Analysis: Hungary's Orban banking on anti-LGBT campaign in tough re-election bid
Reuters ^ | 13 December 2021 | Reuters

Prime Minister Viktor Orban is casting himself as the defender of traditional Hungarian values against "LGBT ideology" for the 2022 election in which his party may be vulnerable for the first time to a newly united opposition.

Identity politics, especially a hardline anti-immgration line, and disarray among Orban's centrist and liberal-left rivals proved instrumental in the absolute majority won by his conservative nationalist Fidesz party in the 2018 election.

But with a border fence having relegated migrants to a secondary issue, and many Hungarians now preoccupied with bread-and-butter issues including soaring pandemic-driven inflation, the opposition has come together and is running just ahead of Fidesz in some polls.

To win again next year, the key for Orban will be getting all of Fidesz's faithful concentrated in smaller towns and villages back to the ballot box, with a referendum on "LGBT propaganda" likely on the same day as an added fillip.

Yet with inflation running at a 14-year high of 7.4%, Orban will also need some of the undecided voters whom he is targeting with large tax cuts for families, massive pension hikes, a 20% minimum wage rise and a fuel price cap.

Viktor Orban - standing against the wave of leftists.

Ignoring the pro-LGBT tone of the article (hey Reuters - you're supposed to be unbiased reporting)

I remember joking along with other folks on FR about the LGBTXYZ....

BUT reality is stranger than fiction - the libtards keep adding letters to the L,G etc. - when I spoke with folks from Procter & Gamble, there was the “A” for allies added.

Now there is probably a few more letters added.

They had to add MAPs after it became obvious President Biden is one.

Now, however, it confronts a united opposition alliance under Peter Marki-Zay, a Judas, father of seven and political outsider who vows to scrap the anti-LGBT law that has drawn condemnation by human rights groups and Brussels.

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world ... but for Hungary?

If far left Reuters says “tough re-election bid", it means Orban will win with little sweat.

I always thought the 'A' stood for "asexual". Poor asexuals, what did they do to deserve being grouped with the freaks? For that matter, I know some homosexuals who would be embarrassed to be seen with the trannies. One big happy family they are not.
