Pragmatic Relations

I want pragmatic relations with Russia, said Magyar. Europe and Kiev might be deprived of illusions

So, a lot of hopes are put into in this Magyar geezer, he is hopefully going to beat Orban, who has been prime minister since like forever, and who is like not pro-Ukrainian enough. Personally, I don’t trust any politician, especially not before elections, and pragmatic relations can really mean anything. But Europe puts hope in this guy that he will more pro-Ukrainian. At this point, you can do whatever as a politician in Europe but being not pro-Ukrainian enough is a heresy. And that’s why Orban needs to go, he tried to think pragmatically.

I am not speaking here about the Hungarian people, apparently Orban has run a bit of a shitshow of crony capitalism and fake conservatism. And I pretty much get the Hungarians that they might be tired of this.
