Oi, cunt

Time to raise taxes, take away more parental benefits, and force people to work more hours. Anything to avoid touching the thousands of billions of generational wealth the elite is sitting on in e.g. real estate. Keep up the good work, 3rd biggest economy of the world, you can make it to 10th in a few decades.

Love it. Who knew that the Estonian language is so kino

He said “Abszolút filmszínház” which means “Absolute movie theater”, a deliberate mistranslation of the original meme, which is how it’s used in Hungarian, adding another layer to the joke. Intentional mistranslation of memes is also a thing in other countries like Germany and Turkey.

Something that foreigners also find funny: “Magyar” literally means Hungarian, so yes, the country will have a PM called Peter Hungarian.

Peter Magyar promised to change the constitution and introduce an 8-year limit for the Prime Minister, thus making it impossible for Orban to make a Trumpish comeback. And I don’t see anybody within Fidesz that matches the voter pull of Orban.

Also, this was a true landslide - winning 2/3rds majority at 79.5% voter turnout, so the new government will be able to remove Orban’s puppets (e.g. SC, AG) and make the constitutional changes needed to strengthen democracy for the future.

Overall I’m quite optimistic for my country, even if conservative-centrist Magyar doesn’t match my views as a leftist, as he is definitely a democrat who wants to help his country.

Holy fuck, what a nuclear and spot-on quote. I’m definitely saving this one for later

Brainworm’s gotta eat

Yes. Few seats are close, but votes from abroad are counted when they arrive later, and those usually are not fans of Orban

Tbf this was a jawdropping surprise for us, but happy to take the win

Thanks for the assist!

Thank you! Absolutely incredible, 79.5% voter turnout - people really had enough of Orban

It’s unconsentual genital mutilation of babies, a beyond cruel excercise - unless there is a clear medical reason

WASHINGTON, April 8 (Reuters) - U.S. carmakers say rules under consideration by Brussels could keep full-size pickup trucks including the Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado and the Ram 1500 off European roads, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

Andrew Puzder, the U.S. ambassador to the bloc, told the Financial Times that the EU plans to change safety rules that could breach the spirit of the trade deal struck in August between the United States and the EU if they prevented some American vehicles from being sold in Europe.

The letter from the American Automotive Policy Council, which represents General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, noted the EU in August agreed to reduce or eliminate non-tariff barriers and provide mutual recognition of vehicle standards as part of the trade deal with the Trump administration.

The group said proposed changes to the EU’s Individual Vehicle Approval process would degrade access for U.S.-built vehicles sent to Europe. “As demand grows for certain vehicle types not commonly found in the EU, such as large pickup trucks the IVA program has been employed more frequently for those vehicles,” the letter said.

The automaker group noted an alliance of safety and green groups has been pressuring the EU “to end so-called ‘loopholes’ that allow large ‘American-style’ pick-up trucks to be sold in Europe.” Europe’s leading nonprofit clean transport and energy advocacy group, Transport & Environment, said large American pickups and SUVs accounted for 7,000 vehicle sales in the EU in 2024. The group has argued that allowing more U.S. SUVs and pickups “to be sold with far lower safety and air pollution standards would be a betrayal of all EU citizens.”
