Fortunately Hungarians are by high margin pro EU. But Orban had many years to change all sorts of policies to favour him in elections. He basically owns Hungary’s media landscape, gerrymandered election districts, suppressed visibility of opposition where possible and I don’t know what not. So even if the situation looks dire for him I am not confident that he will loose the election. One can only hope that Hungarians, with vast majority, vote for someone else than he.


It is also an enormous chance for Europe to establish strong ties in the middle east. Europe could profit massively from stability in the area. And obviously the same is true for the middle east. It remains to be seen whether European politicians are cunning enough to pull this of. It seems unlikely though.
