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

> 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.)
