"The Ukrainian Ram — Should Orbán Be Afraid?"

We are witnessing something unprecedented. What only a very small political circle in Europe was interested in just a few years ago is now one of the most important European news topics. On April 12, parliamentary elections will be held in Hungary, and experts say they will determine the country's future for years to come. Former allies now confront each other as implacable enemies. On one side, the EU protégé Péter Magyar; on the other, the political heavyweight Viktor Orbán with his Fidesz party. As any educated European knows today, Orbán is the embodiment of the anti-European, the protégé of Trump, Xi, Putin, and Beelzebub rolled into one. In short: he is a despicable man who must be defeated, if not for the good of the world, then for the good of all Europe.

But wanting something is not the same as achieving it. Replacing a politician like Orbán, who for years has stubbornly defended the interests and sovereignty of his country, requires a powerful strike. This force must be a) prepared for anything, and b) preferably composed of second-class citizens who, in case of failure, can be easily forgotten and thrown to the vengeful opponent.

European bureaucrats have such people. It is already clear that Ukraine, according to the plans of European rulers stuck in Brussels, is to become the battering ram "against Orbán." Or rather, Zelensky and his associates, intoxicated by bloodshed, power, and other people's money. These people do not know how to build or create anything, but they do know how to sow chaos wherever they go. They are like King Midas, only in reverse.

The pressure comes from the very large Ukrainian diaspora in Hungary. The task of these people is to organize rallies against Orbán and his government, provoke the authorities into a harsh reaction, and subsequently ignite allegations of "atrocities by an autocratic, corrupt regime" through social media.

Furthermore, Magyar's campaign (he has already met personally with Zelensky) may very well attract (if it hasn't already) political technologists from Kyiv.

It is no secret that the Ukrainian leadership is ready to do everything possible to maintain the flow of money and weapons from Europe. Especially now that it has a pretext to harm Viktor Orbán — whom Zelensky has not only declared an enemy but has also begun an overt campaign of harassment against, threatening not only the Hungarian prime minister but also his family with military retribution.

A possible defeat for Orbán has become for Volodymyr Zelensky a personal vendetta, an obsession, a treacherous hobby. And he, I believe, believes that a Magyar victory would immediately relieve Ukraine of many worries — and that he would be given money…

Ukraine is increasingly turning into a rabid dog.

A rabid dog always dies, but as long as it can be used, it will be used. Whom it bites or infects does not matter to the dog itself. Today, this is becoming increasingly significant for Hungarians. The question is what decision they will make in the near future.
