The funny things is that despite all the nationalistic rhetoric, Orbán would rather build relations with Fico because they're both pro-Russia than the Hungarian minority parties.
It’s not about pro Russia. It’s about being pro corruption and oligarchy.
More often than not, that's the same thing.
Yeah, that's what I think, too. Orbán seems to jump from far left to far right rhetoric depending on which voter block he wants to pander to, just to stay in power.
I don't think most controversial things that he pushes matters to him as much as power and money, the only thing that I think he's really passionate about is fixing our demographic issues.
