This fourth victory in a row is the most brilliant of all for Viktor Orban. Sunday, April 3, the Hungarian Nationalist Prime Minister won the legislatures, crushing the unprecedented opposition coalition that hoped to dislodge after twelve years of power. “The whole world has seen, in Budapest, patriotism has won. It’s our message to Europe: We are not the past, we are the future!”, Proudly launched Mr. Orban to His supporters gathered to celebrate his victory in front of a Budapest Conference Center on the banks of the Danube.

“This victory, we will remember it because we have never had so many opponents, between our national left, the international left, the bureaucrats of Brussels, [the American billionaire of Hungarian origin] George Soros The international media and even the Ukrainian president, “he said, big smile. Despite its proximity to Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban has in no way suffered public reproaches by Volodymyr Zelensky about his lack of support since the beginning of the conflict.

On the contrary, without having pronounced a word in reaction to the abuses discovered the same day in Bantcha, in Ukraine, who shocked the whole world, Mr. Orban won 53.19% of the vote, a score well above this that all the polls predicted.

For the first time in twelve years, six parties going from the left to a training resulting from the extreme right had indeed concluded a pre-election alliance in the hope of beating Mr. Orban. Organized in October 2021, an unprecedented primary appointed as a candidate Mr. Marki-Zay, the mayor of a small provincial town, deeply conservative and Catholic, hoping to debauch some Fidesz voters, the Prime Minister’s movement. But the cocktail has had trouble taking at once because of the divisions between the six parties with a very different profile, and the repeated gaffes of this little experienced politician and too provocative.
