  1. The “EU plot” line is basically pre-written cope at this point. One handy thing is to bookmark a couple of reliable Hungarian outlets to compare with whatever Russian media claims later.

  2. It’s never over until it’s over. I hope people don’t decide it’s okay to not vote before the election actually happens because they think victory is assured. That can lead to tragic outcomes as the stakes are incredibly high.

    In a reuters article I read yesterday, 20% of voters are undecided still, and I saw an article yesterday or the day before where Orban was ahead in one poll.

    the world will be a better place if Orban loses, but don’t count those chickens just yet

    Wooohoo indeed, but let’s not celebrate too early.
    Orbán still controls the state apparatus, most media, and has a very convenient electoral system. Even if he’s down 10 points in polls, he might still cling on. Fingers crossed for change, but I’m staying cautious.

    It is a well-known fact that there are russian FSB agents in the country helping the current regime. Vance came here the other day to push Orbán’s campaign. This is just friendly support between allied countries, of course.

    What if they still lose because the majority of Hungarian citizens want to get rid of this scum mob? EUROPEEEANPLOOOT! BAD EU! BAD BRUSSELS! BAD UKRAINE!

    Patetic and I feel ashamed because there are Hungarians who still fall for this nonsense.

  6. Putin will just switch focus to another EU country. Just needs one to cause havoc. We need to sort this out. Either centralise more power in Europe or change the voting rules 

  7. Even this ” Orban will lose” message  is a dangerous trick. Voters might relax and think well it should be fine, THEY don’t need to go.

    God forbid the Russians ever understand what a functioning democracy looks like…..morons

  9. Well… It kinda is EU plot in the sense that the people of EU dont want backboneless putin suckers as leaders. People are actively disgusted by this man who has sold his people and the legacy to russians.

  10. Yes, a plot. To get out and vote for who you want not who the man with the money / gun wants!

    In 1956, Hungarian revolutionaries gave us the famous slogan: “Ruszkik haza!” (Russians, go home!)

    Now it is being chanted again on the streets of Budapest. It is time to go home. For good.

    The plot being that the citizens of Hungary noticed the economic decline, compared their freedom and overall state of their country, looked at counties like Poland or the Czech Republic and thought

    “fuck this, I want change!” and voted accordingly?

    That is one hell of a plot the EU is running: ensuring economic growth of member states just to undermine Orban.

    I mean even if it is true, who could blame them? Having a Russian shill undermining everything the EU try and do from the inside is a joke, of course they’d be better off without him. Just like Russia and the US are better with him in power and are doing so much to try and keep him there.

  14. I wonder how long they can hold onto Belarus

    At some point that nasty government is going to realise they are shackled to a corpse.

    With all this constant disinformation and spinning narratives bullshit that has been working so well for them for the last few years, I’m starting to get sober on reading the news. I think it made me and not an insignificant amount of people less likely to believe what they read, or even read the news at all

    An interesting side effect

  16. To browse on this website is pure horror. Full of advertisements. Destroys the whole important story

  17. I do eagerly look foward to the galaxy level shaudenfreude when Orban looses so badly he has to run off to Russia to stay free. Just need to see that Supermajority for Tisza and we know Hungary will be free of him and his partys corrupt bullshit.

  18. Hungarians need to ignore this BS and get out and vote. This is all subtle signaling that the election is all but won. Dont believe them. Get out and vote regardless.

    If the EU was any good at plotting, Bulgaria wasn’t going to elect a Russian asset. And by the current forecast by quite the margin.

    I mean hungary is part of the European Union so you should go and fuck right off mr Putin.
