.He used to be one of Orban's circle, but then became one of his fiercest critics. OK. I don't know what that means. Either this has been planned as the new Orban, or not, and the EU really got to him, so something is up
Furthermore, the "Nick Thorpe Central Europe correspondent, in Budapest" comment is that the result is:
an astonishing victory for a centre-right party only founded two years ago and a serious blow to national populists
by releasing a secretly recorded conversation in which Varga allegedly discussed political interference by Fidesz officials in corruption cases. This act marked his public break with the party and launched him into the political spotlight as a whistleblower against Fidesz’s corruption.
The disappointment on the part of pundits sounds suss...the victory was a 2/3 majority. The reason Magyar 'defected' was because of a child-sex scandal. Oh.
That doesn't sound like a cheat, and there was an unprecedented turn-out.
According to a couple people I know who follow Hungarian politics. There was also unresolved local issues with Visa and ‘Guest’ workers. Orban didn’t particularly do well on.
Which allowed Maygar an easy point to campaign on.
