Quote: Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar walked across the border to Romania on Saturday after a week-long journey, in a attempt to win support of the ethnic Hungarians in Romania and appeal to conservative voters in the run-up to the 2026 elections.
Magyar’s centre-right Tisza party emerged last year to mount the most serious challenge to nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban since he rose to power in 2010.

Meanwhile: Orbán personally founded a “Fight Club” (no really, that’s what they named it) of “online patriotic warriors” who “fight for Hungary’s sovereignity” by harrassing, dogpiling, fake-reporting, etc. non-Orbánist political content and its creators on Youtube & social media, while in the offline world Orbán&Co. are preparing a law that will essentially destroy the handful of remaining independent media outlets, and also gearing up to get Magyar out of the picture by “debunking” him & his party as Ukrainian(!!! no, *really*) agents.
So there’s that.
I really hope that at this point anyone who has their eyes open and is not a hardcore Orbánist will haul their ass to the voting booth (if we’ll have an election next year, at this point it’s getting less and less likely) and vote for Magyar, whether they personally like him or not (I’m not a fan but at this point I’d vote for a barrel of dead fish if it was nominated against Orbán).

A lot of the hungarians that awaited him in Oradea actually came directly from Budapest with him. It was a very organised trip. In Oradea there were a lot of hungarian number plates. I don’t know what to say in this case about the ethnic minority in Romania that he is doing this march for.

I really appreciate the security guys around him – very necessary.
