El Pais writes about the ultranationalist Viktor Orbán in connection with the wet World Cup.
The Spanish newspaper believes that a series of improvisations led to the Budapest Aquatic World Cup starting on Friday. The El País published an article announcing the World Aquatic Championships starting on Friday in Hungary. They mentioned that this year promised to be a "drought" in terms of water sports until the beginning of February, when the "ultra-nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister", Viktor Orbán, offered the swimming pools to FINA to hold the summer world championships there.
It is believed that at that time a series of improvisations began on the part of the international swimming federation in order to start the sports competition on Friday, June 17 - the paper recalled what happened. All of this took place after the World Cup was finally scheduled to be held in July 2023 in Fukuoka, Japan, after three previous date changes, they wrote.
Here, we quietly smile that the very consistent liberals use nationalism as a curse word for Hungarians, while for Ukrainians, it is used as an aggrandizement.
