Wild to think this might actually shift the EU’s internal balance. One thing I’d watch is media independence in the next year, if that changes, everything else can move faster.

Big win, but expectations are going to be even bigger. Changing leadership is one thing and actually fixing structural issues and relations with the EU is a much tougher test.

The analysis is fairly close to reality in my opinion. While he will have a lot more common ground with the rest of the EU, he also maintains some of the traits of the Orban’s regime. On other hand we need to understand that there are important cultural differences between the Western Europe and most of the countries that were once part of the former Eastern block. To expect them to behave the same way is rather unrealistic.

From what I’ve heard, you get the impression that EU officials breathed a sigh of relief that there will now be fewer vetoes on their foreign policy decisions regarding Ukraine and Russia.
 But in fact, it looks like a far‑right political party has come to power in Hungary.
