World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He's up for reelection in April 2026, and he's going to lose badly as it looks like now. Orange line is his party. And this summary is skewed most likely and overestimates him, as it takes his own polls into account, you can see that big outlier orange dot over everything on the right. In the current fucked up system, a lead like this is almost enough to rewrite the constitution.
(Legend is a bit confusing, it's TISZA getting ahead, not MSZP, luckily.)
Hungary has hope now.

nothing is certain.
Look at what happened in the last 12 months in Canada, and how the Conservatives went from unbeatable, a 25-35% lead, to ultimatley losing
You're right, but I'll take this over anything in the past 30 years. And it will get messy, Orbán will not leave peacefully. But he is making mistake after mistake. These polls don't reflect taking the side of the losing Hungarophobic (no, really) Romanian Nazi presidential candidate Simion - TISZA leadership are literally walking 300km to Oradea from Budapest in a unifying gesture as we speak. And a lot of other things that have happened, like the recent scandal when it was revealed they were / are still trying to start an own invasion of Ukraine. Also Trump.
The DK for example just imploded and are likely to disappear. MM has conceded the election in advance in favour of TISZA.
That said, Orbán can and will change the election system in the coming year, and there is a lot of shit still coming. But something has broken in the system in Hungary in the past 6 months that can't be rebuilt as it was.
we were assuming that for how many cycles now?
