Conservative by European standards. Some of his policies would be called radical socialism in the US.
Most of policies actually lol. Here hes a conservative right winger but in the usa he would count as a radical liberal communist at this point.
That's interesting. Which policies would you be referring to?
Things like term limits, independent media, independent judiciary.
Gotcha, so he's more of an institutionalist.
I'm not in favor of autocrats so I agree it's a win that Orban is gone. From an american perspective, I'd still consider him conservative even if his objectives are to strengthen institutions.
My response was more subtly tongue in cheek. He's absolutely an institutional reformer, and he has his work cut out for him so much that it would be shocking if he had the political space to do anything but that during his term.
I was poking fun at how even letting the judiciary do their jobs in the US seems to be accompanied with screeching about "RADICAL LEFTIST JUDGES", media capture in the US with the FTC, and Trump's repeated floating about removing term limits to stay in power (which also, incidentally, are the things that Tisza is focusing on fixing in Hungary).
The thing is, the stuff the other commenter was pointing at is the status quo atm. It's not so much that he's for those things, he just doesn't want to rock the boat while he has so much to do already.
Higher taxes for the wealthy to fund social programs, universal healthcare, parental leave, increased minimum wages and worker protection to name a few things.
Okay this is different from another reply I responded to. Those things sound radically more left leaning than him simply being an institutionalist.
Big if he could get this done, I hope he can.
