Hope Vance comes to Spain to endorse Feijoo (right) and Abascal (extreme right) too. Everytime he endorses someone, this one loses!

Wishing for him to come to Sweden and visit our Sweden Democrats.
He could go in a tour around Europe, and start hugging alt right wingers!!!
to be fair they seem to be doing a pretty decent job of getting themselves into jail and ousted from the party
yeah the "one bad apple" party just keeps producing single bad apples

Finally! Congratulations to the Hungarian voters who voted against the fucking Russian and MAGA stooge. Welcome back to the EU!
as a Hungarian I'm over the moon 🎆🎆🎆
as non-Hungarians we're also over the moon 🎆 🎆 🎆
I see many "but he is also far right" comments. Peter Magyar might be on the right side of the scale, but he did not base his program on far right rhetoric at all. Its also impressive how many world class experts Magyar got for his party for major ministry roles. Many businessman and leaders from other sectors. Its a bit similar to the ruling change after the communism ended in Hungary, when instead of politicians, scientists, recognized intellectuals and experts got the ministry roles.
They seems to want to focus on repairing the damage, what Orbans gang caused, getting back all the EU funds and building up basic systems, like education and healthcare from scratch.
I'm part Hungarian and did not have a right to vote, but followed closely the whole thing and it might not look like it, but its a huuuge thing. All my Hungarian friends/colleagues are celebrating, after all they got rid of a cancerous tumor.
i'm assuming he'll just end up being a pretty average european moderate, i.e. absolutely miserable but at least capable of saying (and maybe even believing) the words "killing our own citizens is bad, actually"
Similar to how Zelenskyy's politics are objectively not particularly astounding, but contrasted with the invasion by russia he looks like a holy saint
I'm not aware of the finer details of Magyars platform - What are his plans for all the Orban supporting public servants / judges etc.?
It sounds like root and branch reforms are incoming. It could be a great template for... certain other nations.
Pretty much he promised to get rid of everyone who was an active member of the corrupt system. Also he plans to destroy all propaganda media, and wants to go after the oligarchs as well.
Its a lot and we will se how much he manages to fulfill of the promises, but if they manage to achieve only fractions of it, Hungary will be already a better place.
During his victory speech yesterday he called on them to resign immediately. He also said there would be no mercy only accountability.
I hope that Magyar follows post-far right Poland on dismantling the far right loyalist media and judges.
I see many "but he is also far right" comments.
It's also interesting to note that Orban didn't used to be far right. He was sort of moderate and even on the scholarship program of George Soros back in the day.

Great!
But let's not rest on our laurels.
The next step is getting green and social democratic candidates that will garner attention and excite voters, and have a chance to do a good job that will show people that they need to vote in their best interest and those who will defend them.
Conservative liberals are way better than dictators, particularly when they like to sprinkle social policies like taxing the wealthiest more and using the revenue for public services, but they also tend to do stuff that lets things ratchet back to oligarchy.
We also should get the UK to turn back, and Poland, Italy and others to wake up too. And many are still in the edge.
I know! Let's get Vance to do a tour through Europe! Having him endorse all the people he likes the most! That'll show the people who they can't trust.

Lovely work! So much appeal!
Oh and the lady character and the goose are cute too! :p
This post has been on the top of my home feed all day and it brought a smile to my face every time I opened Lemmy lol
Most important: it's even a 2/3 majority. Without that, Orban could have still blocked most of the changes. Now, he cannot.
One fascist less. Congratulations to Hungary!
Hopefully they will be able to fund Ukraine now and kick Russia the fuck out of Europe.

After Trumps election it is good to see, that democracy still can do good for the people
This does give me a small sliver of hope.
Ah, what's that? The taste of authoritanism tumbling down? Can you hear the pitchforks yet?
Glad to hear this good news.
But also, Politico is a shit rag. Don't link to them.
Man its really hard to enjoy good news these days when you know the grim reality of your own country's future... and what could have been.
