After Trumps election it is good to see, that democracy still can do good for the people
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 🎆 🎆 🎆
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
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
Hope Vance comes to Spain to endorse Feijoo (right) and Abascal (extreme right) too. Everytime he endorses someone, this one loses!
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.
Channel your inner pissed off hungarian and swarm that ballot box
Couldn't stuff the ballot boxes fast enough, eh?
As I understand, Hungarian elections were voted as "free, but not fair" by observers.
I.e the ballots would get counted properly, but Orban's gerrymandered it into oblivion, most media belongs to Orban's friends, etc. The winning party had every possible disadvantage short of Fidesz actually messing with the ballots themselves.
decent chance this was a mass coalition of popular support to oust a dictator large enough that the dictator understood it was concede gracefully or be drug from the palace by his ankles and then hung publically
Hopefully they will be able to fund Ukraine now and kick Russia the fuck out of Europe.
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.
How did Hungarians get there first place? (to elect Orban)
