Summary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, encouraged by Donald Trump’s return to power, hosted Germany’s far-right AfD leader Alice Weidel, calling the party the “future” of Germany.
He aims to unite Europe’s far-right in the EU Parliament and praised AfD’s anti-immigration stance. Weidel, in turn, lauded Hungary as a “role model.”
AfD, polling at 21% ahead of Germany’s February 23 election, has gained mainstream recognition, with CDU leader Friedrich Merz breaking precedent by seeking AfD support in parliament.
Orban’s Patriots for Europe bloc seeks further far-right influence in Brussels.
Is there a German word for “an endorsement that has a net negative effect”?
“Bärendienst”, as in “A well meaning action that has unintended negative consequences”?
And literally meaning “bear service”, I think? That’s hilarious. The most formidable beast of the wilds of Europe, simply a bumbling little guy always making things worse when they try to help
I’ll take it!
Yeah, the whole of the EU knows Hungary is our corrupt little member.
This might make some far right wingers realize that fascism is only good for the powerful and wealthy.
ha ha, no, right wingers only realize stuff when they personally are affected and sometimes not even then. See the USA right now.
Nazis praising nazis. In other news today: Water is wet.
I think it’s the past of Germany if anything…
Future for him.
Hopefully not, as he doesn’t deserve any future.
Both are the human equivalent of loud wet sharts.
is the german government fighting it in any way or are they going to wait until it’s too late and then cry?
Worse: They try to make them small again by becoming them. Spoiler: It didn’t work. The AfD is now stronger then ever and has other parties draged torwards their inhuman propaganda.
Fuck yeah, nationalist Germany is exactly what I needed for my 2020’s bingo card.
what is missing?
just that i can prepare …
Christ
Unfortunately he’s probably right.
Quoting Zhukov in a thread relating to Hungarian dysfunction, really? Why not see what Pol Pot thought about ophthalmology?
Edit: downvoters may want to educate themselves on what Zhukov was up to in 1956.
They get to learn where the term Tankie comes from!
Edit: also, I think Europe may be mad about the mass rapes, the red army sitting on their asses while the Nazis razed Warsaw, actively preventing East Germany and East Berlin from rebuilding while West Berlin and West Germany thrived, etc more so than the destroying fascism part. Just my two cents.
Málenkij Robot memorial, Budapest.
The problem was not the liberation, but that the only thing they changed was which way the wagons with people were leaving the country never to be seen again.
