In a stunning thread on X, @HungaryBased reports on Magyar Péter's defiant response to the European Union's 27 demands for Hungary, signaling minimal compliance and a staunch defense of national interests. According to the post, Magyar has agreed to fulfill only four conditions: strengthening anti-corruption measures, restoring independence to investigative authorities and the judicial system, ensuring press freedom by halting government funding, and reinstating academic freedom. However, he has firmly rejected the majority of the EU's stipulations, maintaining key policies that resonate with Hungary's patriotic base.
Magyar has made it clear that popular measures like no income tax for mothers and current pension schemes will remain untouched, alongside a refusal to raise income taxes. On immigration, he stands resolute, pledging to keep the southern border fence intact and outright rejecting the EU Migration and Asylum Pact. His economic priorities include reinstating the Druzhba pipeline, which he views as crucial to Hungary's economy.
Regarding Ukraine, Magyar's stance is unyielding. He insists that Ukraine's EU accession hinges on securing rights for ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia, including linguistic, educational, and cultural protections. He also plans to opt out of any EU funds directed to Ukraine and proposes a referendum on Ukraine's EU membership. Support for ethnic Hungarians abroad will continue unabated, underlining his commitment to national identity.
Magyar positions himself as a defender of Hungary's sovereignty, explicitly rejecting federalist ideals. @HungaryBased notes that despite the change in leadership, little seems poised to shift fundamentally, with many of Orbán's international allies already extending congratulations to Magyar. The author suggests a degree of political theater in Magyar's anti-Orbán and anti-Fidesz rhetoric, describing it as 'cinema' aimed at appeasing Western and leftist voters with the illusion of change.
The post highlights the composition of Magyar's Tisza party, dominated by centre-right, technocratic, and ex-Fidesz pragmatists rather than hardcore leftists or green activists. While the voter base includes left-liberal elements, the parliamentary group and Magyar's inner circle lean distinctly centre-right. This mismatch suggests that the leftists, who made significant compromises to back Magyar, hold little sway in Parliament, having been sidelined in favor of a more conservative leadership.
@HungaryBased expresses cautious optimism, noting, 'it may be true that we just elected one patriot with another.' However, concerns linger about Magyar's status within the European People's Party (EPP), especially given Fidesz and Orbán's past affiliation until 2021. A significant shift is anticipated in Hungary's foreign policy: the country will no longer block or veto EU weapons or funding for Ukraine, potentially easing Hungary's reintegration into NATO's fold. The author warns the EU, stating, 'Now, you don't have Hungary to blame for all your pro-Ukraine goals and the risks of a larger war is looming even greater in Europe.'
This development paints a complex picture of Hungary's political landscape under Magyar Péter. While some reforms align with EU expectations, his broader agenda reflects a continuity of nationalist priorities, challenging the EU's influence and raising questions about the compromises made by both domestic and international actors in his rise to power. As @HungaryBased concludes, the rest of Europe must now navigate this new reality without Hungary as a convenient scapegoat for stalled policies.
Fist steps and it shows that they don’t understand basic implications:
Remove Gov funding for media means: watch big pharma to take over their budgets (to make people believe they need minions in power).
Remove Gov funding for universities means: watch leftists to donate them and establish their minions and then policies, watch youth being indoctrinated.
Everyone remember Trump warning to remove Gov funding for some universities. What if he didn’t have this leverage?
Let’s give it some time, but it doesn’t look like new Hungarian Gov is Awake. I would like to be proven wrong.
You never heard of 5G warfare? It's narrative warfare.
Every globalist from here to Tunisia wants to paint the election loss of Orban as "a blow against far-right extremism (aka anti-globalist sovereign nationalists)".
They have every incentive to do so. Hence "why.... is Alex Soros... "
I KNEW that WHats were in control , BUT I was seeing a Mamdani move on steroids BUT THIS is so much BETTER.! Is this SIGNAL that the Whats helped this guy win, knowing he was one of us and thereby MESSING with the heads of both Left and Right!. LOT of that going around lately!
This is a re-run of Fetterman. Will Magyar wear an Adidas tracksuit to work too?🤣
Well, the proof is in the doing.
Let's see how long this lasts.

Wow. I'm so shocked. Wish I'd posted something that indicated as much yesterday.
Oh wait, I did.
Well, wait and see. But I think the immediate impulse of some frogs to doom may have suffered as setback here.
Orban 2.0? Without the cronyism? That'd be nice.

Why is Alex Soros cheering this dude was elected? If you are claiming this guy is a good guy you’re on crack and grasping at hopium straws.

It ain't rocket science.
Less government involvement, anti corruption moves, and a big middle finger to the eu. God bless Hungary and all who reside there
