He’s the opposition’s chief economist and tasked with de-Russifying the energy industry if they win, which would catalyze cascading consequences that subordinate Hungary to globalism like Soros has sought to do, thus making this former Shell vice president Hungary’s grey cardinal in that event.
Orban has kept Hungry on a reasonable path. Who better to have as your energy source then Russia???? Russia has the oil and the pipeline gas which is much less expensive the LNG. Hungry stick with Orban.
Since Shell has been fanning anti-Russian colour upheavals and had waged economic war on Russia by ceasing operations and abandoning projects midway in wake of the Ukrainian crisis, Russian government should expropriate Shell assets and shareholdings within Russia, and should also warn third parties contemplating buyout of Shell's stakes that those Stakes have become null and void and those seeking to buy them will be doing so at their own risk without being able to materialise their purchases inside Russia.
Andrew, Since Orban is leader of Hungary, at every elections, I say every elections, 2014, 2018, 2022, every MSM in the western world claim that those will be very harsh and risky for him.
It seems to be somewhat different this time, even RT recognizes this and is preconditioning their audience to possibly expect the worst:
"Magyar currently holds a nine-point lead over Orban, according to an aggregate of polls compiled by Politico. However, the polling organizations showing the clearest advantage to Magyar are those affiliated with the opposition or funded by the EU: the 21 Research Center, which is financed by the European Commission, has Tisza leading Fidesz 49% to 37%; the IDEA Institute, which has accepted EU and NED money, shows Magyar’s party leading 48% to 38%; Median, which was founded by a member of the liberal SZDSZ party linked to the opposition HVG newspaper, shows Tisza beating Fidesz by 55% to 35%."
There are different polls. If you listen to Phil Philkington, who is now based in Budapest for a while you will learn that. Also, there is push for these polls despite the knowledge that Orban is likely to win, just to try to deligitimize the elections after, as stolen, and maybe pull a Romania on Hungary...
I wouldn't put too much faith into Politico. EU can't stand Orban because, he won't bow to their ways. EU is going down the tubes. They are nothing but a bunch
of Communists. Good for nothing. With Ursula at the helm, EU is barely hanging on.
Their polling was generally accurate during both rounds of the Polish presidential election, from what I remember last spring, and it's in any case noteworthy that RT is drawing attention to it, albeit with a disclaimer about their affiliations and funding.
Overall, from what I can tell, Russia as a state doesn't believe that Orban's victory is inevitable, whether he loses fairly or not. There's a sense that he might be "democratically ousted" this time. I'm not saying that he will be, just that Russia doesn't assume that he'll win, but nor does it assume that he'll lose.
We have friends there that know what's going on. The Communists don't want a good thing. My husband escaped Communist Hungary years ago.
He and his mother came to the US and became citizens (the LEGAL way).
His father died at age 50. He died of a heart attack after the Communist
nationalized his construction business for the third time. The Communists gave his grandparents 24 hours to get off their farm. They came to the US with about $20 in their pocket and 2 suitcases. Now, why would any
Hungarian want to vote in Communism again. EU is jealous of Orban.
Orban seems to have played a game of judo against globalists: he infiltrated the Hungarian media and education system with sovereigntists, used their playbook against them, and they despise this "bad example". Can't have such a bad example stand - better to have a true disciple like Mitsotakis, where every serious problem gets "resolved" through public relations while the country disintegrates and loses sovernty and true freedom (see press freedom rankings, purchasing power).
HaHa! Are you kidding me? Oh, Orban is so bad. Hungary needs Orban. He hasn't sold out to the EU. That's why they don't like him. BTW, I am
Hungarian and my husband was born in Budapest. Escaping Communism years ago. He'll tell you why Hungary needs Orban. Did anybody report this about Orban. He took in the Ukrainians. He set up tables and helped the
families with housing, jobs, daycare, etc. He's going to WIN.

YOU said it. Thank YOU. I am Hungarian.
All these European retirees who moved to Hungary to escape our multicultural paradises are in for a shock when the opposition wins.
I don't think so. Did you see how many Hungarians marched for Orban. They don't want to lose the safe and thriving Hungary.

Orban is going to WIN the Election in April.

MSM FAKE NEWS. Of course, they can't stand what a safe and thriving Country Hungary has become under Orban. He doesn't bow to the Leftists ways.

I certainly agree, my only point is that I don't expect this to be a walk in the park for Orban and neither, in my assessment, does Russia.

Who put her in charge anyway?

Indeed. Romania, Moldova, Honduras and many more.

They can't control him.
I think you are so much US citizen that you don't know at all what mean "communist".
If for you, Orban's opposition is communist...😂😂😂
Excuse me, it's nervous.
What do you know? My husband knows. He can tell you.

EU doesn't like Orban because, he won't take in illegal alien criminals from other countries. Look what obama/JOE did to the US. They are two
disgusting subhumans.
