Honoured to join the farewell lunch of 🇪🇸 Ambassador Alfonso Dastis, hosted by 🇧🇪 Ambassador Jeroen Vergeylen in Budapest. A wonderful occasion to celebrate a remarkable diplomatic career - including his time as Spain's Minister of Foreign Affairs - and a true friend of European cooperation.

In the US & Europe we only hear how "successful" Orban's democracy-ending playbook is. Not enough about how it inevitably leads to decay of living standards and public disaffection. Thanks

Very few following in Hungary’s footsteps are willing to recognize the long-term outcomes of a deteriorating economy, crumbling basic services and a soured public.

“The real opponent of Orbán is Hungary’s cost-of-living crisis.” In Szabolcs Dull's podcast, I argued: if the campaign is about social reality, Péter Magyar & Tisza have the edge. Fidesz’s strategy? A “we could live worse” narrative. 🎥 Full interview:
