Don’t get too excited. It could easily get worse. They just change the people in the media and declare their own truth. Pushing out the former guys buddy. I mean these all look good on paper, but they also look like every other power grab in history. Let’s hold off and see where it goes before sighing in relief.

They’re the right words. Now let’s see what he does.
Is this guy like just a smidge to the left inside of the right? Like we are talking the country should be better off but it’s not like they are a left wing party.
Small victories though, for sure.
There are voices warning us not to project too many of our own hopes onto him. Apparently he’s pretty much as right wing as Orban, only with a pro-EU spin instead of a pro-Putin one:

Best case scenario for sure. Let’s hope for that but be cautious.
What a strange way to say to say that you’re already pining for Orban.
