how corrupt is he?
all I know is that the district he was mayor of is a shithole
He is deeply involved with parking mafias in Zuglo
it's where the hourly hotels are iirc
Zuglo train station is also known as the Lépratelep
lol
lol I'm pretty sure I've seen that station a few times coming in and out of Nyugati
in good news, PiS won the Polish election
though I'm surprised KP and Confederation managed to sneak into parliament
they were both consistently polling below the threshold
I'll put it like this, I walked back from the pub
I counted 18 posters for Karacsony
And 0 for Tarlos
3 overall for Fidesz
1 for Puzser
sounds like they just dropped the ball and assumed they would win
Puzser ran from microdonations
Either that or they decided to give up a bit to let the opposition fuck up in public, a bit of stage time to show people how they fail
Again, people are forgetting why the Opposition was so disliked, a few of them have not had the chance to fuck up at all because Fidesz has been in power for so long.
there's really not any good information about this in English
even the nationalist/right-wing Hungarian sources really aren't that good
I love Mariann Ory but Magyar Hirlap's English-language coverage is terrible
I know quite a bit because the guy in 3rd place is actually a friend of mine
and my Hungarian is regressing fast
really?
interesting
Yes, I know Puzser Robert in person
yep just checked, Magyar Hirlap purged their entire English-language section
funny, an investor approached me over a year ago about launching an English-language portal for V4 news
I turned him down because it would just be a money sink
There is no money. I don't read them because they are all fed with propaganda money from either side
You get all water and no meat on that soup
yeah that's what I told the investor
Visegrad Post ran out of money in 2017 and had to fire everyone
now they just run badly-translated opinion pieces
People don't read them to get informed, they read it to assure they are right, and that market is full on both sides
I tell people the same thing when they ask me if I'm going to report on the 2020 presidential election
there's no way for me to do it without a big paycheck and no one's going to give that to me
unless I sing their tune
