    Orban is ramping his deceiful rhetoric ahead of difficult elections. Making sutff up to scare people, for instance

    Orbán has campaigned on the unsubstantiated premise that the EU would send Hungarians to their deaths in neighboring Ukraine if his party loses

    The best thing that could happen is Orban loosing to a less extremist candidate, not Hungary leaving the EU.

    We can only hope Hungary citizens don’t reelect an extremist.
