On average, yeah, the few Hungarians I interacted with are pretty conservative and the 16 years of propaganda definitely took toll there.

On the other hand, I believe that most Hungarians still support EU and approve of it at a much higher rate then they do, as an example, Russia.

The only thing I'm looking for from this elections is for Madyar to be more pro EU, he doesn't even have to be a Ukraine supporter but he can at least not block stuff and stop Hungary from being obstructionist.

He seems younger and not aligned with the authoritarian axis, so I do believe, despite him being a product of Orban's party that he can do a nice turnaround, pull back the levers of propaganda and let Hungary be a more normal country.

If Hungarians screw the pooch with this election, I think it's time to seriously consider kicking them out of the EU. Orban has committed what amount to treason with regards to Russia.

Just to have another Serbia around ?
He's in a difficult position both neighbouring Ukraine and getting gas from Russia.
Just his country's not going to make a big difference.

I don't get why we have to be negative. EU is clearly not allowing Serbia in as long as Vučić is it's leader. Serbia as currently aligned won't join the EU, at the very least, while it's spending on military like a drunken sailor and threatening Croatia, Croatia will simply veto it.

Orban being out is a good thing, first good political news in a while and I personally believe that should be celebrated instead of trying to find issues with it.

Orban is in a difficult position of his own making, other countries got (and still are getting) their gas from Russia. The EU is there to help transition away if needed.

No Orban chose to be a wannabe dictator accepting support from Russia to maintain his position in exchange for ratfucking the EU on behalf of Putin. He's no victim.
