Background info about that party:

  • This is not Orban’s Fidesz party and currently not involved with the country’s government.

  • However: In the 2022 parliamentary election, the party surpassed the 5% threshold to enter parliament, winning 6 seats and forming the second largest faction in the Hungarian Parliament. –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Homeland_Movement

    Orban also made it obvious, walking about with a t-shirt showing a map of ‘make hungary great again’.

    I’m not defending Orban, I was just clarifying that this specific piece of news is not about an official government statement but about a different party that’s also in the national parliament.

      Indeed, and it’s good you clarify this. Handy to have a crazier fringe party to publicly open such topics.
