Deutsche Linke wissen es schon wieder besser als die ungarischen Linken. Manchen würde es echt gut tun die eigene Arroganz abzulegen und sich mit Gegebenheiten vor Ort auseinanderzusetzen. Redet doch mal mit Ungar_innen. Vielleicht schon die letzten Jahre.

The blockade will of course drive up the price of oil and gas, probably surpassing $200/bbl, as well as fertilizer and other products... likely causing shortages.

Es gibt sie doch, die guten Nachrichten. "Bei der Wahl in Ungarn zeichnet sich eine Niederlage der regierenden Fidesz-Partei ab. Nach Auszählung von mehr als 65 Prozent der Stimmen liegt die Partei des Oppositionsführers Magyar deutlich vorn. Orban gestand bereits seine Niederlage ein"

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Bravo! Orban hat seinem Konkurrenten Magyar zum Sieg gratuliert. Ein rabenschwarzer Tag für Putin, Orban und die globale Rechte. Ein großartiger, historischer Moment für Europa, Ungarn und die Demokratie!

Peter Magyar sagt, sollte Tisza gewinnen, würde dies die Amtszeit des Premierministers auf zwei Perioden begrenzen. Er behauptet, es seien bereits rund 60 Berichte über Wahlbetrug eingegangen.

I’m shocked since we sent our best negotiators.

I know the running joke is that Rubio supposedly has multiple jobs but maybe he could try doing Secretary of State stuff once in a while.

More tomorrow. Goodnight.😴

The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden. You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
