Corrupt Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz is trailing the opposition by 10–18 points, yet few believe he wouldn’t do whatever it takes to cling to power. Now he has backing from both Putin and Trump. A dangerous mix.

                                                                                                                                            Hard to keep up with the excuses coming these days from some Hungarian politicians and energy company managers about why Russian oil “must” flow through the Adriatic Pipeline.

                                                                                                                                            One day it’s capacity. The next it’s transit fees. Day three, it’s refinery compatibility. Day four, a sudden conversion - now there’s unexpected faith in the EU, together with dramatic threats. And then, my personal favourite: the “bad Croatian politicians” (not me, obviously – my naughty, naughty colleagues).

                                                                                                                                            At this pace, and given the strength of the arguments so far, I half expect the next round of complaints to be about the weather forecast at the oil terminal on Krk Island. Spoiler: it will probably rain, but it will still be better than in Moscow.

                                                                                                                                            Meanwhile, tankers keep docking in Krk. Compliant crude keeps unloading, and six more tankers are due in March. Oil aligned with EU sanctions and OFAC rules keeps flowing to our friends in Slovakia and Hungary. The legal, financial, political, and moral arguments are all on the side of such an approach.

                                                                                                                                            So what’s with all the panic? The Adria Pipeline is doing what pipelines do.

                                                                                                                                            P.S. As Yes, Minister would put it: “Only ministers panic about them.” And in politics, panic is so often just another name for vested interests under pressure.

One counter-protest was able to take place, while another, including a press conference, was stifled by the police.

                                                                                                                                              On Saturday, several thousand European right-wing extremists once again marched 60 kilometres for the “Day of Honour” from Buda Castle in the Hungarian capital to the village of Szomor.

                                                                                                                                              It is the highlight of the international neo-Nazi gathering initiated in Budapest in 1997 by the “Hungarian National Front”. This “escape march” commemorates the fallen soldiers of the Hungarian fascist Arrow Cross militia who fled the capital in 1945 ahead of the Red Army….‘
