Orbán Vs Magyar: Did The EU Get Played?
Authored by Arthur Schaper via American Greatness,
Viktor Orbán, the valiant populist, the restorer of the Christian faith in Hungary, the welcome thorn in the side of the EU establishment, and the strong ally of President Trump since his first bid for office, has lost his own re-election bid. I had a feeling it would come to this.
Sixteen years of uninterrupted administration as a strong force for conservative, right-wing nationalist populism have come to an end, at least with Orbán as the head of it.
Sometimes, voters have a strange fatigue when it comes to governments. Fourteen years of a “conservative” UK government ushered in the Labour Party in 2024. However, fatigue doesn't explain Orbán's crushing loss.
What set that off?
Corruption charges and the argument that his administration had looked the other way when sex abuse scandals broke out at a local school.
Economics reared its ugly head, as well, since the EU was cutting off its fundin...

Tether's 116-Ton Gold Hoard Rivals Reserves Of Korea And Hungary: Jefferies
Authored by Amin Haqshanas via CoinTelegraph.com,
Stablecoin issuer Tether holds 116 tons of physical gold, placing it on par with central banks such as those in South Korea, Hungary and Greece.
Tether is “the largest holder of gold outside central banks,” Jefferies wrote in a recent analysis, per a report by the Financial Times. The investment bank added that Tether's growing appetite for gold may be playing a larger role in the metal's recent surge than previously assumed.
According to Jefferies, Tether's gold purchases last quarter accounted for nearly 2% of total global gold demand and almost 12% of central bank purchases. The company said that Tether's aggressive accumulation over the past two months “is likely to have tightened supply in the short term and influenced sentiment,” potentially driving speculative inflows into gold markets.
Investors cited by Jefferies said Tether aims to acquire anoth...

Safe Haven Hungary: Why Companies Chooses Orbán Over Brussels
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe

German mainstream media regularly take aim at Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. His unflinching skepticism toward Brussels' meddling, his uncompromising stance on migration, and his steadfast commitment to affordable Russian gas have brought him into open confrontation with both Berlin and the EU Commission. You can almost set your watch by it: when Brussels says A, Orbán responds with B. He holds up a mirror to the EU's ideological strategies—and in doing so has become the biggest disruptor in Europe's political consensus machinery.
Nearly every domestic policy decision he makes is under scrutiny, regularly attracting criticism from a press that typically pays little attention to Ea...
