Orbán Is Strong Internationally, But Will That Be Enough to Ensure Victory?

It’s funny to read how the European left-wing media twist words. Ursula von der Leyen, through her words and actions – primarily by blocking EU funds – is doing everything in her power to support the leader of the Hungarian opposition, Péter Magyar; she simply calls it “safeguarding democracy”.

However, JD Vance in Budapest, Donald Trump on the phone wishing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán victory – the BBC, for example, describes it as an American “intervention”.

The European Left and the Hungarian opposition, now in disguise as  “centre-right”, have a major problem with American support for Orbán. It is seriously spoiling their plans.

Firstly, the US Vice President has explicitly named the scale of external interference in the Hungarian elections. He called it “disgraceful”: “What has happened in the midst of this election campaign is one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I have ever seen or even read about,” said Vance.
