As is always mentioned when Hungary comes up, propaganda, botched voting, suppresion of opposing parties. Sadly a big percentage of the people easily believe it, mainly the elderly for whom the current government was deemed a saviour when the “regime change” took place back in 1989. That being said, pro-government and either directly or subtly pro-Russian narratives are the ones that get all the founding and get plastered everywhere on billboards and aired on as advertisements in the media, fabricated in a way so that it seems that these things are good for us. Non-government affiliated media has a very hard time fully spanning its wings and the application of military grade spyware (Pegasus) has also been an occurance amidst journalist who intend on shedding light on the corruption and atrocities of the current government. Young folk who are more educated have an easier time seeing through the lies and promises the government prognosticates. It was a devastating loss to many young Hungarians, counting myself, when in April the same government “somehow” got overwhelming support and won again instead of a pro-western person.
