    Orban is a maga hero. How Orban responds may be a preview.

    Don’t you dare thumb your nose at the EU or appeal for peace or preservation of culture or you’ll be branded an “authoritarian” and subjected to color revolution.

    The socialists/communist do NOT like Orban... I hope he survives. Interesting timing too, aren't we close to placing a military base in Hungary?

    I’d be disappointed in Orhan if he let that happen.

    Also, I believe Orhan’s greatest nemesis is a party that’s even more nationalistic than his.

    There are two varieties of nationalistic type beliefs. One is good the other is NOT...

    Can you elaborate on how Orhan’s is in the bad category ? As far as I can see he champions all the things that got Trump elected, chiefly immigration control.

    You’d probably still be safer there than in Paris or London.

    Repeat for your lying eyes …

    However, the 2023 Eurostat data does affirm the core point of the post: Poland, Hungary, and Czechia do have significantly lower ‘crime, vandalism, and violence’ rates than the EU average; while some Western countries, such as the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Belgium, have higher crime rates than the EU average (as per 2023).
