#Europe must suspend #Hungarian voting #rights as soon as possible. The #EU and the whole #freeWorld is now facing a time full of #difficulties and threats both from the outside (#Russia, #China, #USA) and inside (#Fidesz, #AfD, #Konfederacja and more). Due to that fact Europe must be #united like never before. We must speak with one voice. We must consolidate our efforts. We must create a #EuropeanArmy. We must #federaliseEurope, because there is no place for small countries in the new reality.

#Palestine-Israel / Israel abandons diaspora Jews' fight against real antisemitism to join forces with Europes’s antisemitic and islamophobic far right

Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry (Amichai Chikli) is inviting representatives from parties with histories of #antisemitism and current Islamophobic positions to a conference specifically about combating antisemitism, titled The International Conference on Combating Antisemitism, further undermining the credibility of frameworks like the #IHRA definition.

Shared Islamophobia is becoming a unifying factor between Israel's government and European far-right movements, previously rejected by Jewish communities as antisemitic or Neo-Nazi.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Jordan #Bardella leads France's anti-Muslim National Rally, founded by #holocaust denier Jean-Marie Le Pen's; Hermann Tertsch comes from Spain's #Vox party, known for inflammatory anti-immigration rhetoric; Charlie Weimers represents #Sweden Democrats with its neo-Nazi origins; Marion Maréchal, Le Pen's granddaughter, has aligned with extreme right movements; and Kinga Gál represents Hungary's #Fidesz party, criticized for antisemitic dog whistles in campaigns against George Soros while promoting strong anti-Muslim policies.

Two things are certain: Death, and that Viktor #Orbán’s #Fidesz party will win in #Hungary. Until now. Two recent polls suggest the political tide is significantly shifting against the prime minister, as Hungarians’ discontent grows.

Hungarian opposition party #Tisza is more popular than Viktor #Orbán's #Fidesz party, which has dominated for the last 18 years, as evidenced by the poll conducted by Publicus Institute think tank.

Tisza has 24% of the total population's support, whereas Fidesz has 23%. In the category of individuals who had cast their vote, the #Magyar party is supported by 39% to Fidesz’s 37%.

MEP from Viktor #Orbán ’s party resigns after drunken ‘violence’ against a woman

https://www.politico.eu/article/balazs-gyorffy-mep-viktor-orban-party-resign-drun-assault-on-woman/

#Fidesz MEPs abstained from voting on the first-ever EU rules to combat violence against women this April, and the Hungarian parliament refuses to ratify the #Istanbul #Convention on the prevention of violence against women and domestic violence.
#VAW #Hungary

Under the leadership of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orbán, a new far-right euroskeptic group — the Patriots for Europe — has become the third-largest bloc in the European Parliament.

The success of Orbán’s initiative is a remarkable achievement. The Hungarian leader has managed to reorganize Europe’s far right around his own image and that of his #Fidesz party.

Ach, jaj. To bude zas hanba. Ale aspoň už bude všetkým oficiálne jasné, že tu v strednej Európe sme banda tupých kokotov.

@zutalorz This is also a good commentary on the #EU2024 election and the vote gains of the far-right parties.

Meanwhile a near political earthquake as #Hungary 's #EP elex results are coming in - a serious blow to Viktor #Orban and his ruling party:
#Fidesz-KDNP dropped from 52 to 44 %

A new party, #Tisza , launched by Peter #Magyar , a former Orban ally/loyalist, just a few months ago got 30%

#Budapest mayoral elex on knife edge - current difference is 300 votes, one of the candidates demands a recount

#Hungary's #Fidesz party flood social media with anti-Western hostile disinformation in Hungary’s election campaign, reaching #EU spending records.

Fidesz and its politicians alone spent €2.0 million, which is 2.6 times more than the combined spending of all 14 opposition parties.

Fidesz was the biggest advertiser on Google in the EU this year, paying for six of the 10 most promoted videos.

'This year's European and local elections may be the toughest in #Orban 's 14-year rule with Hungary's economy in recession, the abuse scandal striking his family-values platform at its core, and a political newcomer threatening to upend the status quo. Even so, Orban's #Fidesz remains the most popular party in Hungary.'
