Now are Hungary’s liberals fighting back, reforming the system, and undoing the damage that Orban has caused?
Seems to me like Hungary is following the meme perfectly. TISZA is going to do some tepid, pro-democracy, center-right reforms. Over time the voting public will become disillusioned with the lack of progress, then you’re just one economic crisis away from electing the next Orban.
You say “Hungary has evolved its political stance only slightly, as evolution does, and any abrupt ideological change would cause it to sway back ; so I’m cautiously okay with the strong incremental improvement” a little weird.
I’m also implicity asking the question- “Will Magyar’s TISZS party follow the same rightward trajectory as Orban’s Fidesz, why or why not?”
It seems to me that the similarities between 1990’s Fidesz and current-day TISZS are significant, but I do not claim to be an expert in Hungarian politics.
We literally just kicked Orban out of Hungary by voting
And elected a person further to the right, great job!!
Lol, definitely nit further to the right and is also cutting funding for the international right

Constitutional reform is on the menu

Nothing else in the article mentions constitutional reform

Well that’s only half of what I’m saying.
