    Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, one of a dwindling number of left-leaning voices in Europe

    I didn’t know there were any left. Good job, Spain!

        Don’t get too excited. Yes, it’s a split from Orban and Magyar is more pro-EU, but Tisza (the new party) is a splinter group from Fidesz (Orban’s party) and share many of the same views domestically.

        Basically, same far right people but willing to stfu to get access to EU funds again.

          I haven’t looked into it too much myself but that would still be a pretty good improvement since the new party would probably approve more bills that hungry is currently blocking if they didn’t then they still wouldn’t get funding

      I’m all for the move, and I’m definitely a progressive, but I think it’d be good for people to understand that Sanchez is no Idealist. The man is a party rat, and all his moves are calculated to keep himself in power.

      As I said, I agree with the move, but the motivation is not what people think it is.

      I guess it’s the broken clock thing.
