comment with a clown emoji (insinuating I’m a clown… for???)
What is your point that I illustrated? ELI5
tl;dr
I’m going to go put my cock in a meat grinder now, but just in case you forget between the punctuation, American culture is a malignant cancer and it’s the reason TRUMP IS YOUR KING HOW. You continuing to reply with proves my point. It’s the most goddamn American thing you could do, aside from act befuddled and innocent, also an American parlor trick that doesn’t work anymore. You people just have to be the period on every sentence and assert your will rather than take an L or consider your “point of view” is wayward from global consensus. The uselessness of trying to vote cancer out should be well obvious. But as expected, the naivety reigns in Jesuland. Have fun with your “protest$” and shit. Let me know when you start building an actual coalition like Canada did right before they set fire to the White House.
JD Vance is useful. Please let him run against AOC. Now we have a woman president!
Stop with the identity politics. AOC should run because she is qualified not because we need to check a box off.
@Sunforged
Nah, fuck that. On top of being qualified she brings a woman’s view on issues, and that is much needed.
@devolutionI don’t disagree, but making it the central talking point has been proven to be a failed tactic. We can keep making the same mistakes and die or adapt and improve.
My comment is only trying to help avoid the former.
I see many “but he is also far right” comments. Peter Magyar might be on the right side of the scale, but he did not base his program on far right rhetoric at all. Its also impressive how many world class experts Magyar got for his party for major ministry roles. Many businessman and leaders from other sectors. Its a bit similar to the ruling change after the communism ended in Hungary, when instead of politicians, scientists, recognized intellectuals and experts got the ministry roles.
They seems to want to focus on repairing the damage, what Orbans gang caused, getting back all the EU funds and building up basic systems, like education and healthcare from scratch.
I’m part Hungarian and did not have a right to vote, but followed closely the whole thing and it might not look like it, but its a huuuge thing. All my Hungarian friends/colleagues are celebrating, after all they got rid of a cancerous tumor.
Thanks J.D. 😄
I know little enough about the guy, but if he was approved by Donnie I presume he was horrible.
He visits, the old pope dies. He visits, your entire political party is marginalized. Frankly if I were a world leader I’d want to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
Actually, as just a regular Joe I’d * also * like to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
Wow, JD Vance did something good!
/s While I am in the US, I recognize he was not the reason of Orbán’s loss. Not that US-centered. Just making a dumb joke.
I hope this is a true turning point, but Magyar is still fairly conservative himself, so I won’t be too optimistic.
Anything is better then having that russian puppet being able to veto in the EU. Apparently Magyar is more EU aligned, but we will see how much of that is true.
