This is pretty crazy and I'm not sure if #Orban can even do anything, legal ot illegal, at this point.
In just six months, #Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar’s #TISZA party has surged to a 14-point lead over Orbán’s #Fidesz, per the reliable 21 Research Center pollster—putting TISZA on the brink of a two-thirds majority in parliament.
Next election is in April 2026.
Jewish #genealogy ppl, do you ever come across cases of #Hungarian Jewish historical ppl only ever being marked as #Magyar in the census? A bunch of musicians in my research have ambiguous names, lived apparently secular lives in America & buried in multifaith cemeteries ...
I'm just trying to figure out the relationships and backgrounds of a bunch of old cimbalom players from NY .. a fairly niche business consisting of Roma & Jewish Hungarians, a few Romanian Jews & Greeks.

It is high time #Hungary stopped behaving like a #Russian puppet or it was suspended with its rights within the #EU. #Europe must finally be brave enough to say NO to #Putin ’s #propaganda and #Hungarian obstruction of further #European integration. We live in a dangerous world. We must stay #united, because we are #strongerTogether and #TogetherWeStandDividedWeFall.
We must establish one, united, coordinated #EuropeanArmy. For Europe. For my and your future.#FederaliseEurope. #ViveLaEurope #USA
Hungary's Orbán, facing opposition surge, promises crackdown in speech laden with conspiracy theory https://apnews.com/article/hungary-orban-crackdown-media-ngo-38776560a2edf5948482dd4839461411
Given #Ukraine ‘s current position, the #EU cannot afford to let #Orban stymy an all out effort to defeat #Russia and roll back its invading army to international borders. The current #Hungarian govt (and it ally #Slovakia) no longer share EU values and should be ‘put on ice’ until their electorate decide where their future lies.
How can the organisation tolerate such blatant treachery? Especially since they have #Trump as an example of where Orban and #Fico are heading.
#Europe must suspend #Hungarian voting #rights as soon as possible. The #EU and the whole #freeWorld is now facing a time full of #difficulties and threats both from the outside (#Russia, #China, #USA) and inside (#Fidesz, #AfD, #Konfederacja and more). Due to that fact Europe must be #united like never before. We must speak with one voice. We must consolidate our efforts. We must create a #EuropeanArmy. We must #federaliseEurope, because there is no place for small countries in the new reality.
#Trump is now pressing for #Putin's Plan B i.e. regime change in #Ukraine.
Washington's success may resemble those of #Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the #Prague Spring (1968).
#US and #Russia both seeking to topple the Kyiv regime is the unique difference.
But Ukrainians stand by #Zelenskyy.

The #US Treasury has imposed sanctions on Antal Rogan, one of the most powerful men in #Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orban's Fidesz government and the minister in charge of his cabinet office.
"Antal Rogan is a primary architect, implementer and beneficiary of this system of corruption," read the statement, made by outgoing US Ambassador David Pressman.
