Dear friends in #Hungary that vote tomorrow: Send Orbán and his cronies to Moscow or Washington or even better to the court in The Hague with your vote. You have been gaslighted for too long. Do the right thing. Vote for your people. As part of the European family. We are ready to help. We want to help.
Thank you and congratulations, people of Hungary. You did it. You voted Orbán out. This is amazing. With a voter turnout of almost 80%. Wow.

@jwildeboer I just wonder if Peter Magyar will be better or not. I'm happy Victor Orban lost, and Magyar will likely do some improvements to get EU fundings to Hungary. But he has avoided commenting on Ukraine topics, he represents a conservative right aligned party, and was a former Orban supporter and Fidesz member.

It's a step in the right direction, for sure. But I dunno how long that step is in reality.

@dazo @jwildeboer indeed, it seems the most important thing here was to show that some change is possible after all.. now, hopefully, in the next elections there are already a bit more nuanced distribution of parties as this election was simply to prevent Hungary from going into one party system.

@huopa exactly. Now people will realize that they can change stuff and Peter Magyar knows this. They'll have to pay more attention to the people that elected them this way.

@dazo @jwildeboer

@jwildeboer Will he be jailed tomorrow? Hope so.
@jwildeboer it's important to understand that this post will be read by exactly 0 fidesz voters. If I show it to one we'll both become enemies of the state in their eyes.
@buherator I am fully aware of that. My hope is it reaches at least a few of those that are unsure if they should go to the ballot at all tomorrow. I hope it encourages them to go and vote pro Europe.
@jwildeboer
What makes you think we want Orban in Washington? We'd rather have him and all his friends in the Hague!

@draken

This denizen of Den Haag will be HAPPY to host Orban, Putin, the Nameless Squatter at Number 1600, and Bibi in Belgisch Park for long enough to get them tried... And then perhaps our French fellows would consent to host them on Elba? As is tradition for tyrants...

@jwildeboer

@jwildeboer "vote for your people". Well said Jan!
