He’s pulling the financial floor out from under the whole operation. Halleluiah!
No more MCC dividends from Russian oil. No more $1.7 billion in state assets propping up an international influence network. No more Hungarian taxpayer money in CPAC’s pocket. No more money to the Heritage Foundation. No more shredded documents.
Magyar’s win deprives Putin of his main EU ally and is sending shockwaves through Western right-wing circles. Remove the money, remove the platform, remove the proof-of-concept and what exactly is Heritage selling again? A big fat nothing-burger.
My concern now is Bulgaria’s new leader is going to just replace Orban as the EU asshole who will push to block Ukraine support and will instead suck Putin’s dick like Oban did.
I’m still honestly shocked that Orban just kind of ceded without a fight. No challenging results? No hard or soft coup? He’s been in power for decades and was clearly one sick and corrupt fuck… So to abdicate power like that… It just doesn’t track with me.
My understanding is that the victory was too decisive to really argue over. He can’t really cry foul or cheating effectively since it was his damn government running them. He just… Doesn’t really have a good way to fight it. Rather than looking like a petulant toddler *cough*Trump*cough*, he bowed out and accepted defeat.
Wow, this is all from Orban losing. Noice.

He’s in hiding now and the government are shredding every file they can get their hands on.
They know they’re fucked in more ways than one
There’s more to the story for sure but we won’t get the details until the wars die down and people start talking.
