Hungary's Orban says far-right AfD is the 'future of Germany'
-
Summary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, encouraged by Donald Trump’s return to power, hosted Germany’s far-right AfD leader Alice Weidel, calling the party the "future" of Germany.
He aims to unite Europe’s far-right in the EU Parliament and praised AfD’s anti-immigration stance. Weidel, in turn, lauded Hungary as a "role model."
AfD, polling at 21% ahead of Germany’s February 23 election, has gained mainstream recognition, with CDU leader Friedrich Merz breaking precedent by seeking AfD support in parliament.
Orban’s Patriots for Europe bloc seeks further far-right influence in Brussels.

Quoting Zhukov in a thread relating to Hungarian dysfunction, really? Why not see what Pol Pot thought about ophthalmology?

"Bärendienst", as in "A well meaning action that has unintended negative consequences"?

I'll take it!

And literally meaning "bear service", I think? That's hilarious. The most formidable beast of the wilds of Europe, simply a bumbling little guy always making things worse when they try to help

What do the nazis thought of central Europeans? This would only be survival instinct to never ally with them

Weren't Nazis also central Europeans?

Germany is typically classified as Western European so no.

They thought the same stuff about Jews and Salvic people so, and usually, Germany is considered western Europe

It's literally a German concept, https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitteleuropa

it's from an 1800 year old Indian fable about a bear who crushes his friend's skull with a rock in an attempt to kill an annoying fly.
many european languages seem to have the expression.

Yeah, the whole of the EU knows Hungary is our corrupt little member.
This might make some far right wingers realize that fascism is only good for the powerful and wealthy.

only if you assume their Nazi problem ever went away

Both are the human equivalent of loud wet sharts.

I am not sure, they delineated based on race not necessarily nationality, they hated Slavic people but Hungarians are not Slavic.
All in all, Hitler gave back territory lost in WWI to Hungary, so I think they just didn't care.
Fuck Hitler, Szálasi and Horthy with a spiky stick though.
