And the fruits of that are in the map created by the Frenchman. Good for Hungary!

Yes, indeed. The Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, is very popular, and so are his policies. But I’m not very optimistic about the far future. Because a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link.
What happens if Orbán loses power because of a recession, or because of an unpopular tax, or because some train doesn’t run on time? If a liberal replaces him, that Hungarian border fence will probably open up. And if it only stays open for just a few years, lasting damage will be done.
(I’m of Hungarian descent, so I’m allowed to be a bit pessimistic about this. Brooding about Hungary’s bad luck is a national pastime.)
