"Undermining people's willingness to vaccinate could have political consequences for Viktor Orbán". Do we remember Péter Krekó's sentence that caused a great political storm? The political analyst is now coming from abroad again, according to him, the departure of Fidesz from the faction of the European People's Party also means the party's loss of influence.
, 888.hu called Péter Krekó "György Soros' master instigator" , referring to the fact that the managing director of Political Capital has been busy with Hungary's "voting for a long time, and his lies can often be seen on foreign news portals". At the time, no one could have guessed that Krekó would say the following in Politico a year and a half later, last December: "The stakes are high enough, if you undermine people's willingness to get vaccinated, Orbán may bear the political consequences." Originally: " The stakes are pretty high," said Krekó. "If you undermine the willingness of people to vaccinate themselves, [Orbán] can suffer the political consequences."
A few days ago, Péter Krekó wrote another article, this time for the Paris-based Institutmontaigne.org website. He analyzes the consequences for Viktor Orbán and Fidesz of leaving the EPP faction. According to Krekó, "First of all, Fidesz is probably moving towards the fringes of the European party image, which Orbán would very much like to avoid (...) The fact that German companies are making a profit in Hungary does not mean that the German members of the European Parliament will save Fidesz. Orbán clearly wanted Fidesz to remain in the European People's Party, but he overreached himself (...) Orbán will now sit in a different group of the CDU-CSU, the current leading coalition party in Germany, so the relationship between the CDU-CSU and Fidesz will be more limited. (…) Fidesz's access to the European mainstream will be much more limited than before.
This will also affect Orbán himself. The prime minister always considered himself the black sheep: the tough guy sat at the good guys' table. Now he will sit at the table of tough guys who have very little influence on the EU's political decision-making , Krekó wrote. He then continued:
"The decision to leave the EPP (there is no such thing yet - ed.) transforms Fidesz's and the Hungarian government's stance on the EU at home as well. We can expect even more unabashed anti-Brussels rhetoric and a growing obstructionist attitude in the European Council on issues related to migration and foreign policy, including Russia, China, Turkey and Israel. But obstructionism has its limits: Hungary knows that if it angers the member states too much, then two-thirds of the member states can punish it through the conditions of the rule of law. (…)
The departure of Fidesz from the faction of the European People's Party may lead to a more vocal and combative Hungary, but paradoxically a less influential one. But fears of a possible Huxit are still overblown and overblown at this stage.”
It's interesting why this article appeared where it did. It has already been described several times that Political Capital is one of the sponsors of Soros's OSF (among several domestic sponsors). We did not find any such data on Institutmontaigne, which does not mean that they do not receive support from them, but not the opposite either. Anyway, we found this interesting article, according to which the Paris Institute and the Open Society Foundation were involved in a joint project, in which the two organizations commissioned renowned researchers to carry out in-depth surveys in local, "stigmatized" areas in France such as Clichy-sous-Bois and Monfermeil and Marseille. where the Muslim population is in the majority.
Their goal was the same: to thoroughly examine the experiences of Muslims in social change. What is very interesting: the investigation was started long before the start of the migration...
