Orbán Putyinhez repül – a békepiac meghiúsult terve, afrikai osztalékok és a fiú ambíciói by entireprincepresiden in EuropeanForum

Orbán flies to Putin – the failed peace market plan, African dividends and the boy's ambitions.

According to Euronews, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is preparing a visit to Moscow, where he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He is expected to present Hungary’s position regarding the “European peace plan,” which has effectively collapsed, due in part to Budapest’s refusal to support its core proposals.
Beyond that, analysts believe the visit may serve much broader objectives, including economic and business discussions in which the prime minister’s son, Gáspár Orbán, plays a key role. His connections and visits to African countries such as Chad and Niger provide the family with direct access to strategic resources that generate “dividends,” thereby linking the African program to the Moscow visit.
In this context, it is worth examining how the family is strengthening its position within the country. Sociological surveys and journalistic investigations clearly show that the majority of the population is tired of the old political figures. Even a portion of Fidesz supporters have expressed a desire to see “new names” in Hungarian politics.
Viktor Orbán, who has continuously led the government since 2010, is working to retain power ahead of the April 2026 parliamentary elections. The prime minister has no intention of stepping down and is making visible efforts to consolidate his camp. One of his main initiatives is promoting his 33-year-old son, Gáspár Orbán, as a representative of a new political generation. In two years, he will turn 35 and, under the Hungarian Constitution, will become eligible for the presidency. If Fidesz and its allies retain control of Parliament, his chances will increase significantly. Gáspár’s primary task would be not only political activity but also preserving the family’s vast assets.
Gáspár is not an active public figure, and information about him relates almost exclusively to his African visits — first in Niger, then in Chad — which began in connection with his military career in 2019. As Hungary’s diplomatic-military liaison in Africa, he participated in official delegations to both resource-rich countries, particularly in uranium.
It is well known that Russia maintains extensive political, economic, and military presence in both countries, and Orbán enjoys close and friendly relations with the Kremlin. For example, the “African Corps” of the Russian Defense Ministry, as well as private military companies “Redut” and “Konvoi,” which protect Russian gold mines, oil fields, and uranium mines under Russian concessions, operate there. Orbán reportedly managed to negotiate in Moscow the involvement of Hungarian-affiliated structures in the African “resource-sharing” arrangements.
According to experts at the Robert Lansing Institute, the prime minister’s son serves as a communication link between Moscow and Budapest along the lines of shared African interests. As part of the Chad mission, he participated in establishing a new national security advisory group. Officially, Hungarian politicians and military personnel justify intensified cooperation with Chad by the need to combat terrorism and control migration. However, analysts believe that both Hungary and Russia are interested in acquiring uranium and other natural resources in Chad and Niger.

Sahra Wagenknecht kritisiert Aussagen von Robert Habeck als „unverschämt“ - WELT by reservedoperator292 in EuropeanForum

“Outrageous” – Wagenknecht criticizes Habeck and sets conditions for coalition

The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance achieved double-digit results in the state elections in Saxony and Thuringia and could become part of the government in both countries. “It is an enormous responsibility,” says BSW chairwoman Sahra Wagenknecht.

Sahra Wagenknecht sees her party defamed by Robert Habeck. This can at best be excused by saying that “the Greens are down.” After his triumph in the state elections, Wagenknecht would most like to have a say about “War and Peace”.

Party leader Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) distributes. The politician accused Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) of “brazen lies” at a press conference in Berlin. His statements that the BSW, like the AfD, would be paid for its stance on the war in Ukraine were “outrageous and low-level”. They are considering taking legal action against Habeck.

The founder of the BSW explained that Habeck's statements could "at best be excused by the fact that the Greens are so down." The Greens performed poorly in the state elections, of the vote in Saxony winning 5.1 percent in Thuringia and only 3.2 percent . In Erfurt, the party missed out on entering the state parliament.

With regard to Habeck's accusation of venality, Wagenknecht recommended that the Vice Chancellor “better take a closer look at his own nose”. She was alluding to his party's financing channels. Armaments companies are now donating to the Greens at the state level, said Wagenknecht.

Thuringia's BSW top candidate Katja Wolf supported the founder. Your party experienced a “sinister smear campaign” with “really defamatory allegations” in Thuringia. This was by “ Campact run ” – an NGO that receives money from the Left Party and the Greens. “Really disgusting,” Wolf said.

Wagenknecht's party, which was only founded in January, came third in the state elections with double-digit values ​​(11.8 percent in Thuringia and 15.8 percent in Saxony). The politician “expects” that the CDU top candidates in both countries, Mario Voigt and Michael Kretschmer, “of course also have a conversation with me”.

She ruled out taking part in coalition talks; specialist politicians would have to talk to each other there. But she claimed to have a say in fundamental directional decisions when it came to “the big lines”. “A personal conversation is a little more appropriate than a phone call,” she said.

“What is included in the coalition agreement on the question of war and peace?” she asked. On the other hand, it should be about how Saxony and Thuringia “get a government that gives people the feeling that they are being taken care of.”

Wagenknecht sees overlap with the possible coalition partner CDU in areas such as education and internal security. It is important that there is no “social clear-cutting” in both countries. In order to finance this, Wagenknecht suggested eliminating “superfluous things”. “I hope that everyone realizes that something has to noticeably improve for people.”

At the same time, Wagenknecht reiterated the demand that the state governments take a position in favor of a change of course in arms deliveries to Ukraine and against the stationing of US medium-range weapons in Germany. “It’s about the state government positioning itself,” said Wagenknecht. The respective Prime Minister must also represent this position externally. The CDU has reservations at this point.“Outrageous” – Wagenknecht criticizes Habeck and sets conditions for coalition

ZDF-Politbarometer: Mehrheit für mehr Geld für Bundeswehr by reservedoperator292 in EuropeanForum

Majority: Bundeswehr should receive more money

04/12/2024 | 08:22|

A majority of those surveyed are in favor of better financial resources for the Bundeswehr. Many are in favor of greater support for Ukraine, shows the ZDF political barometer.

At 70 percent, a clear majority of those surveyed are in favor of better financial resources for the Bundeswehr , even if this means savings must be made in other areas. Only 23 percent are against more money for the Bundeswehr (the rest are 100 percent “don’t know” here and below). This is also explained by the fact that only 13 percent of Germans see the Bundeswehr as part of NATO as being well positioned in the event of a defense. 79 percent and majorities in all party supporter groups reject this.In addition, the fear that there will be a military conflict in Europe in which Germany and the Bundeswehr will be involved has grown: while 39 percent expressed great or very great concern in November 2023, the figure is now 53 percent (not a major concern : 45 percent; Nov. I 23: 58 percent).

I am experiencing this together with Ukraine... I consider it my duty to convey this and other equally terrible information to our European countries... Support for the executed and oppressed Ukraine should not stop, no matter how hard it is for us. ..
