Hungary's Elections: Look Who's Back
From Romania to Hungary: Russian meddling script reloaded. Media on standby.
One reliable feature of national elections in EU member states—or candidate countries—is the near-total absence of genuine surprises.

The same modus operandi had already been observed in Romania, Moldova, and Georgia. The mechanism is well-tested—even if its success varies depending on which side benefits.
