All eyes on Hungary today. It would be great to see an end to Orbán, a right-wing authoritarian populist who has really been difficult for the EU (and Ukraine). A victory for Magyar won't automatically mean a reset to pluralism & democracy given how deeply Orban has changed institutions. But it will still send a strong signal to his authoritarian friends around the world. #Hungary #EU #Orban #Magyar #Ukraine

Yes being a single voice against war in EU has definitely become a major problem.
How is the #German #French war industry expected to show development when #EU members have their individual agenda?

#EU means pay tax to subsidize multinational industries, banks, and war machine producers.

And who do those Hungarians think they are, Germany dumped tons of money to influence this election, they can't vote against it.

@Lylamehta Would be great if it ends up happening and there seems to be some reason for optimism with the turnout being good too. Unfortunately sometimes these end in disappointment even when things look promising prior to it though.
