🧵 So my take on #hungaryelections + surprise devastating defeat of United Opposition. NB defeat not surprising but extent was (to them, pollsters, journalists + even #Fidesz). Important to reflect on how this should change our view of situ here. Some of this is painful to write.
x2 caveats.
1) This isn’t about polling technicalities/quantitive data. Others have provided good technical explanations of poll + projection errors. This is qualitative reflection on how I (+others) have misread realities in #Hungary.
2) Nothing here denies electoral system + context = v. unfair to #Hungary’s opposition.Multiple reports show no level playing field. BUT, while things were slanted against oppo. election was definitely *not* ‘rigged’ -see @OSCE report. Oppo vote down cf 2018 for other reasons.

NEW: Putin ally, autocrat Viktor Orban just declared victory in #hungaryelections.

The news is surely being welcomed in Moscow.

Dark times for Hungary & Europe.

2/ Orban's victory speech had a list of"opponents."

Including Zelensky.

Awful.
3/ #Orban pulled out all the stops to win.

Gerrymandering, legalizing a type of voter fraud...

Even using Hungary's COVID response to push propaganda & lies about his opponents.
