It’s fascinating to discover that Alice Weidel (🇩🇪 AfD) and Yanis Varoufakis ( 🇬🇷 socialist) share exactly the same emphatic view on #Putin 🤷

"As a major networking event and ideological trendsetter for the radical right in the United States, CPAC has been instrumental in celebrating Orbán’s Hungary as the center of the effort to destroy the liberal democracy of the United States and Europe in order to replace it with what Orbán called 'illiberal democracy,' or 'Christian democracy.'”

"On April 12, the day of Hungary’s parliamentary elections, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) posted on social media that it was closely watching the election and stood firmly behind Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

"His system replaced the multiculturalism at the heart of democracy with Christian culture, stopped the immigration that he believes undermines Hungarian culture, and rejected 'adaptable family models' in favor of 'the Christian family model.'

Today Péter Magyar, the man who will replace Orban after winning the election in a blowout, revealed that Orbán was using government money to finance CPAC."

"Orbán has clearly been working for the benefit of Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, and just days before the election, news broke that last October, Orbán told Putin, 'In any matter where I can be of assistance, I am at your service.'

So it appears that CPAC was funded by a foreign government that was working closely with Vladimir Putin."

"One major reason [Orbán] lost so overwhelmingly is that Hungarian citizens were disgusted by corruption in government, and knew about it because of investigative journalism that remained strong despite Orban’s all-out effort to control the legitimate press."

~ Margaret Sullivan

Quoting Brian Stelter:

"Analysts say that pervasive corruption in Hungary was a key factor in the fall of Orbán’s illiberal Fidesz party."

"In a speech today, Magyar told reporters that the outgoing foreign minister, who has been accused of working closely with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, was shredding confidential documents."

"Outrage about corruption, CJR’s Ivan L. Nagy wrote before the election, has a 'lot to do with the tireless work of investigative journalists.'”

"A populist autocrat who had gerrymandered the maps, captured the courts, swallowed the media, and bent the constitution into a pretzel got blown out by ten points in a country he had spent sixteen years rigging in his own favor. What he accomplushed are the things Trump, Bannon, and their fellow travelers only dreamed of in the United States."

"The U.S. right loved it. ...

The international ramifications will be huge. Among other things, Orbán was an enthusiastic Putin lackey, doing all he could to sabotage European aid to Ukraine. Peter Magyar, who declared in his victory speech that 'our country’s place is in Europe,' will presumably end the obstructionism."

"After Victor Orbán’s Fidesz party took power in 2010, Hungary became a role model for those who admired corruption, fascism, and loyalty to Vladimir Putin. Orbán’s regime brought widespread crony capitalism, captured Hungarian media outlets, and installed corrupt judges. He actively undermined solidarity within the European Union and worked to block aid to Ukraine. Sound familiar?"

"And we’ve had yet another confirmation that Trump is Midas in reverse: Everything he touches turns to, well, something other than gold."

"Trump’s promise to voters that he would lower prices, along with his crusade against immigrants, attacks on education and the courts, and vow to resurrect a patriarchy in which white Christian men would dominate women and people of color, was closely patterned on the 'illiberal democracy' of Viktor Orbán in Hungary."

"The defeat of Viktor Orbán is a big, big deal. He’s not only a core symbol of the global authoritarian movement. His regime was also its laboratory, its rallying point and a source of funding, a location to operate from. ... This is a big and consequential defeat for global Team Strongman."

"MAGA Republicans embraced Orbán as the leader of a movement to replace democracy with an authoritarianism that empowered the far right."

"This is a serious loss for Trump (and his Orbán-loving henchman, JD Vance) who pushed hard to keep the Hungarian strongman in power—including full-throated endorsements, visits to Budapest, invitations to Mar-a-Lago and even a last-day promise/bribe by Trump to 'use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s economy.'"

"Orbán was not merely a foreign leader. He was a model — held up at CPAC, celebrated by Tucker Carlson, visited by JD Vance days before this election. His brand of 'illiberal democracy' had admirers in Washington who argued it represented the future of conservative governance. Hungarian voters, with record turnout and a two-to-one margin, disagreed. The EU’s most disruptive internal actor is now gone."

"They not only learned that Hungarians rejected their corrupt illiberalism, but also that they did not have the power to swing a foreign election for a despised authoritarian."

"Adding to the schadenfreude, Vice President JD Vance actually traveled to Hungary and campaigned for Orban. 'What the United States and Hungary represent under Viktor’s leadership and under President Trump’s leadership is the defense of Western civilization,' Vance declared at one rally."
