It has the same noblesse oblige stakeholders in the former British Empire has. So the Hungarian Conservative movement supported ideologically aligned groups elsewhere. Still does. The break with CPAC is just a consequence of understanding US conservatism is incompatible with European conservative views. I would not expect Hungary to break with its European brethren. Magyar is cut from the same cloth as Orban after all. |

Soros would be Biden's EDRI and CEP funding schemes, designed explicitly to advance their causes in Eastern European judicial systems and "democratic institutions". Hundreds of millions of dollars to advance the Soros playbook in multiple nations, including Ukraine and Hungary. |
