#SeeItSayItIgnoreIt: Rape as “Non-Emergency”

Why Did Viktor Orbán Win Again In Hungary?

This latest triumph of Fidesz, the fourth time it achieved a two-thirds victory, may further corroborate theories that Orbán’s Fidesz was to become the centrist party of a new era, to remain in power for an extended period of time, continuing the Hungarian political historical tradition.
