“Either everything will change for the better, or we’ll be fired”— how those in Fidesz’s hinterland feel about the election.

Grim-faced middle managers, ministry employees hoping for jobs at NER-affiliated companies, sudden turncoats and hopes of a freer atmosphere – in the wake of Hungary’s recent election, uncertainty reigns in both the civil service and at state-owned companies.

Dependency Is the System: What Hungary Teaches Us About Basic Income and Democracy - UBIE - Unconditional Basic Income Europe

The fall of Viktor Orbán’s government in Hungary raises a question the celebrations have obscured: why did dismantling such a corrupt and inhuman system take sixteen years? The answer lies less in ideology than in the architecture of economic dependency the regime deliberately built. Drawing on the investigative documentary The Price of the Vote and […]

Der #Asbestskandal in #Österreich weitet sich aus. Zertifikate waren falsch, immer mehr sind betroffen. Das Interesse der Öko-Bubble: Null. Es geht ja um was "natürliches", nicht um Autos oder #klimawandel. Da lässt sich kein Geld machen. Dass der #Umweltschutz unter #Orban ernster genommen wird als in Österreich beerdigt das Image vom Umweltmusterschüler.

Trump, Poetin, Orbán & Netanyahu: Machiavelli is weer springlevend

<p>We leven in een tijd waarin brute machtspolitiek terug lijkt. Kijk alleen al naar Donald Trump, Vladimir Poetin, Viktor Orbán en Benjamin Netanyahu. Toch klopt het klassieke idee van 'de sterkste wint' maar ten dele. Wetenschap laat zien dat macht óók draait om samenwerking, legitimiteit en tegenmacht. Wetenschapsjournalist Jop de Vrieze dook in dit onderwerp en vertelt in de <a href="https://www.nporadio1.nl/programmas/goed-ingelichte-kring"><i>Goed Ingelichte Kring</i></a> over zijn artikel, dat komende week verschijnt in De Groene Amsterdammer. Waarom is Machiavelli anno 2026 weer zo relevant? En vallen mensen in onzekere tijden sneller voor autoritaire leiders?</p>

Efectele victoriei lui Peter Magyar: Mișcarea pentru o Transilvanie Mai Egală vrea să schimbe sistemul de vot prin corespondență din 🇭🇺#Ungaria după ce #UDMR a fost agentul electoral al lui Viktor #Orbán.

El análisis de #JuanRallo sobre la caída de #Orbán hizo que me partiera de la risa, ya que Rallo describió al ex primer ministro como si fuera el #HugoChávez de #Hungría. Vamos, vergüenza ajena y rigor cero. Una pena que la respuesta de #EduardoGarzón no vaya a tener ni la mitad de visualizaciones cuando él sí intenta apoyarse en datos objetivos.

Rallo se ha convertido en un antieconomista, igual que otros muchos liberales desde la vuelta de #Trump al poder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCamykZ2BuY

😤Vergonzoso: Rallo miente y manipula la realidad de Hungría 🇭🇺 para sostener su fracasada ideología❗

Orbán's inner circle didn't regroup after losing. They grabbed their money and ran. Private jets, shredded documents, assets moved to Dubai and New York before the new government could freeze them.

The people Trump 2.0 called a model just grabbed their money and ran.

Orbán’s inner circle is fleeing Hungary with assets after voters threw him out. Trump and Vance called this system a model for America.

"If a country that had its press captured, its courts packed, and its electoral maps redrawn by the man they were trying to remove could still pull it off — what exactly is our excuse? Hungary showed us the destination. The endorsement graveyard showed us the direction. The only question left is whether enough Americans are willing to do what the Hungarian people did on April 12, 2026 — show up like the outcome actually matters."
