Greetings, Yes the Hungarian people have spoken (at least the ones voted last Sunday) and left FIDESZ and Mr Orban at the helm with the coveted 2/3 majority. What this will mean for Hungary will be remains to be seen. In his speech Mr Orban claimed for Hungary the "Most united European country" title. I sure hope that it is on the FIDESZ agenda to; reduce the sales tax (AFA), tweak many laws and upgrade them from the 50's, realign themselves to be more like Austria during the "Cold War" and be "neutral" which will be hard etc. One interesting foot note: the socialists/communists did not fare well in the election. But they proved that they not only have poor political views but also they are "poor losers". Mesterhazi A., not only refused to congratulate the winner but had the goal of accusing the government of cheating. I guess the government also fooled all those official international observers. What a dummy! Stay tuned for the next four years!
