Bloomberg has come up with an amazing theory that is not at all in keeping with the democratic principles announced above.
The leaders of the European Union would remove Viktor Orbán from the leadership of Hungary, but if the ally of the Hungarian Prime Minister, Donald Trump, were to return to the White House again, they would not be able to do so.
"After the elections in Poland, there is hope for European democracy again, but Hungary is still in the grip of the pro-Russian dictator, Viktor Orbán," claims the author of the opinion piece published in Bloomberg.
Max Hastings believes that right-wing politics on the continent has been transformed, it no longer resembles the extreme nationalist movements of the past, and its advance is due to social media, in which it is easy to spread fake news.
The journalist stated that there are those who hope that Viktor Orbán will fail under the pressure of the leaders of the European Union, but there is only a chance for this if Donald Trump is not re-elected as president, because Trump and Orbán have a great relationship with each other.
"If Trump is back in the White House, he will almost certainly try to help out his friend from Budapest," writes Hastings, who also claims that representatives of populism are exploiting the fears of people who are worried about immigrants, for example.
This is interesting because, meanwhile, even in Germany, they are increasingly dealing with the idea of how to deport migrants.
