Government: Hungary’s friends have won in the US midterm
All of Hungary’s friends have triumphed in the midterm elections in the United States, the Hungarian foreign minister said on Wednesday.
Péter Szijjártó noted that Idaho Senator Mike Crapo, and Congressmen Adrian Smith, Mike Kelly and Mike Waltz representing Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Florida, respectively, have won mandates in the vote.
Those US politicians stood firmly by Hungary when the Biden administration had terminated its tax treaty with the country “in response” to the government’s decision not to raise taxes, the foreign minister said.
“Our friends have assured me that if a Republican majority returns, they will also restore our bilateral tax cooperation. Congratulations!”

Worth taking a look at the New York Post front page – Murdoch paper, centre right bias. Not as optimistic:
“Don (the man who couldn’t build a wall) had a great fall – can all the GOP’s men put the party back together again?”.

Hungary’s friends? The republican party…who will not accept an election result unless they win,not very democratic but maybe this suits Orban.
Don’t know what news the government has been watching but the results weren’t that good. No red wave emerged, more of a trickle. Old Trump apparently had a right little hissy fit screaming at all and sundry including his wife!
@Norbert, yes saw the front page you mentioned. Quite a ridicule. The best of it is, it’s supposedly his favourite newspaper!
“Hungary’s friends” just lost the Senate……thank God!
