🇭🇺🇪🇺vs🇺🇸🇷🇺🐸
#Hungary’s tomorrow elections have become a geopolitical battlefield, with last-ditch efforts by the #Trump administration, the #Kremlin, and Europe’s far right to defend a key ally, who has contributed more than anyone over the past 16 years to dividing the #EU.

As absurd as claims of EU interference in European elections are—EU institutions are in silence mode—the same narrative is pushed by Patriots for Europe (@PatriotsEP), as seen in their pre-election statement, now actively exploited by Hungarian government propaganda.

@realDonaldTrump on Truth Social claims he is ready “to use the full economic might of the US to strengthen Hungary’s economy” and invest in the prosperity generated by Orbán’s continued leadership.

With an eye on Hungary’s actual economic performance under Orbán, it is easy for Donald Trump to evade this promise. Properity is barely generated. But his online endorsement demonstrates his desire to keep his European spoiler in position.

Fun fact: @realDonaldTrump sent @JDVance to Budapest empty-handed, yet just a couple of days later he is already talking about massive economic assistance. We see a real strategy and a solid policy track record here.

Regarding the #Kremlin, The Insider (@InsiderEng) has just published a sharp analysis of the activities of the #GRU and the #Matryoshka network in Hungary.
Highly recommended.
