Hungary is now a parallel universe compared to many Western European countries. For example, the majority of Hungarians reject phenomena such as mass migration or early sexualization in schools. Hungarian voters confirmed the direction of Viktor Orbán's party with a clear majority, for the fourth time in a row. The German government could certainly learn a thing or two from the trained people, writes a German newspaper.

Germany always imagines that it can teach Hungary lessons about democracy. There is hardly any other European state where the atmosphere is as hostile towards a single opposition party as in the Federal Republic, when it comes to the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Even the smallest contact is considered unforgivable in this country, writes the German newspaper Junge Freiheit, which notes in its article that

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is already being slandered by the local mass media as a right-wing autocrat, even without cooperating with the AfD. The Hungarian ruling party Fidesz cannot afford to be too close to the party, the newspaper reports. Viktor Orbán also mentioned this in an interview with the Budapester Zeitung newspaper in the past few days. The Hungarian Prime Minister said that

It is a feature of German democracy that if we were to take steps regarding the AfD, it would have an impact on interstate relations. - declared Viktor Orbán, who also mentioned that the German intervention in Hungary's internal affairs - either directly or through the EU institutions - has now reached enormous proportions, reports the international news agency V4NA.

According to Junge Freiheit, Viktor Orbán's words prove that there is no close relationship between the two conservative forces, not because Fidesz is afraid of the reaction of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), with whom the Hungarian ruling party once had a very close relationship. According to the Hungarian Prime Minister, the parties have already parted ways.

The CDU goes its own way, which is not our way. From the Hungarian point of view, the CDU is now a left-wing party - the paper quotes Viktor Orbán as saying, and then recalls that while Fidesz is under enormous pressure from the German government in relation to the AfD, the social democratic-green-liberal German government coalition cooperates closely with the Hungarian opposition.

During the election campaigns, among others, the social democrat Katarina Barley, vice-president of the European Parliament, and Daniel Freund, the Green Party representative of the European Parliament, repeatedly expressed their support for the anti-Orbán alliance.

According to Junge Freiheit, this double standard is almost amusing in light of the fact that Germany, as the only guardian of democracy, educates Hungary and takes action against it.

However, Orbán does not need to be educated. He understands the tragedy of the Federal Republic better than he understands himself. Based on my conversations, it became clear to me again that Germany has become a multicultural society. This is no longer a question of a political agenda, but a fact

- writes the author of the article, who highlights that Hungary is now a parallel universe compared to many Western European countries. The country is a European stronghold.

There are no murderous knives or gang rapes. However, there is a high degree of consensus on several forward-looking issues. For example, the majority of Hungarians reject phenomena such as mass migration or early sexualization in schools. Hungarian voters confirmed the direction of Orbán's party for the fourth time in a row with a clear majority. Therefore, the German government could certainly learn a thing or two from the trained people - read the article of the German newspaper.
