      Eh, Viktor’s continuous rein can be thanked to a multitude of reasons, amongst which voter fraud will undoubtedly turn out to be whenever those files become public! But the gist of it is:

      -He took over at a time political chaos, when the coalition parties (which won almost every election until then) of the left sabotaged themselves to get rid of their leader, Ferenc Gyurcsány, who in turn sabotaged his party and coalition. From the chaos Viktor emerged with absolute mandate (over 51% of the votes) and immediately used to gerrymander the country to the point when in the last election cycle he received over 70% of parliamentary seats with only 43% of the votes! -He also made the parliament right of overseeing public constructions useless (he made donations to sport teams a legit expense), the laundered money then found its way back to the party which was used to buy out every TV news channel. Giving them the power to largely control the narrative. -But perchance the largest reason was, that until now we didn’t really have a leader of the opposition! The before mentioned endless funds were used to buy the rising political leaders or their teams, and the before mentioned news empire was used to destroy the reputation of any contendor. Peter Magyar, the now leader of the largest opposition party, is kinda foolproof in this way as he was the past husband of the former minister of justice (Varga Judit)! Virtually being a party member until very recently gives him the armor of:”Your former party member did whaaaat?”, limiting the Fidesz-s ability to fabricate a proper hate campaign ag his name
