The only thing I know about him is he was one of the few european leaders that was keeping his country from being invaded by third world invaders.
One problem the West is currently facing is that there just aren't many genuinely "good" men who have both the desire to enter politics AND have the stomach to enact the changes needed to preserve the civilization. Most of the people willing to do what is necessary are not particularly pleasant or noble and view the democratic process as a hindrance to the needed changes. They also tend to not be as qualified to actually govern so things like economic and foreign policy are often neglected and mismanaged.
To use our country as an example, daddy Bush had by far the best combination of personal virtue and governing talent/knowledge of any President in the living memory of anyone on this board. Had we followed him down the path he wanted to go down we would be so much better off today in almost every way as a nation. And now look how he is viewed in hindsight by most. Look what it got him.
A library at A&M and a road (Jersey) named after him?

You guys realize that the party that won is more anti inmigration than Orban right? It's not like the elected a bunch of libs.
They elected a guy who was part of Orban's party, married one of the most powerful women in his Cabinet, and then got pissed over the corruption and started a new center right party.
The elected party is anything but liberal…

Little different here. This guy has a long history of being anti immigration.
People weren't celebrating because of globalism and policies. It was purely TDS.

He's anti arming Ukraine through hand out EU funds and anti Ukraine fast track or anything but slow ass EU membership.
He's also supposedly speaking about unfreezing part of the money Hungary has held up for Ukraine that causes all the big ass stink about in europe BUT his condition for it being released is it must go to weapons purchases of items only we make. So that's a potential 100+ billion arms deal. That's a nice way to start a relationship w donald if you ask me. Refuse to send them cart blanche checks and equipment and make them pay for it as well. Don't stop the funds but ensure they're spent as marked.
Dudes supposedly a next level ocd anti corruption so he doesn't look at Ukraine and think "trust able".

Is it possible to conclude Orban was a corrupt Russia aligned autocrat and his ouster is on net a move in a positive direction for Hungary without believing they should be more like France, or do we just have binary choices here?
This is a victory for the EU, which is bad for Hungary. The EU wanted Orban gone. They are one of the few countries to reject the muslim & African migrants.

They know it means another Europan country will slide into the same mess as France, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the UK, which is the goal of the political left across the globe.

Huge win for the bureaucracy in Brussels and elites in Davos. Their interference and manipulation has worked on enough Hungarians. Now, no one in the EU can stand in the way of wide open borders. You don't tow the line, you'll be ousted by the bureaucracy withholding funds and media control influence. That's how democracy works!

Again, you guys must not follow politics that closely. The guy is not Orban but hes NOT a liberal. Hes a conservative through and through. He has a HUGE temper, he doesn't like gays, he doesn't like women in the work force and he HATES inmigrants. HATES THEM MORE THAN ORBAN.
The guy hasn't mentioned his positions because 85% of the media is controlled by Fides. He knew anything he said would be taken out of context.
The guys probably more hard line fides than Orban just less corrupt. This guy isn't john thune of Hungary. He's more like a less populistas JD Vance but still a dyed in the wool anti RUSSIA conservative. Hes not anti US hes anti Russia. Hes pro EU because he wants the money that's frozen. Once he gets that, he has no loyalty to them but hungry needs that money for their economy not to stagflate. Kudos
But the good news is there's a decade of him being part of Fides and his opinions haven't changed he just stopped broadcasting those that he knew would be taken out of context w the main stream media. Sound like someone from the US? Yup.
Also, he didn't found his political party. Hungary doesn't really have a liberal party. They have Fides they have t and they have far right. Before it was announced that he was joining T, most people thought his policies actually would out him closer to the far right BUT the far right party has ALOT of issues w the electorate and the way Hungary divides votes would have only entrenched fides even further. That's Why he joined a party. It was the only way for him to get into the W2024 euro parlamentar y elections so that's what he did. He out chessed Orban in a system Orban created to keep him in power.
You guys don't like That Orban got beat because Trump wanted him to win but you have to understand hngaro an politics before you rush to make a decisin.
Watch Over The next 6 months and Lets see how long it takes for DJT to embrace him and everyone on here to realize they're wrong.
Patience is a virtue. You'll all see.

My analysis of Hungary's new political landscape:

My analysis of Hungary's new political landscape:
This is the first time in Hungary's history when only 3 parties are represented in the Parliament and they all label themselves as 'right-wing'.
Tisza with 138 seats. The Tisza party will constitute a Supermajority. They market themselves as 'right-wing', however, they are pro-EU, made up of the remnants of leftists, and are in complete servitude of the EPP in the European Union.
Going future: They will have dominance and will be united on issues the EPP from Brussels demands of them. However, this party's biggest weakness is itself. With a recession looming, and they plan to carry a system level change in the middle of it. Their unity as a party will be interesting considering the different ideologies in this party, they were largely united on the anti-Orbn and anti-Fidesz rhetoric. But now he's gone, I would say Magyar Pter's personal opinion's of illegal migration will be ignored by his party members.
Fidesz with 42 seats. Orbn's party is 'right-wing' however, is the only legacy party from the 1990s left. They are pro-Family, pro-Christianity, and Sovereignty.
Going future: This was Orbn's biggest political loss. Many will put into question the future of this party now. It has its weaknesses. Largely it is said that most people in Hungary they don't like Fidesz but found it necessary to vote for them for key ideas. Fidesz carries a generational hatred since the 90s, as they were around when privatization occurred. Many Hungarians now were born to parents from the 90s who've had bad experiences with this party.
A reform is plausible for this party coming into the future. Or they can take advantage of the weakness of the Tisza party when the storm of issues come its way.
Mi Haznk with 6 seats. Toroczkai's party is a 'right-wing', they are the reason Fidesz was making its right-wing decisions. Toroczkai was the first to call the closing of the border for illegal migration in Hungary in 2014. They are pro-Family, pro-Hungarian and Sovereignty.
Going future: I would say his party has the most to gain from this. Most people voted for Fidesz because they were a reliable party in power. Many people of Fidesz are right-wing, it will not be hard for them now to see change is required in the right.
Interesting times are ahead in Hungary's politics.
