Unkarin vaalitulos näyttää ensimmäiseltä hyvältä asialta kansainvälisessä politiikassa pitkään aikaan. Ehkä jälkikäteen tämä voi olla se hetki jossa kaikki alkoi kääntyä parempaan. Nyt on ainakin Euroopan unionilla sen tilaisuus ottaa johtajuutta maailman suunnasta.











Lots of weird takes on the Hungarian election result from both left and right here. Peter Magyar is a socially conservative immigration restrictionist who wants to cut taxes and double the defence budget. He criticized Orban for admitting too many guest workers, and wants to increase Hungary's already generous pro-natal incentives. On virtually every issue, his platform is well to the right of centre, by European standards. His foreign policy is to end Orban's alliance with Putin, remove the Hungarian veto on EU loans to Ukraine, normalize relations with the European Union while opposing more Euro integration, and strengthen relations with Eastern Europe's anti-Russian governments, e.g. Poland. His election was not a sudden shift to the left, but a rejection of Orban's corruption, the failure of his interventionist / statist economic policies, and the humiliation of his relationship with Putin.











Unpopular Fact: The Right is more diverse than the Left.
