Seriously.#JDVance says he's 'here to help' #Orbán #election campaign during #Hungary visitVance’s 2-day visit to Budapest is a bid to turn the tide in Orbán’s election campaign where the long-serving leader, a close #Trump ally, is trailing in the polls.#geopolitics #authoritarianism #strongman #illiberalism #corruption #kleptocracy #MafiaState https://apnews.com/article/jd-vance-hungary-orban-election-campaign-08e0929e9c8b3ae4302ae4e8c0393d5e

#Orbán is running for his 5th-straight term as “prime minister”. He & his #nationalist #populist #Fidesz party are facing their toughest race in 2 decades against a center-right challenger, #Tisza party led by Péter #Magyar, that could bring an end to Orbán’s 16 years in #power.Orbán has bristled at the slightest mention of the #election by any of his partners in the #EU, decrying any expressions of support for his opponent as a grave breach of #Hungary’s sovereignty & meddling in the election

Yet speaking at a joint news conference with #Orbán at his HQ in Budapest’s Carmelite Monastery, #JDVance campaigned openly for the PM, saying he wanted to “help as much as I possibly can” ahead of the April 12 vote.#Vance was scheduled to appear later on Tuesday at an election rally for Orbán dubbed a “Day of Friendship” event — an unusual step from a foreign leader & a break with the practice of most politicians who avoid taking an active role in the political campaigns of other countries.

@Nonilex so the US vice-President is interfering in a European election?

Despite his clear endorsement of #Orbán, #Vance lashed out at the #EU for what he said was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.”Long accused by critics of taking over Hungary’s institutions, clamping down on #press #freedom & overseeing entrenched political #corruption — charges he denies — Orbán has become an icon in the global #FarRight movement. #hypocrisy #Trump #geopolitics #illiberalism #kleptocracy #MafiaState

@Nonilex If I didn't know any better, I would be forced to conclude that election interference and an anti-EU, pro-Russia stance has now become official U.S. Foreign Policy. Which implies that the USA has officially become an adversarial state from an EU perspective.This then begs the question:Is it is now fair game for individual European nations and the EU to begin campaigning for democracy (and therefore against the MAGA movement) in the USA?Food for thought.

@Nonilex We can hope that Vance bestows on Orban the handshake of sudden death. Vice versa OK also.

@Nonilex I’d like to paraphrase a famous quote: This vice president isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit. Let’s hope Hungary thinks so.

#Trump has repeatedly endorsed #Orbán’s candidacy for reelection, & many in the #MAGA movement approve of the Hungarian leader’s opposition to #immigration, curtailing of #LGBTQ+ rights, & capture of the #media & #academia.But with most independent polls showing a double-digit deficit for #Fidesz among decided voters ahead of the April 12 vote, Orbán has sought to boost his profile by appearing publicly with his international admirers.#illiberalism #corruption #kleptocracy #MafiaState

#Hungary, which has broken with most #EU countries by refusing to assist #Ukraine with financial assistance or weapons to ward off #Russia’s full-scale invasion, has remained firmly committed to purchasing Russian energy despite EU efforts to wean off such supplies.In November, Hungary received an exemption from #US #sanctions on #Russia #oil & #gas after a White House meeting between #Orbán & #Trump.#hypocrisy #geopolitics #authoritarianism #illiberalism #corruption #kleptocracy #MafiaState

Yet on Tuesday, #Vance seemed to contradict #US efforts to push its allies to break with #Russia #energy, excoriating other #EU countries for moving to cease their imports of Russian #FossilFuels in response to the #war.“It is funny to watch prime ministers & leaders in some of the Western European capitals talk about the #EnergyCrisis when frankly they should have been following the policies of Viktor #Orbán,” he said.#hypocrisy #Trump #illiberalism #corruption #kleptocracy #MafiaState

@Nonilex Fascist Vance is a Putin puppet. That's been evident for a long time.

@Nonilex JD Eyeliner is among the most cringeworthy of people ever to set foot on this planet. Doesn't say much for Usha.Raises the question of whether he's really from here. Or whether he, the tech bros and Dennis Rodman are aliens whose planetary visitation passes have long since expired.

@Nonilex I wonder if the real reason JD Eyeliner is in Hungary for its elections is to learn how to steal an election you're losing by double digits, to give Orban lessons in it, or for both of them to attend the same Putin seminar on it.

@Nonilex My prediction: Vance is going to be taken of the board as soon as he landed in europe. No flight back with the government plane, no passport in the jacket and JD will be out of the game of Thrones.
