Hungary's Orban and his political alliances | DW News
Hungary is a member of both the EU and NATO but the foreign policy approach of the country's prime minister, Viktor Orban, often rejects the sensibilities of these alliances. Not one serving EU leader came to Hungary in August 2023, when Prime Minister Viktor Orban celebrated Hungary's birthday. Instead, his guest list included for example: the heads of Turkey, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Qatar. What's going on in Hungary? And why does Orban have the friends that he does?

The crime stats don't lie. Poland, Hungary and other Eastern European nations made the right decision when it came to rejecting mass immigration, putting their own cultures and peoples well being first.

Of approximately 4,000 Hungarian immigrants who were in the United States at the time of the Civil War, 800 served in the Union Army, or twenty percent. “This degree of participation exceeds that of any other ethnic group in America.” There were an estimated 130 officers of the 800 Hungarians in the Union Army.

I don't agree with Orban's policy, but this is the first time I agree with Orban regarding immigration.Countries that allowed immigration to bear the consequences.

Countries signed the UN asylum treaty (including Hungary) No country is "allowing immigration" most countries work according to the treaty and their independent rule of law. Immigration is not bad per se for a country, Europe would have been bankrupt long ago as too little people are born to sustain the economies in European countries, governments walk a fine line between the population that want less immigration and companies that are screaming for more (cheap) labour. Hungary does the US-way of cheap labour, just make 1% extremely rich, and the rest of the country gets poor and is willing to work for close to nothing just to stay alive. And Orban gets his votes because the 99% of people are afraid their life will be even worse with immigrants coming to their country that will steal their jobs. ps. Would you clean toilets for a living? do you know any people who would?
One could not just stay inside eu and veto everything, do whatever he wants veto everything and ask the others to pay without questioning his violation. There are rules. You don't like it, you go.
Europe has failed time and time again to understand that money is not everything. Ideologies, fanaticism, are very powerful realities and they cannot bring themselves to deal with those effectively.
So you turn tu russia? the same russia allied with iran (where teens are killed for not covering hair) and north korea? Man, Orban is just a thief, there is nothing more to that. I hope Hungary greate people gets rid of him.
🤔 Then perhaps it's time for EU West to stop bailing out Hungary and Turkiye's failing economies with billions/yearly. Let them get help from Russia and China. As for friendship, let's see how kindly any of those lily white countries will stoop down to actually mixed breed with Chinese or African countries.
You do realize that Putin, Xi Jinping and any other dictator does it out of pure greed right? They don't believe what they spout, the only thing that matters to them is that they are in the power. They will say and do anything to keep themselves there. Orban is doing, what is he doing, because he knows that under a democracy, he would be replaced sooner or later...
You have zero understanding of Hungary if you unironically assume that the average voter for Orbán's party is anyhow politically aligned. A small portion of them really is, but the majority is just cleverly manipulated apolitical masses.
orban chases money
Whatever you said. Orban put Hungary first
Not. Orban put his clan first. They are the apex predators here, and Hungary is their own territory. Foreigner predators have to ask their permission to hunt here. Hungary is de jure democracy, de facto kingdom.
Is that the reason he's more popular than his Western collegues?@@SandorFule
Like Putin put Russia first?
at lest money aren't flying out of Hungary like in Romania@@SandorFule
Leave the EU. Then you can be the first where you want.
I know the German Chancellor Olaf and with all due respect, there is not much to talk with him about, that's also the reason he is in that position. 🤣

3:29 - Yeah, and there were no "how to prepare for freezing to death" types of demonstration films here. So it is interesting that while the criticism is sharp in terms of how low the salaries are (I would note that there are more German / English / French / American and so on owned employers in the country than Hungarian ones), they expect us to give up the cheap and reliable energy source for an unpayable (at least x 5) cost and uncertain origin. So we should to practically replace the Russian gas and oil, which reliably arrives via pipeline with an American source, which arrives from the other side of the world to ports that Hungary does not have, and pipes, which ends at the national border, because our dear western neighbors didn't really care about building the right european infrastructure for the untermensch of central Europe. And just because Putin so and so, and for the holy Ukraine, where, by the way, one year after the outbreak of the war, in the former Hungarian territories (National minority areas in Ukraine inhabited by Hungarians), statues of Hungarian origin are torn down by Ukrainians and Hungarian schools are forbidden to speak in Hungarian. It was probably the most important thing they had to do besides the war... How interesting, how interesting. Of course, the list could go on and on... and if I feel like it and have time, I'll share a few thoughts, because it is more than likely that in the west, which is full of freedom of speech, such stories are not heard by the dear audience, because such excellent channels like this somehow don't like to share...

Hungary's birthday, and Orban throws a party? Really? What a discusting way to put it. I understand that DW News hates Orbán, but please, for God's sake, don't make such discusting statements. It's a national holiday, not some party that was made by a politician for other politicians.
Cry more
@@fluidice1656 Sorry for asking DW News to give us some respect. I know you don't know this word, try to search for it on Google, you may find it helpful.
Orban leads the national government, and the national government paid for the event. It's not too far fetched to say that Orban threw a party.
Yes, it is a really low level manipulation attempt. They bend their knee for a coin.. People who does not know this 'party' can this way have an impression that Orbán has bigger power and control than he really has... But how dumb I am.. that is the goal.. (Non hungarians will never understand how much they are misslead and taken for a fool with that one sentence and the pictures of the fireworks..producers know it well)
Who made the guestlist, sent out the invitations, and made all the arrangements? Did Hungary do this without any humans?

Wut.
Hungary is flirting with Putin and the other criminal countries like BRICS…. Let Orban go ASAP from EU and NATO….
5 years ago DW was respectful. Now you have taken sides like most modern journalism. You either pay your journalist very very good wages, or your editors only allow their agenda.
It is very interesting that you create such a report without even trying to show a balanced view. Normally you would voice opponents as well as people in favour of a leadership. The way you structure videos like this shows you have a clear agenda and you are not even technically try to show any truth.
Biased "trust news outlet" at its finest
But it's true, isn't it? Orban is looking east and despices the west, except for the money. He takes the EU hostage in decision making in alliance with Poland and maybe now with Slovakia. A friend of Putin and Erdogan. We can't trust him. This can't be good for Hungary. Don't complain about a missing balanced view when Orban is just simple and clear with his statements.
Absolutely agree!
There is no truth other than Orban receives 5 times the amount that he puts on the table, and he uses his position as a member to get more and more in a sistematic way,
Try to ask something from the "fidesz" leadership :D they don't give answers, just running away.😂

For me, the Dutch elections show that people want to get rid of left-wing ideology, and maybe Orbán is on the right track to making the right choice for all countries.
The right is called right for a reason
Geert Wilders only got 21,85% of the total votes and right now, it's very unlikely, that he can form a government - which is not suprising at all. Netherlands is not Hungary, where Orban can win 2/3 majority with only 3 million votes out of 7,8 million.
@@alfoldmapping5504dicsőség a fidesznek
Dutch case is completely different, Orban is just corrupt autocrat, anti immigration and nationalist rhetorics is only a tool in his agenda to brainwash population and to stay in power. In Netherlands mass immigration has became a real problem to some extent, so it's reflected in the outcome of elections
The Dutch election showed that 75% of the Dutch people didn't want Geert Wilders
So because he's not a sheep and says his own opinion and thoughts he's now a bad guy? What the heck is wrong with everyone who says that here? Ever heard of democracy? Everyone has a right to have his own opinion about issues, and that goes for EU members.
Látod, ilyen egyszerű.

That’s what iktor orban believes too. Hungarians? Not so much…
@@mrm3800I am an outsider who studies this topic. I’m curious what are some general Hungarian views on their origins? From my genetic research the Hungarians migrated from the Urals and the Szekely are Huns as well
@@EzraBenKhazar what you've wrote is generally accepted, but there is no definite clear answer. It's still open research and there are several debated theories.
The Hungarian tribes were living at one time in the Khazar Khaganate, until they were pushed westwards. Some of the Khazar tribes joined them, so indeed, Hungarians are partly Kazakh too.
@@EzraBenKhazarHere is a hungarian view for you. The origins of the hungarian nation pretty much far from the present population composition of Hungary. The hungarian language is Finno-Ugric - so relating with Finn, Estonian and north-east European smaller folks. (Manshi, Khanti, Mordvin etc.). This is the core of the hungarian language - our basic words coming from the Finno-Ugric root. Hungarian or "Magyar " tribes moved to South of Ural and migrated to West through 500 years. During this period Hungarians met with turkish folks, and few of them melted into the hungarian tribe. The Hungarians who arrived to their present place in the 9th century weared turkic clothes, used turkic war strategy and tribunal system, turkic names. After Hungary decided to baptize to christianity, the western impact became determinative. During the 1000 years long history so many invasions, resettlements, war happened in the territory of the country, the uralic population melted into the big central european genetic pool. This mean the genetical map of present Hungary very similar to the Austrian genetical map. Present Hungarians keeping their unique culture, holding Eastern and uralic impacts (for example the pentatonic folk music), and holding a unique Hungarian spirit. Meantime the present Hungarians a descendants from slavic and german people - this visible in their outlook and characteristic. According to the DNA map, the Hungarians mostly Celtic R1b (27%), Slavic R1a (25%) and Germanic I1 (21%) and South Slavic I2a (14%). As you see 87% of the present hungarian population holding this very european genetic admixture. Orbán's himself has austrian ancestry. So you can see that in Hungary the cultural heritage and the very strong spirit survived the times, meanwhile the genes are not! This is based on the Hungarian language, as we saying "The nation living in it's language!"....
You forgot to mention the results of the national consultations in all the major issues that concern the Hungarian people. I wish other countries would follow this practice. For example, Switzerland has tradition for centuries to ask its people. Well, that's democracy. Rule of majority...
Wrong question. Should be put the other way around: What's up with European leaders? And go figure that.
lol "risking trust with our allies" 😂😂😂....which allies is that dear, do you mean our allies that sabotaged another ally's infrastructure ...aaaahh, with allies like these. Ya'll very blue pill here 🇧🇬🇭🇺. Can you blame Hungary, as for Serbia - joining the EU at this point is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic
The EU does not speak with one voice in foreign policy since there is no common mandate. There are 27 sets of member state ambassies in all countries around the world. So the EU should not expect Hungary to behave as if foreign policy is a common EU mandate.
They should never have enlarged EU to poor European countries. They should have kept the old common market. Now they have taken former eastern block countries with all their problems.
Why? Do they lack gray cells or common sense? Perhaps they are determined to blackmail UE.
@@petitben5240 ehh you think western block doesn't have problems? Islamization of France Belgium, Netherlands and Sweden, Desertization of Spain, Balkanization of Portugal, deindustrialization of Germany... every country in the EU has a major problem to solve. It's where EU must commit to aid and help to resolve those problems, and not isolate itself from the country.
Of approximately 4,000 Hungarian immigrants who were in the United States at the time of the Civil War, 800 served in the Union Army, or twenty percent. “This degree of participation exceeds that of any other ethnic group in America.” There were an estimated 130 officers of the 800 Hungarians in the Union Army.
@ZltZltt that means absolutely nothing today. It's Haitian french army trained officers who help the United States continental army defeat the British red coat. So, your history of Hungarian fighting for the union is wonderful, but do you know how many Eastern European fought with the confederacy to keep the barbaric legacy of slavery. History is sometimes extremely complicated.
So from who should Hungary buy their gas from DW? Please tell me.
You should eat beans and you will have plenty of gases. Almost for free.
2:42 Western countries have never linked conditions in one relationship (for e.g. NATO) with concessions elsewhere (e.g. EU, IMF, arms deals, etc)?
don't care much for orban, but this dw report makes me agree with some of his points, odd really. sees like that no country has a right to follow their own way. you must obey the eu way, which doesn't work.
There are basic principles on the separation of power, meant to safeguard democracy as well as some basic principles of human rights that the EU demands of it’s members. Hungary has been dancing on the gray line and increasingly stepping out of line. The EU is a club of liberal democratic countries, set up to try and prevent the kind of horrors that happened during the first and second world wars. When a member starts flirting with authoritarianism then the EU has full rights to pressure their member to comply. If the country doesn’t like it, it can leave the club. Brexit has demonstrated that no one is forced to be a member of this club if they don’t want to. It would be a shame if Hungary decides that they would prefer to be outside, but at the same time, if they keep moving further in this authoritarian direction and don’t leave the EU, I think they should be kicked out.
@@sgjonibest comment, thanks for that!
It’s not about migration. Orban selling citizenship to anyone. Nobody wants to stay in Hungary even Hungarians. Orban built a softish little Russia within the EU this is the most terrifying thing.
@@sgjoni Somehow Orban is attached to Putin, as this would be the case...in fact Hungary nad Orban did huge effort to safeguard democracy, the communist era inherited constitution was trashed, and new baselines considered. What one can see now, is clearly a political game between left and right wing in the EU. As you said, EU has left wing, Hungary elected right winged government, and since 2010, Orban is the pm again and again. But it can change, as free will election is provided really. Left wing is not so favorable to the majority in Hungary because of Gyurcsány Ferenc, who has failed as he admitted (in a closed party) they were cheating at everytimes, and in every possible ways during their reign, just to keep the power, and get more money from the system to their hands, meanwhile driving Hungary to bankruptcy....

The problem with Hungary there is no alternative on the left side which could replace Orbán. If there would be a party with left values but not supporting the migration. Hungarians want to be Hungarians in Hungary. And it seems the left side doesn’t want to understand that. I myself live in a very mixed country in England and I see this mixed cultures just doesn’t work.

I live in the UK atm. The population density, immigration and economical power are just a few factors where the UK and Hungary differences multiply. Yet the UK is more capable than Hungary in managing these factors. If you take aside you are not exactly welcomed with open arms ( you won't be anywhere as a man anyway ), and different cuisine The UK is a great place to live in. I bet there are plenty of people who feel happy that the only thing they can brag about is 1) having to prove their worth and skills 2) eat some undercooked food with no spices. out of everything that could go wrong. I am happy it's only these two and I don't really have a problem with 1st point because as a man, you got to do that anyway anywhere you live in. Nobody likes lazy slackers edit: I am from Czech Republic, not Hungary
The opposition is so corrupt, power hungry and they can't offer anything to the people. The majority of Hungarians very satisfied with their PM Viktor Orbán, they don't want to replace him, only the opposition would love that but they have no program and no vision.
It's kinda funny when you accuse Hungarian government of "interfering with public education". If there is a few sectors state absolutely needs to interfere then it's a public schooling
Lol as someone who went to state school in Orbanistan I can tell you that they absolutely need more interference.. just not in the education material, but financial aid. Most schools in Hungary (esp. rural) are collapsing, rundown and sometimes dangerous. In my elementary school once the walls were soaked after a heavy rainstorm and it was dangerous to turn on the lights :)
Hungary the money collector，there is chaos there is chance to make money😂😂，nothing more，Mr orban was born for money，nothing more😅😅😅
Status on Hungarian public schools: in our middle school our kids had to bring their own toilet papers. We had to photocopy the history textbook for the entire class. There was no art class. But the kids were happy, because what is sold to the public and the EU as education was actually a good time for them. The teachers let them play on their phones the entire day.

Hungary is not an anti-EU, pro-Russian country, as it was said in the whole video. Yes, Orban has insane and corrupt policies and I hate him as a Hungarian. But don't equalize the whole Hungary with Orban. Most of the Hungarian population supports the EU and Ukraine.
@@alfoldmapping5504 quit the nonsense, Orbán and fidesz is what will save Hungary.
Jordan is not alt-right. Plus his characterization in this video is completely partisan.
9:18 labeling Jordan Peterson as alt-right is all I need to know when assessing the credibility of this channel.
Denying he is alt right tells us all we need to know about you too
Jorden Peterson is the darling of the far right, its amusing that literally every far right true believer refuses to admit that.
There's not one more illiberal structure or project West of Russia than the EU.
Why spoil the holiday with the presence of leaders of Western fascism... Happy birthday, Hungary!
He does not seem to accept 1956 and 68 in Czechia.
We Don't accept 1848 and 1920
Top on the list of EU perceived corruption, but I note all the actual proven corruption has sat with other countries in the EU. I find this both ironic and ridiculous.
Hungary Economy would/is collapsing without EU funds
The EU funds Hungary is entitled to has been withheld for years, and miraculously, Hungary has survived. Go, figure.
Keep crying
@peterbalogh8138 it survived because its exports it unemployed to Germany&Swiss record high inflation is pushing people in to poverty.
@@peterbalogh8138 At what cost though? Hungary's was on brink of collapse during the gas crisis.
just because europe inflicted themselves with sanctions doesn't mean hungary has to. hungery has to suffer poverty to prove their loyalty? what idioicy. @@TheBlackIdentety
Unbalanced bad "journalism" as usual.
2:39 Using pressure is suddenly unusual in 'western political culture' when Hungary makes demands? Why was that pressure not unusual when you were forcing LGBTQIA down Hungary's throat?
Wow, if there ever was biased nasty reporting...stinning 1st prize DW
Why he didn’t invited Scholz? Because chances are that he will not be around for very long. As opposed to most EU leaders, Victor Orban cares more about Hungary than about what the US master’s directives.
He cares about Hungary but not about Hungarians - they're leaving in droves
@@moif_velocita they might,it’s a free world supposedly,french people are coming to Canada in droves even though Macron is the total opposite of Orban,German industry is leaving in droves re-locating to places where they can afford to operate even though Scholtz is what EU dreams about. From what I know,people from neighbouring countries go to Hungary to fill their gas tanks.
Orbán cares only about his own power and wealth. Education is failing, healthcare as well, the inflation is the highest in the EU and the list goes on...
@@moif_velocita Hungarians leave the country in one of the smallest numbers proportionatly considering the eastern European countries. About as many hungarians live in other EU countries as Austrians in other EU countries. And the number does not really grow, because it is not a one way road...about as many moves back home as many leaves. Also we have a significant ammount of German and Dutch people coming in. Mainly people who got to the point where they are financially free in Hungary, but would not be in Germany etc., some for political reasons, some because want to live a richer life on his/her pension, some just want to be able to live from the pention., some for sense of safety.. very diverse bunch of people..
He doesn't care about Hungary. He's stealing his own taxpayers' money like there's no tomorrow and every decision his making serves this goal. He made his exschoolmate the richest one in Hungary. The guy can't even speak Hungarian fluently 😂 Not to mention orban is Putin's lapdog. That's not the interst of Hungarians.
Huexit in the making. Is this the end of European Union and nato
Nope.
Please, let it be so.
Sorry if we invited our cultural cusins to our nations birthday instead of someone who always intrigue against us. Seeing what migration caused in Germany, France, Italy. Hungary is 18th safest country in 2023. Conservativeism and nationalism is not a crime It doesn't matter how liberals want to paint it. And it looks like people has enough of liberals. Look at the elections in Finland, Netherlands, Italy, Slovakia ect...
... they form death squads there and kill minorities?
The march of the frustrated also passes.
Seeing the migrations ín West ..everybody eats its selfmade soup.
Most logical leader in Europe whose support national benefits more than EU and US benefits.
Let the Huns have a referendum on Hunxit.
He stands up for his own people, that's why the eu hate him
If by standing up for his people you mean creating a corrupt oligarchy and threating the future of his people by keeping hungary a poorhouse and trying to align it with other corrupt poorhouses. Yeah, he definitely does.
@@artonio5887 im ok if they get few cash in return of saving the country look ,west europe... Look zelensky days ago bought 95 million worth yatch his wife in newyork buying all kinds of things with the money given by EU and america instead of helping poor ukranians.
Get out EU !
Which is why he is disempowering "his own people" more and more? Corruption, as a real indication of "standing up for one's own people" has been increasing for years, ranking 77th in the corruption index in 2022. The opposite is the case, isn't it?
good joke, sir. congrats.
Important thing to mention. We would never leave an established alliance! We wait until it destroys itself, then turn off the lights and close the door! :D
One thing his government does that others should do to counter the lack of babies being born in western countries is cutting income tax from new moms. Meanwhile in places like Canada those without kids (who want them but can't afford them) work to pay a high tax and barely get any help for their children when they have them. If a couple even gathers the means to be able to do it (an ever so rare thing these days) the tax benefits and returns are a joke, barely scratch the surface of how much it costs for a family so survive.
No country is perfect but Orban’s Hungary is as bad as RuZZia!
in most countries there are tax cuts based on having children
In Hungary if a woman has 3 children, gets a massive tax cut. If she has 4, than zero income tax for life. With 3 children also the gov grants about half a flat worth of money and gives a super cheap gov protected loan that covers about the other half of a flat and the repayment is about the same ammount as the monthly tax cut. So after all if you have 3 children, you get granted about 15 years of salary of an average Joe. I don't know any other country that gets anywhere near this.
This Earth experiment is going well, we are chocking ourselves to death. Just in my lifetime, we went from 2.8 to 8 billion. All systems are built for more voters, devotees, consumers, workers, producers listeners, clicks. it is a perfect way to self destruct. maybe some other apes will develop in a few million years upon our ashes.
Just FYI: because the gvt supports having babies only on paper they have a massive decline in birth rates. Hungary is an authoritarian hybrid regime in which orban steals the taxpayers' money (via help of his oligarchs), the educational system is in ruins, childbirth centers are closing because of lack of personel - this shows how he cares about demography: nothing counts just the power.
Isn't it very sad that EU come to the point that Hungarians can talk more with Turkey and Azerbaijan then with European leaders.
Yes, but I need to ask the question: Is it that all EU leaders are making a mistake and Hungary is right alone? EU politics is worse than Azerbaijan or Turkey?
@@sebipayne Wake up buddy! Welcome to reality!

Unfortunately, it seems we don't have a leaders anymore in Europe. They look more like choir singers with Choir master.
2:34 Well she should mention that the funds are Hungary's withheld funds...why did the EU withheld those funds in the first place
Probably because the EU is allowed to and because Hungary didn’t care about the rule of law
Aaah. Because of graft and corruption in Hungary and failure on human rights reform. If Hungary wants the benefits the EU, then obey the rules. Otherwise, rejoin the Soviet bloc.
Lol.. he is leader of his country and answerable to his people, he can choose to be friends with anybody for the benefit of his people. It is interference from other countries that is the cause of conflicts, prime example is Ukraine. Despite Zelensky voted on a peace ticket to reconcile essentially a civil war, he signed on instead to NATO funded proxy war.
ever heard of sphere of influence? you can't do business with a hostile country that played the major role in forming the military alliance you're in. isn't that a bit weird? he can make business with so many other countries, why the invader Putin? Hungary is a small country, a VERY small country yet they bark so loud, weird, right?
Oh, so it was Zelensky who attacked Russia? Can you tell us in detail what happened in 2022 on the 24th? Who attacked whom? NATO attacked Russia at the hands of Zelensky? What world do you live in, what reality? I want you and your Asian children to experience everything that Ukrainians experience. And I would sit on the couch looking smart and writing messages on KZhead.
Answerable to his oligarchs, his people dont get a say.
We, Ukrainians, have been defending our freedom, territory, the right to rule on our own land, the right to exist and other sovereign rights from Russia since 2014, when Russia treacherously attacked, violating our agreements (Treaty on the State Border, Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation , Budapest Memorandum and others). Ukraine has never attacked anyone and has never been an empire in history. Zelensky, the composition of parliament, all previous presidents and parliaments came to power democratically, that is, they were elected. Yes, we still have a strong oligarchic influence, there are problems with corruption, but if you look at the trend, you will see progress (largely thanks to the European vector). For 300 years in the Russian Empire (and then the USSR, remember Holodomor), the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian identity were infringed on at the state level, but now we have strong support in the world and we will not give up the right to our own national state, for which we fought for so long.
As a westerner I respect this man’s integrity. I struggle to find something like him in Western Europe.
He is the only sane person in club
God bless Europe The woke left are panicking 😂
Oh the left? Like the literal communists building universities in hungary, from China?
they had a meeting without olaf and emanuel?? oh come on guys they will invite u on the next dont use DW complain
Orban does all this, because Western countries let him, by not being tougher.
No, he can do this because Hungarian people let him. High time we stop expecting outsiders to save us when it's our responsibility to chose our leaders
@@ashy969thing is more than half the country voted fidesz 😂 whats the purpouse of these comments...
Western is passed, Eastern is future...Orban look-east policy is good for Hungary and Europe 👍
true. Article 7 should already be applied against Hungary, without any more delays. All funding cut and voting rights too.
We're free to choose our own foreign policy.
Orban has a right to protect his country's interests like everyone does, EU try to help to all whereas his own population is just struggling. Shame on you eu
16:06, “He will become more dangerous…” I didn’t expect from DW to listen to palm readers but yes when they are no facts to present one has to use other means.
Hungary is a European state, Orban a EU leader…what is the narrator talking about?
What about Zimbabwe's Orban or Montenegro's Orban ? I heard they visited Hong Kong's Orban to discuss important matter over the oil crisis in Europe and Africa
I am Polish and I am so proud we chose new government and left Orban behind. Poland deserves better. I have never felt any special bond with Hungary.
I am Polish expat and feel exactly the same ✌🏻
The Visegrad4 was a healthy opposition to Brussels. And you do know what they say about the lack of opposition, don't you?
@marthacichon5950 you are just too good and too sophisticated 🥲
I never understood the friendship between Poland and Hungary, a neutrality makes more sense. While Poland is full of great and good people, Hungary is full of trolls and good people.
why would there be a special bond? the two countries are historically and culturally very separate. hungary used to form an imperial state with austria, and they once or twice occupied poland or parts of it for a little while, but who hasn't? in the 20th century, poland went into WW2 as territory divided between germany, austria-hungary and russia, and got I think its second go of independence afterwards. in WW2, hungary was allied with germany. both poland and hungary were eastern bloc members, but hungary functioned more independently and more open to the west in trade and travel than most eastern bloc countries, whereas poland was almost as much of a puppet state as east germany. hungary has more historic ties to austria and to the balkans than to poland. in language, hungary is extremely distinct, as hungarian together with finnish and estonian form the finno-ugric languages, which originate in the ural mountain region of today's russia and are not part of and are highly distinct from the indo-european languages spoken by basically everyone else in europe. not only is polish more similar to other slavic languages like czech or russian than it is to hungarian, but it's also more similar to german, portuguese, swedish, farsi, or hindi.
Interesting report from liberal mainstream, looks they heard the voices of the critics, that not only bias neoliberal experts they asked, but first time ever I saw in a liberal mainstream channel a conservative thinker, to answer to defend Hungary's position. Meantime of course the whole tone of the report was bias, few times false and not very fair, but still we can celebrate the breakthrough, that they gave a small few seconds to a different perspective than their own!

Who cares what he wants as long as he is knowingly hurting everyone else? If anything that makes him abusive. There should be less compromising and more figuring out what to do with so oppenly agressive EU partner and anyone else that might look at him and think to himself/herself "this dude has it good". UK left EU and it looks that it is finally realising "great empire" days are long over so "maybe" they should start playing nice. Maybe he should be given the same mandate as Ukraine, clean corruption, then we will talk about membership. Corruption should not be something that works, people eventually tend to learn that if corruption does not work, then maybe they should try something else, but they will keep using it as long as it works, because in their world, of course it works, it is the only way you can get anything done, because people like him will block or at least try to block anything else.

I like how you depict Hungary as an "extreme outlier" in terms of energy dependence while multiple EU countries are renewing their resources purchaises from the russians. Such a shield tactic.

@@pohanahawaiibecause their leaders are clever.😅
When a leader implements an independent policy for the sake only of his country's interests then he is called athoritarian one.
Then shouldn’t have joined the EU … but if he wants to do that, he should leave the EU
It's just more funnier to hear that from states, with the authoriter, presidential-system.
Not for our sake, definitely!
Yes Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping also pursue an independent policy, irrespective of human rights at home and elsewhere.
But who keeps you a brother in the EU? Go away, be smart and strong. Bon voyage.
Liars. There are no new gas deal with Russia. Those are deals before the Ukranian war. And they are not talking about where are the energies originating form at the other states. Buying second third hand energy from Russia is the same. Again do not make economic decisions based on non economic factors.
Making a doco on Hungary's alliances and not mentioning the Turkic states organisation?
So much fuss about not being invited to a birthday party. Yes, we even blackmailed him by withholding the funds unless he does what he's told to but it didn't work. Look who's he hanging out with?! We don't have control over none of them! NONE OF THEM! This is outrageous
he will get the funds. a part of it was already transmitted.
These funds were frozen due to problems with the rule of law, etc. It is Orban who is blackmailing the EU, extorting to unblock this money in exchange for a decision on Ukraine
Withholding the funds works pretty well. 😉
Germany, France are on the way to become new kalifats and going down economi... Orban is looking for good partnerships
We are doing fine, thank you.
The usual "balanced" view of the german state-funded media. And it wasn´t "Orbán throwing a party", that´s the way Hungary as a state and as a nation celebrates it´s jubileum, it was that way even under communist regime!
ukraine in the EU, great joke😂
Hungary in the eu,great joke😅
Well, there are good and there are bad things a politician does. It depends on the perspective. But we don't really know what kind of decision they do and for what reason. Ask yourself a simple question: have you been there when a decision have been made? Have you talked personally with a president or a prime minister regarding that decision? The answer is most likely no. We know news from the media. There is only so much a journalist can do.
It's not that complicated: centralizing poeer is the main reason decisions are made. Everything is negligible. Only the power that counts. And building it needs a lot of oligarchs paid by taxpayers' money. Rule of law is not important anymore. And the uneducated millions like it.
Of approximately 4,000 Hungarian immigrants who were in the United States at the time of the Civil War, 800 served in the Union Army, or twenty percent. “This degree of participation exceeds that of any other ethnic group in America.” There were an estimated 130 officers of the 800 Hungarians in the Union Army.

Your very selective choice of Hungarian political commentators is clear as to the intentions you set out to present and to say about Orban Viktor. What is said has more to do with attacking Orban on personality traits and "European Norms", which are never defined. The sour grapes taste comes through in your commentators' declarations.
