I don’t Like Mr. Orban but I agree with some of his ideas. Another thing the Eu always talk about ,Hungary getting oil from Russia. Hungary is a landlocked country, Hungary have a pipeline ,what they expect,not to use it ?
The crime stats don't lie. Poland, Hungary and other Eastern European nations made the right decision when it came to rejecting mass immigration, putting their own cultures and peoples well being first.

I don't agree with Orban's policy, but this is the first time I agree with Orban regarding immigration.Countries that allowed immigration to bear the consequences.
Countries signed the UN asylum treaty (including Hungary) No country is "allowing immigration" most countries work according to the treaty and their independent rule of law. Immigration is not bad per se for a country, Europe would have been bankrupt long ago as too little people are born to sustain the economies in European countries, governments walk a fine line between the population that want less immigration and companies that are screaming for more (cheap) labour. Hungary does the US-way of cheap labour, just make 1% extremely rich, and the rest of the country gets poor and is willing to work for close to nothing just to stay alive. And Orban gets his votes because the 99% of people are afraid their life will be even worse with immigrants coming to their country that will steal their jobs. ps. Would you clean toilets for a living? do you know any people who would?
One could not just stay inside eu and veto everything, do whatever he wants veto everything and ask the others to pay without questioning his violation. There are rules. You don't like it, you go.

It is very interesting that you create such a report without even trying to show a balanced view. Normally you would voice opponents as well as people in favour of a leadership. The way you structure videos like this shows you have a clear agenda and you are not even technically try to show any truth.
But it's true, isn't it? Orban is looking east and despices the west, except for the money. He takes the EU hostage in decision making in alliance with Poland and maybe now with Slovakia. A friend of Putin and Erdogan. We can't trust him. This can't be good for Hungary. Don't complain about a missing balanced view when Orban is just simple and clear with his statements.
There is no truth other than Orban receives 5 times the amount that he puts on the table, and he uses his position as a member to get more and more in a sistematic way,
For me, the Dutch elections show that people want to get rid of left-wing ideology, and maybe Orbán is on the right track to making the right choice for all countries.
Geert Wilders only got 21,85% of the total votes and right now, it's very unlikely, that he can form a government - which is not suprising at all. Netherlands is not Hungary, where Orban can win 2/3 majority with only 3 million votes out of 7,8 million.
Dutch case is completely different, Orban is just corrupt autocrat, anti immigration and nationalist rhetorics is only a tool in his agenda to brainwash population and to stay in power. In Netherlands mass immigration has became a real problem to some extent, so it's reflected in the outcome of elections
So because he's not a sheep and says his own opinion and thoughts he's now a bad guy? What the heck is wrong with everyone who says that here? Ever heard of democracy? Everyone has a right to have his own opinion about issues, and that goes for EU members.
You can both use your rights to freedom of speech AND be a bad guy doing it... Its like when Trump says he will be ''dic.t.ator but just for one day!''. That's also freedom of speech... but see the problem with certain opinions and thoughts??
Europe has failed time and time again to understand that money is not everything. Ideologies, fanaticism, are very powerful realities and they cannot bring themselves to deal with those effectively.
So you turn tu russia? the same russia allied with iran (where teens are killed for not covering hair) and north korea? Man, Orban is just a thief, there is nothing more to that. I hope Hungary greate people gets rid of him.
🤔 Then perhaps it's time for EU West to stop bailing out Hungary and Turkiye's failing economies with billions/yearly. Let them get help from Russia and China. As for friendship, let's see how kindly any of those lily white countries will stoop down to actually mixed breed with Chinese or African countries.
You do realize that Putin, Xi Jinping and any other dictator does it out of pure greed right? They don't believe what they spout, the only thing that matters to them is that they are in the power. They will say and do anything to keep themselves there. Orban is doing, what is he doing, because he knows that under a democracy, he would be replaced sooner or later...
You have zero understanding of Hungary if you unironically assume that the average voter for Orbán's party is anyhow politically aligned. A small portion of them really is, but the majority is just cleverly manipulated apolitical masses.
This is outrageous, Hungarians do not want to be replaced by arabs and africans in their Hungary! Why not take example from Germany, having already 3,000,000 Turks and inviting 4,000,000 more.

@@mrm3800I am an outsider who studies this topic. I’m curious what are some general Hungarian views on their origins? From my genetic research the Hungarians migrated from the Urals and the Szekely are Huns as well
@@EzraBenKhazar what you've wrote is generally accepted, but there is no definite clear answer. It's still open research and there are several debated theories.
The Hungarian tribes were living at one time in the Khazar Khaganate, until they were pushed westwards. Some of the Khazar tribes joined them, so indeed, Hungarians are partly Kazakh too.
@@EzraBenKhazarHere is a hungarian view for you. The origins of the hungarian nation pretty much far from the present population composition of Hungary. The hungarian language is Finno-Ugric - so relating with Finn, Estonian and north-east European smaller folks. (Manshi, Khanti, Mordvin etc.). This is the core of the hungarian language - our basic words coming from the Finno-Ugric root. Hungarian or "Magyar " tribes moved to South of Ural and migrated to West through 500 years. During this period Hungarians met with turkish folks, and few of them melted into the hungarian tribe. The Hungarians who arrived to their present place in the 9th century weared turkic clothes, used turkic war strategy and tribunal system, turkic names. After Hungary decided to baptize to christianity, the western impact became determinative. During the 1000 years long history so many invasions, resettlements, war happened in the territory of the country, the uralic population melted into the big central european genetic pool. This mean the genetical map of present Hungary very similar to the Austrian genetical map. Present Hungarians keeping their unique culture, holding Eastern and uralic impacts (for example the pentatonic folk music), and holding a unique Hungarian spirit. Meantime the present Hungarians a descendants from slavic and german people - this visible in their outlook and characteristic. According to the DNA map, the Hungarians mostly Celtic R1b (27%), Slavic R1a (25%) and Germanic I1 (21%) and South Slavic I2a (14%). As you see 87% of the present hungarian population holding this very european genetic admixture. Orbán's himself has austrian ancestry. So you can see that in Hungary the cultural heritage and the very strong spirit survived the times, meanwhile the genes are not! This is based on the Hungarian language, as we saying "The nation living in it's language!"....
3:29 - Yeah, and there were no "how to prepare for freezing to death" types of demonstration films here. So it is interesting that while the criticism is sharp in terms of how low the salaries are (I would note that there are more German / English / French / American and so on owned employers in the country than Hungarian ones), they expect us to give up the cheap and reliable energy source for an unpayable (at least x 5) cost and uncertain origin. So we should to practically replace the Russian gas and oil, which reliably arrives via pipeline with an American source, which arrives from the other side of the world to ports that Hungary does not have, and pipes, which ends at the national border, because our dear western neighbors didn't really care about building the right european infrastructure for the untermensch of central Europe. And just because Putin so and so, and for the holy Ukraine, where, by the way, one year after the outbreak of the war, in the former Hungarian territories (National minority areas in Ukraine inhabited by Hungarians), statues of Hungarian origin are torn down by Ukrainians and Hungarian schools are forbidden to speak in Hungarian. It was probably the most important thing they had to do besides the war... How interesting, how interesting. Of course, the list could go on and on... and if I feel like it and have time, I'll share a few thoughts, because it is more than likely that in the west, which is full of freedom of speech, such stories are not heard by the dear audience, because such excellent channels like this somehow don't like to share...
don't care much for orban, but this dw report makes me agree with some of his points, odd really. sees like that no country has a right to follow their own way. you must obey the eu way, which doesn't work.
There are basic principles on the separation of power, meant to safeguard democracy as well as some basic principles of human rights that the EU demands of it’s members. Hungary has been dancing on the gray line and increasingly stepping out of line. The EU is a club of liberal democratic countries, set up to try and prevent the kind of horrors that happened during the first and second world wars. When a member starts flirting with authoritarianism then the EU has full rights to pressure their member to comply. If the country doesn’t like it, it can leave the club. Brexit has demonstrated that no one is forced to be a member of this club if they don’t want to. It would be a shame if Hungary decides that they would prefer to be outside, but at the same time, if they keep moving further in this authoritarian direction and don’t leave the EU, I think they should be kicked out.
It’s not about migration. Orban selling citizenship to anyone. Nobody wants to stay in Hungary even Hungarians. Orban built a softish little Russia within the EU this is the most terrifying thing.
@@sgjoni Somehow Orban is attached to Putin, as this would be the case...in fact Hungary nad Orban did huge effort to safeguard democracy, the communist era inherited constitution was trashed, and new baselines considered. What one can see now, is clearly a political game between left and right wing in the EU. As you said, EU has left wing, Hungary elected right winged government, and since 2010, Orban is the pm again and again. But it can change, as free will election is provided really. Left wing is not so favorable to the majority in Hungary because of Gyurcsány Ferenc, who has failed as he admitted (in a closed party) they were cheating at everytimes, and in every possible ways during their reign, just to keep the power, and get more money from the system to their hands, meanwhile driving Hungary to bankruptcy.... Left wing can say, "ohh there is still the leaders are stiling money", but yet the country at least doing well, and ppl know, all on high level would still money, so whatever.... Basically no human rights or whatsoever is in danger in Hungary, this are left wing bullshits....as this "report" also false...Hungary did all the structural changes what EU wanted, still no money from EU. This is the game, aiming to have leftists in rule of Hungary, nothing else.... Ohh Orban and Putin....clear economic relation, as Hungary depending on Russian energy historically, but Hungary already started to working on the separation from Russian energy....But still, you would not find it in left winged media emphasized...
The usual "balanced" view of the german state-funded media. And it wasn´t "Orbán throwing a party", that´s the way Hungary as a state and as a nation celebrates it´s jubileum, it was that way even under communist regime!
I never understood the friendship between Poland and Hungary, a neutrality makes more sense. While Poland is full of great and good people, Hungary is full of trolls and good people.
why would there be a special bond? the two countries are historically and culturally very separate. hungary used to form an imperial state with austria, and they once or twice occupied poland or parts of it for a little while, but who hasn't? in the 20th century, poland went into WW2 as territory divided between germany, austria-hungary and russia, and got I think its second go of independence afterwards. in WW2, hungary was allied with germany. both poland and hungary were eastern bloc members, but hungary functioned more independently and more open to the west in trade and travel than most eastern bloc countries, whereas poland was almost as much of a puppet state as east germany. hungary has more historic ties to austria and to the balkans than to poland. in language, hungary is extremely distinct, as hungarian together with finnish and estonian form the finno-ugric languages, which originate in the ural mountain region of today's russia and are not part of and are highly distinct from the indo-european languages spoken by basically everyone else in europe. not only is polish more similar to other slavic languages like czech or russian than it is to hungarian, but it's also more similar to german, portuguese, swedish, farsi, or hindi.

Mainly people who got to the point where they are financially free in Hungary, but would not be in Germany etc., some for political reasons, some because want to live a richer life on his/her pension, some just want to be able to live from the pention., some for sense of safety.. very diverse bunch of people..

Lol.. he is leader of his country and answerable to his people, he can choose to be friends with anybody for the benefit of his people. It is interference from other countries that is the cause of conflicts, prime example is Ukraine. Despite Zelensky voted on a peace ticket to reconcile essentially a civil war, he signed on instead to NATO funded proxy war.
ever heard of sphere of influence? you can't do business with a hostile country that played the major role in forming the military alliance you're in. isn't that a bit weird? he can make business with so many other countries, why the invader Putin?

What world do you live in, what reality? I want you and your Asian children to experience everything that Ukrainians experience. And I would sit on the couch looking smart and writing messages on RU-vid.
We, Ukrainians, have been defending our freedom, territory, the right to rule on our own land, the right to exist and other sovereign rights from Russia since 2014, when Russia treacherously attacked, violating our agreements (Treaty on the State Border, Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation , Budapest Memorandum and others). Ukraine has never attacked anyone and has never been an empire in history. Zelensky, the composition of parliament, all previous presidents and parliaments came to power democratically, that is, they were elected. Yes, we still have a strong oligarchic influence, there are problems with corruption, but if you look at the trend, you will see progress (largely thanks to the European vector). For 300 years in the Russian Empire (and then the USSR, remember Holodomor), the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian identity were infringed on at the state level, but now we have strong support in the world and we will not give up the right to our own national state, for which we fought for so long.

It's kinda funny when you accuse Hungarian government of "interfering with public education". If there is a few sectors state absolutely needs to interfere then it's a public schooling
Lol as someone who went to state school in Orbanistan I can tell you that they absolutely need more interference.. just not in the education material, but financial aid. Most schools in Hungary (esp. rural) are collapsing, rundown and sometimes dangerous. In my elementary school once the walls were soaked after a heavy rainstorm and it was dangerous to turn on the lights :)
Status on Hungarian public schools: in our middle school our kids had to bring their own toilet papers. We had to photocopy the history textbook for the entire class. There was no art class. But the kids were happy, because what is sold to the public and the EU as education was actually a good time for them. The teachers let them play on their phones the entire day.

I like how you depict Hungary as an "extreme outlier" in terms of energy dependence while multiple EU countries are renewing their resources purchaises from the russians. Such a shield tactic.
The EU does not speak with one voice in foreign policy since there is no common mandate. There are 27 sets of member state ambassies in all countries around the world. So the EU should not expect Hungary to behave as if foreign policy is a common EU mandate.

I moved to Hungary 7 years ago from Sweden. And what I can say is that I respect Hungary's stance towards the EU. The EU has assumed the role of a dictatorship over the member states' own governments. We didn't hear a word about that in Sweden before the referendum on membership. And as far as I know, there are probably not many countries where the people have had their say about the EU becoming a government over the popularly elected governments. Here in Hungary the people were asked to give the EU an extended power over the member states and people and the government said NO. So the people of Hungary have Democratically said NO to it. And the EU must curse me if they now want to appear democratic. Then NATO. It is about Ukraine and sending weapons and money there. Money that largely ends up with the profiteer in death. And that the taxpayers have to pay. An almost foolproof business idea.

The problem with Hungary there is no alternative on the left side which could replace Orbán. If there would be a party with left values but not supporting the migration.

Yet the UK is more capable than Hungary in managing these factors.

We came to a decision on false principles" Arthur Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of the U.K.: "The result of the Treaty of Trianon in Europe is not peace, but the fear of another war."
Yes, but I need to ask the question: Is it that all EU leaders are making a mistake and Hungary is right alone? EU politics is worse than Azerbaijan or Turkey?
@@sebipayne That's the problem with you, you want to live here and there, always where it's better... and we like to live where our roots tie us! Where our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents lived and sacrificed their blood and work so that we could have something! I know this is hard for your kind to understand! But that's your problem!
You forgot to mention the results of the national consultations in all the major issues that concern the Hungarian people. I wish other countries would follow this practice. For example, Switzerland has tradition for centuries to ask its people. Well, that's democracy. Rule of majority...
Your very selective choice of Hungarian political commentators is clear as to the intentions you set out to present and to say about Orban Viktor. What is said has more to do with attacking Orban on personality traits and "European Norms", which are never defined. The sour grapes taste comes through in your commentators' declarations.
Aaah. Because of graft and corruption in Hungary and failure on human rights reform. If Hungary wants the benefits the EU, then obey the rules. Otherwise, rejoin the Soviet bloc.
How dear you, Mr. Orban, you didn't invite French President Emanuel Macron and German chancellor Mr. Scholz to your party. Didn't you think that you were going to hurt their feelings?
Orban may not be a nice guy, but he's definitely a good leader. Something the EU, the US and the UK simply don't have! His job is to take care of his country and his people and that means making sound economic deals and diplomatic engagement with strategic partners. The EU and the West as a whole have become a pathetic Middle school garage band rather than a group of countries actually engaged in conducting pragmatic International Relations.
A good leader doesn't steal the money of his own taxpayers, makes his superdumb ex-schoolfriend and his relatives the richest ones of the country while making fool of and manipulating the uneducated millions through the state-owned media. If Putin is a good leader than orban is as well..
The EU has waged a culture war against Hungary and tried to force the country to accept their immigration policy. This has backfired hard on the EU leaders.
As a Hungarian I can tell you that Mr. Orbán's policies are serving the Russian Empire and not our country. The founding father of our nation, Saint Stephen of Hungary was very much pro immigration. He had an immigrant wife and he wrote in his instructions to his son that a country with just one language is weak. The ethno-fascist so called "conservatives" are not real Hungarians.
Germany has long been trying to enforce that nobody is "out of step" of its marching. Should be enough of the "One EU, One Thinking, One von Leyen" attitude! Germany will never learn?
You do know germany lost the war right. Charlotte knobloch said in the budestag. You lost the war you will continue to fight for your germany and we will keep fighting for our germany. So now you know the trouble germany has. She is israelis
@@enibedmo I think it would be more interesting to hear why is hungary choosing an other path in global politics, maybe they see other problems with european politics, that germany, and other big EU countries are ignoring. Like demographics, familie values, future Outlook for industry. in stead of labeling someone as bad and irrational, its more intresting to try to understand. By the way: Its not smart to casualy insult highly intelligent thinkers, with such a big audience who knows them well. It sounds like a fool calling J.B Peterson a "out right " person. "famous for calling people without children, mentaly ill". Do your homework DW🤣
@@herrevenreven Attila, this is what I do, I try to understand. Especially I try to understand how is that a country like Hungary, located in the heart of Europe, evolved in a such terrible way in the last years. It's mind-blowing for me, honestly. "An other path" are the lyrics of the songs Putin, Xi Jinping, Trump, Lukashenko and guys like them are singing. This is the Hungarian way? Hand in hand with Putin, Xi, Trump and "things" like them?
@@nyali2 I think it is a sad change in politics in all around the world. Politicians refuse to accept interview request from non-friendly media. Fidesz is in the forefront on this as they stopped to accept invitation from independent media for more than a decade ago.
No, he can do this because Hungarian people let him. High time we stop expecting outsiders to save us when it's our responsibility to chose our leaders
@@Blanka1100 that is untrue. Your government has publicly pulled military aid to Ukraine and the truckers have boycotted supplies. Stop spreading misinformation.
Not true. Poland and Slovakia - together with Hungary - supports Ukraine. Just because Poland stopped supporting Ukraine with weapons and that Slovakia and Hungary has horrible leaders (Fico and Orban), it doesn't mean, that the countries themselves are not pro-Ukrainian. Don't equalise whole countries with just their leaders. I'm Hungarian, but I hate Orban and Putin + I support the EU and Ukraine.
Be specific, when you talk about Orban's corruption say exactly what it is, like you are specific about other issues. Don't just generalize. That is unfair and hypocritical. It seems that you are using the word corruption to get people to oppose Orban, without providing any evidence.
Orban is a very smart politician who plays both sides to his country’s advantage. Good for him. Hungary is reaping all the benefits by not getting involved in the detrimental sanctions.
20% inflation and a $180 billion GDP? Ya, Hungary's doing great!!! LOL. Are you high on PCP? Apple the iPhone makers has twice the GDP of Hungary, and that's just one American business.
Definition of West Democracy, I define for you rules to follow and if you don't I will sanction you. To me Mr Orban is a very strong leader and leaders like hime will rise, wait and see truth will win hypocrisy. Slovenia is another example
And still, Slovenia is happy to take billions every year from these "Western Democracies"... why? To weak alone, aren't we? 😆 Also: The rules apply to all member states - if you don't follow them, then that's on you, not the others.
