Coming off a fresh landslide victory in Hungary’s April elections, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party have drawn conservatives from across the world to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest, with many of them looking to Hungary for answers to the challenges facing Western civilization and an increasingly dominant left.
A Russian oligarch with close ties to the Kremlin confessed to a Western colleague that Vladimir Putin is ‘very ill with blood cancer’, it has been claimed.
Hungarian government officials have hit back at allegations made by the Ukrainian government that Hungary had been tipped off by Russia about its intention to invade Ukraine, slamming the suggestion as “fake news” and suggesting Ukraine is bitter about its neighbor’s decision not to ship weapons to the war-torn country.
Some European conservatives cultivated a relationship with Russia over the years, not necessarily because they loved the country, but because they saw it as a potential hedge against a dominant liberal Brussels.
