My congratulations to Péter Magyar on his resounding election win in Hungary against Viktor Orbán. A powerful moment for Hungary and for democratic values in Europe.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him. Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system. A 16-year chapter is over.

💥Polls closed in Hungary. No exit poll, but 21 Research Institute’s Apr 8–11 exclusive survey for @telexhu.bsky.social shows the opposition Tisza party leading Orbán's Fidesz 55–38, with the far-right Our Homeland around the 5% threshold. Tisza is on the verge of a parliamentary supermajority.

Or listen to the other Béla: Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra expresses both anti-fascism and nostalgia for the composer's Hungarian homeland. Also just a kickass work of classical music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfSb...

Yesterday I deleted my personal Facebook and Instagram accounts. I messaged a friend to say I was doing so and to get me via text if they needed me. Their response was that me doing so was meaningless in the whole scheme of things. That may be true but it's not meaningless to me. 1/3

Quando si diceva che votare il "meno peggio" porta la destra, ci veniva risposto "no, al contrario, altrimenti vince la destra". Dopo anni di voto utile c'è l'estrema destra un po' ovunque. Ma invece di far autocritica i paladini del meno peggio e del voto utile insistono.
