Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was met with boos at a campaign rally in an opposition stronghold, prompting the right-wing leader to lash out at demonstrators, who he accused of “pushing Ukraine’s cart.”
Honest question to any Hungarians, has Orban even talked about Hungarian issues this election or has he just been laser focused on hating Ukraine and Zelensky?

>has Orban even talked about Hungarian issues this election
Not one word. It's only MP (the opposition leader) bad, Ukraine bad, Zelenskij bad, Brussels bad and about how he and his party is the only thing standing between us and all out war.
I mean pretty much all issues we have is the direct result of this piece of shit and his gang running the country into the ground in the past 16 years.

I was in Budapest last year, it was nice because I didn't meet a single Orban supporter. I felt like I was in solidarity with the people of that city who are being held hostage by their government and the brainwashed rural voters.

Political, but iirc thanks to the government propaganda, a significant portion like 40%, favours Russia. When year after year you are constantly bombarded with how Ukraine's bad, this is the result. If you ask why, then you get empty stares.

Not at all. "Oops, it's all Brussels, Zelenskyy, Ukraine". On March 15, the country commemorated one of our greatest national holiday, Orban did not say the name of its greatest hero, Sándor Petőfi, at all. Only war, Ukraine and else.

Not really because every single topic was taken by the Tisza. Since they are in power since 2010, in case of every domestic problem the reaction is "you had 16 years to fix this dont tell me now you'll care in the next 4 years if you didnt care in the last 16"
He needed to find external scapegoats to mobilize his voters against something. Those are EU and Ukraine.

No, in fact he has not been talking about any issues affecting the county for many years now. Only Brussels and more recently Ukraine who "want war" and "want our money".
While it is alienating a lot of people, a frightening number of people still just believe whatever he says. In interviews, people who vote for Fidesz seem like brainwashed propaganda machines. It's scary to witness regular people reciting completely illogical propaganda messages as if it was an obvious truth, it's exactly like arguing with flat earthers: no logic, no reason, just blind confidence.

While it's not over until the fat Vatnik sings I do eagerly await seeing this treasonous piece of shit get wrecked and locked up if Hungarians can pull through for us all. The only one's supporting Russia at this stage are either traitors, parasites or regressive idiots. We need to make sure they're kicked out and never allowed near power no matter what country it is as they're all the same corrupt bastards ruining things for everyone.

>Local mayors exercise an iron grip over daily lives, providing work, firewood, transport to polling stations and, in one case, even access to medicine, in exchange for the "correct" vote on election day, according to claims made in the film.

He's saying that Hungarians who are opposed to him are *pushing Ukraine's cart?*
Is he saying that like it's a *bad* thing? Because if Russia takes Ukraine then all that is learned is that Russia's imperialistic behavior *works*. So, who's next? Maybe Hungary.
Supporting Ukraine is acting in your own best interests, long-term, while Ukrainians are the ones under fire, not you.

I have a lot of family in conservative hungary and every single one of them is fully insane, and I'd even say kinda evil. The family drama is constant with everyone trying to screw each other in family business deals, even holding family ashes hostage and refusing in intern them until the family come together with a few thousand euros worth to build the hostage takers mother's monument. And every single one of them will talk your ear off about what a threat to society trans people are, how they all need to be locked away. How Putin is a great ally of Hungary and once their eternal enemy of Ukraine is crushed Putin is going to give Hungary a bunch of prime land (which was always hungary's sacred clay), how the first humans actually were Hungarians and all culture and civilization actually flows from hungary because evolution is a lie. How hungary is getting robbed and screwed by the communist EU, but also how orban is so smart for robbing the EU blind. They're just awful people.
