    I’m reading a lot of “no progress at all” headlines by many analist: Magyar’s party is a spin-off Orban’s, they are still is pro-zionist, pro-war, right-leaning party with no regard for the rights of feminists or the LGBTI community. The only interesting “change” is that it aligns with Von Der Leyen-Kallas views, and thats why mainstream media is foaming at the mouth with it.

      Baby steps.

      They are out of the Kremlins influence and will lean into EU values, which is a huge deal IMO. Autocratic vs Democratic.

      He’s better for multinational businesses and that’s what media cares about mostly. It’s good Hungarians realigned with EU however, being independent usually means being played by everyone. We’ll see who else sold out to Russians now too, it only takes one to veto so no need to show yourself before.
