Indeed, Russia is one of his role models
But following the #Ukraine️ invasion, will this be his undoing in today’s elections?

“We don't want #Hungary to be a diverse country. We want to be how we were 1,100 years ago”
#Orban said this in 2019, harking back with nostalgia to that golden era...known as the Dark Ages!
Like other populists, stoking culture war has been a key tactic

In 2017, Bannon invited Farage to help to create a global network of ‘populist nationalists’
He mentions Modi, Orban, Sisi, & Duterte but Trump, Bolsanaro, & @BorisJohnson were no doubt in his mind

A🧵on why last month's Peace March in #Budapest was so important. Half a million #Hungarians marched through the streets of the capital in support of the #Orbán government, and against the #Left. Frantic phonecalls followed from western embassies to their capitals. Here's why:
They will deny this, but both #Brussels and #Washinfton are at the very least thinking of interfering with the outcome of the #HungarianElection. Since the government's performance is generally good, and the opposition is a rather farcical bunch prone to make unforced errors...
