Hungary’s new momentum for democratic renewal

Hungary’s Péter Magyar learned that technocratic politics alone is insufficient, since politics is also largely about identity, community, and storytelling. Thus, unlike earlier opposition forces, Magyar’s Tisza did not limit itself to anti-Orbán slogans, but instead brought back something that was painfully absent from Hungarian public life: a nation-unifying narrative capable of transcending political camps.

Orbán’s Ukraine narrative  

In late January a Russian drone damaged the Druzhba pipeline, through which Russian oil flows to Slovakia and Hungary. While after the attacks Ukraine admitted that reparations were (and still are) needed, Orbán stated – based on a satellite image – that the pipeline has been operational, and that it is simply not working for political reasons.
