Good ole CBC

Hungary’s election could usher in a new government and redefine the country’s relations beyond its border | CBC News

Viktor Orbán has spent the last 16 years building an 'illiberal' state in Hungary. Endorsed by MAGA, but penalized by the European Union for democratic backsliding, polls suggest Orbán's Fidesz party will lose Sunday's election to centre-right, pro-EU Tisza party, led by former Orbán loyalist...

Goods news for Ukraine: election results in Hungary look very promising. Times are over of Hungary blocking help/rusian sanctions. With about 40% of votes counted it looks like a clear opposition win, even scratching the 2/3rd majority. Let's hope ist stays in this direction and does not get falsified in any way. Foreign Hungarian's vote may be a bit differrent though.

Orban and his cronies probably start to scratch all their money, gold and other valuables together for an evacuation flight to Moscow.

I wonder if Ukraine's seized cash shipment will "disappear" now, too.

I expect it has already disappeared, funneled to his oligarch friends or hidden in some offshore bank account

Interesting ....

That may be older than the aircraft the Russians are reactivating as a result of their war in Ukraine.

It wasn't advertised at the time, but I think I am right in saying that when the US attacked the Iranian nuclear stockpile last year some of the tankers were RAF. The US tanker force has always been stretched as it isn't the 'sexiest' aircraft for spend authorisation.

97.74% of votes counted, 138 vs 55 vs 6 seats with 133 seats being 2/3rd majority (93 vs 13 directly elected seats won!). Time to cleanup the mess and cronies of Orban's time.

I'm really praying for good things from the new government

 

[Glider]

I must admit that I was really fearful that he would contest the results and try to use force and a legal smokescreen to hold onto power. There are times when its good to be wrong.

Full marks to the people.

 

[Denniss]

He would have verily likely done this in a closer race. But no chance with the numbers so much in his disfavor.

I forgot about that.
