Viktor #Orban faces a high-stakes showdown as Peter #Magyar takes him on in one of Europe’s most consequential elections in #Hungary TODAY. A former ally-turned-rival Magyar has built a remarkable momentum, with polls placing him ahead of Orban. Yet victory may still prove elusive within a power structure designed to protect the status quo. #TheGlobalJigsaw examines the tilted playing field and the messages of #Fidesz and #Tisza

@fulelo It's too bad even if he loses and concedes he won't get the Gaddafi treatment

[fulelo@journa.host]

37.98% of voters have been to the ballot box by 11 AM CET - an all time record in #Hungary

@fulelo Your podcast on the elections and what is at stake is outstanding, even by Global Jigsaw standards.

[fulelo@journa.host]

66.01% at 1500 local - looks unprecedented

@fulelo I just checked it again. Now 74.23!

@fulelo Hooray! For Hungary! For Democracy! For EU!

@fulelo /JDV kiss of political death! Let’s hope their GOP political death touch continues for the US in November!

[fulelo@journa.host]

With 84% of votes counted Tisza 54% Fidesz 38% mi hazank 7%

[boby_biq@toot.community]

@fulelo 7.. Fuck

[jamesmarshall@sfba.social]

@fulelo considering that the new representation in Parliament is even more extreme than the voting percentages, I'm wondering if that was a backfire of all the gerrymandering Orbán did. (Gerrymandering requires making some district elections close, which can lead to losses in the event of a landslide.)
