    There was plenty of electoral fuckery. It just turned out Brussels was much better at doing electoral fuckery than Orban was. I mean the sheer amount of EU funded media weaponized against Orban was crazy. Plus the economic warfare they waged against his government by cutting Hungary’s EU funds. Obviously the project of toppling Hungary’s government and replacing it with one more submissive to the EU was long ongoing and they invested a lot of resources in it. Not surprising they succeeded.

      Real uneducated hours who up?

      The EU finally cut the funds after the government couldn’t stop breaking EU law and misapropriating funds. That’s not economic warfare. Don’t fall for right wing propaganda.

        There is always some justification offered, but you would have to be naive to believe that it was not motivated by the fact that Orban was a thorn in Brussels’ side on the topic of Ukraine. It’s not right wing propaganda that the EU has wanted to get rid of him for a long time now. Plenty of EU governments do shady things with EU funds and Brussels doesn’t go after them that hard. Let’s not pretend like the EU is just some sort of neutral and virtuous policeman here.
