Orbán’s closest political advisor will help Trump win the presidency?

Árpád Habony and Csaba Faragó, the foreign affairs director of Századvég have been operating Századvég in several countries, such as Serbia, Slovakia, Poland, and the United States. Political powers sympathetic to Viktor Orbán have increasingly relied on advice from Habony and his team in recent European elections. Where could you have heard of these advisors being involved before and what country seems to be the next on their list?

Slovakia and Fico

The organisation appeared in the Slovakian elections too. Habony first appeared last year around Peter Pellegrini’s party, Hlas. Hlas is the social democratic party and Peter Pellegrini is the speaker of the house. The intermediary was Matús Sutaj Estok, who has since become the Minister of Interior in Slovakia. However, with the growth of Fico’s party, Smer, the number of Fidesz associates also increased. Allegedly Századvég helped with the popularity ratig of Smer, writes Telex. This was done by conducting public surveys on which political messages work best.
According to sources “Hungarian collaboration with Smer remained strong even after Fico’s election victory.” You can read more about Slovak and Hungarian ties HERE.

Serbia

There are also mentions by 444, that Századvég actively participated in the Serbian elections. Mostly by Faragó helping the Vojvodina Hungarians’ Alliance, which is affiliated with Vučić’s party, in achieving good results.

The lost case of Poland

Although Habony’s team also worked on the Polish elections, the outcome was less favorable.
Not everywhere did Habony’s advice prove beneficial. After their advised party, the Law and Justice Party lost several politicians from the party blamed Habony Árpád and the consultants from Századvég for their loss of power. According to the international investigative organization, during the election period, they suggested to the party to choose aggressive and divisive political messages and to conduct a negative campaign against their opponent, Donald Tusk. Tusk, who is pro-Europe, won in the end and became the Prime Minister of Poland. We already wrote about it HERE.

Next on the list is Uncle Sam?

The ocean is not an obstacle, when talking about Habony and his influence. There has been talk of Habony being employed by none other than Donald Trump in his upcoming campaign for reelection. Former U.S. ambassador to Budapest, David Cornstein actively lobbies for Donald Trump to employ Habony, who is working on this project with Századvég fervently, especially Gergely Losonci, political director of the organisation. Habony has recently visited Florida multiple times and met with Trump’s people, so it seems like their collaboration is nearing the inevitable.
