Can a Europe at war withstand the political drift to the right? After Viktor Orbán’s election victory in Hungary, the country’s intellectuals are trying to rally. And look anxiously to the west.
People like to forget that they should remember. For example, the past twelve years of Orbán politics. There are few honest sentences from the mouth of the election winner Viktor Orbán. But there have also been times when he made true announcements, like twelve years ago when he declared on the eve of the 2010 elections, it was a Saturday: If we win, and we will win, the Hungarians, the Magyars, will wake up on Monday morning in a completely different country. That was true, and also four, eight and now twelve years later they woke up like thisat least for the next four years.
