I’ve been an Orban fan for 7 years now.
“I’ve been an Orban fan for 7 years now.”
I can’t remember when he first got my attention, but probably about the same time. They DESPISE him in the EU and US government because he won’t let Groomers have access to Hungarian kids and because he won’t agree to flood his country with ‘refugees’.
He just shows how far the West has fallen, as even 30 years ago, NO COUNTRY in Europe, nor the US, would have permitted either.
I’ve been a fan of his for longer than that. I lived in Budapest in 97-99 and learned the language. Orban was already an important political figure then. He had been the leader of the Young Democrats (Fidesz) which organized in the late 80s in opposition to communism.....this was before the Wall fell.
I then lived in Budapest again in 2003-2004. Orban was previously the prime minister from 1998-2002. He regained the office in 2010 and has held it since.
Sebastion Gorka grew up in Hungary and worked for Orban. He just became a US Citizen in 2012.
I heard Gorka on Steve Bannon a few days ago state that Orban is a communist.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Hungary and like it there. The people there had 150 years under Muslim rule and don’t trust Muslims. Then they had communist rule from 1945 to 1989.
They are gun shy to change.
Orban’s illiberal democracy does function similar to communism and has allowed him to be the longest reigning head of Hungary.
