Thanks, but I have to emphasize that we are very early into Peter's reign, and the inner politics of his party are extremely turbulent at the moment. But this is what makes it so fun for me to cover.
In my circle we call him the Magyar Zelensky. A narcissistic psychopath. A conman flip flopping between lies and insults.
Suffice to look at his professional (and personal) track record, none of which is good, to anticipate his politics. 9 years in BXL, hardly ever showed up, just like in all his positions in Hungary.
He is total no name; no professional achievement whatsoever, in politics OR otherwise.
But because of (or thanks to) his personality traits, he’s easily corruptible, and thus the perfect candidate for the globalist psychopaths or if you want a PC term the central planners.
There is a good article in the Grayzone about the (s)election. You might want to look it up. If you don’t find it, I’ll post it later.
The interview with his ex wife, Varga Judit, a couple years ago, is also worth of attention as it shows you his personality traits/disturbances.
I'm well aware of the lore, but as a veteran of the first Trump campaign, I reserve my judgement. (This is also my general advice.)
Orban used to beat his wife to the point that she had to be hospitalized. He would also check into an Austrian private insane asylum, regularly. A taxi driver told me in Budapest.
Hungarian sources are often wrong about Hungarian politics. Foreign sources are always wrong. I will post what I do know for certain in the coming weeks.
Also AMA in the comments, to workshop future posts. It's a huge topic, a post-mortem of a 16 year long, Merkel-like hegemony.
My relatives in Veszprem area are still withholding judgement. My cousins don't trust Tisza or Peter Magyar. I understand where they are coming from.
That's the wise position.
Good to have you back and I totally agree with your assessment!

I promise to be 100% honest and 0% hysterical.
