okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the guy just rid us from Orbán.
You know what it takes to win an election against Orbán? It's not just making a party and campaigning. The rules were massively rigged. Hungary was gerrymandered to oblivion. The regime played dirty.

Magyar was harrassed and provoked constantly. His phone was tapped with military spy software. His girlfriend turned out to be a Fidesz agent. AI slop was generated about him and fed to voters on the daily. Russian agents helped create smear campaigns against him.
His movement was infested with spies. State security were deployed to break down his IT system and perform data leaks. His supporters were harrassed. The entire country was flooded with billboards spreading lies about him. He was threatened with a leaked sex tape.
Never wavered.
Never wavered.
In 2 years he has visited 327 towns, 517 times, visited 161 parishes of the 174, always went to the crowd, always shook hands, always took selfies. He often managed to visit 6 or even 9 towns in one day. Almost every day he was out with the people, telling them not to fear.
He showed people all the good that is in Hungary. He inspired them to start talking to each other. After 16 miserable years of being told they do not belong, people started feeling pride for their homeland again.
That one can be a proud Hungarian and reject Orbán's mess.

If you don't care to see how Hungarians now cry on each other's shoulders, sing patriotic songs in crowded subway cars, honk the horns while wave the flags, proudly for the first time maybe ever, I don't know what to tell you.
This is a watershed moment.
And Magyar took us here.

Is he a center-right, conservative person? Yes, and?
Nobody cares. He believes in a democratic state and the rule of law, and his job is to take Hungary back there. He has declared he does not care what one believes in, or whom one loves, as long as they love Hungary.

He's just given his very first press conference. He's not even PM yet. He has opinions and agendas, because he's a politician. He will further discuss them when the time comes.
The fact that he was up there for 3 hous giving answers to actual questions is already a miracle to us.

Anyways.
I'm glad you have learned his name. Its correct pronunciation is PEEter MAdjar. Extra points for saying the surname first.
We will have plenty of time to pick his policies apart.
But I'd like you to be aware that what he's done is for the history books.
