Anne ApplebaumIlliberalism is not Inevitable
Janne Moren@anneapplebaum
It is worth tempering the celebration and remember that he originally hails from the same party as Orban, and agrees with him on most social and cultural issues. He is conservative, not liberal.
Edit: to be clear his win is an unambiguously good thing.
But his party doesn't seem to significantly change the stance on same-sex marriage, minority rights and other progressive or liberal causes.
nekowinston@jannem @anneapplebaum this misses the point, conservatism does not imply illiberalism. I'll happily celebrate my neighbors striving for more European integration, less corruption, and not being a russian vassal state. Magyar's victory speech championed small-l liberal ideas as well.
