Hungary’s Orban wins 4th term, declaring victory over enemies including Soros and Zelensky

Hungary’s nationalist prime minister, Viktor Orban, has won a fourth term in office, dashing the hopes of a broad opposition alliance of unseating him after 12 years in power.

In his victory speech Sunday night, Orban said he had prevailed against a slew of perceived enemies: “the left at home, the international left all around, the Brussels bureaucrats, the Soros empire with all its money, the international mainstream media, and in the end, even the Ukrainian president.”

The speech drew immediate criticism for its use of antisemitic dog whistles as Orban declared victory for “Christian democratic politics” in Hungary, where he is the standard bearer for the autocratic right. Both George Soros, the Hungarian-American liberal billionaire, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are Jewish.

With 98% of the votes from Sunday’s general parliamentary elections counted, Orban’s Fidesz party won 53% percent of the vote, enjoying an 18-point lead on the runner up, United for Hungary.

Orban, Putin, Assad..etc simply believe that there is justification in being the cold blooded killers we see in Ukraine.
They actually justify it.
