I understand that most people don’t know anything about Hungary’s history, culture or politics – it’s small and doesn’t matter much. But media coverage has confused matters. “Small country has election”, or “small country has new constitution” doesn’t make for a thrilling read, so there will always be a preference in the newspapers for the “rise of the far-Right” headline (the far-Right, curiously, has been rising everywhere in my lifetime without getting anywhere) or “democracy under threat”. However, despite the Fidesz leadership stating practically every day for eight years that they will have nothing to do with Jobbik, the party with far-Right elements, they are constantly being accused of cosying up to them (Fidesz, incidentally, has three Roma MPs). The far-Right is nowhere near power in Hungary and blaming Orbán for the existence of unsavoury elements in the Hungarian parliament is like blaming Cameron for the BNP MEPs.
