Hungary's Hand Itches
The text from Friday, in which I predicted that Orbán would lose the parliamentary elections by a two-thirds majority, was quite noticed, judging by the number of comments on the 'Danas' portal. Commentators mostly expressed cautious optimism, only one was convinced of Tisa's victory, and several snarled at me, convinced that Orbán would win.
TL;DR
- The author accurately predicted Orbán's defeat in the parliamentary elections.
- Orbán's loss is celebrated as a blow to his partnership with leaders like Siniša Mali and Milorad Dodik, weakening Putin's influence in Europe.
- The election outcome in Hungary, where a two-thirds majority chose Europe over Russia, is contrasted with Serbia's situation.
- The author believes that Orbán's defeat makes it easier to deal with 'secondary' players and raises questions about future economic projects and investigations.
- The return of basic democracy and the removability of any government in Serbia is stated as the primary goal, now appearing closer than before the election.
