Sorry that you put your political preferences in there but I can and do criticise a corrupt lefist dictator in Venezuela with as much gusto as a corrupt right wing dictator in Hungary or Russia.

They persecute gays and vilify Jews. You don't have to be left to think that wrong. But even if you think that right, Orban has milked billions out of the system for himself and his family, and has completely captured the electoral system by changing the laws and captured the media by bribery (aka government advertisements) and force (aka using state machinery like tax investigators to punish and drive out non-complying media).

I'd hate any leftie doing this the same as any rightie. But no matter your political colour, Orban is an anti-democratic corrupt elite fostering a one party state. He is bad for Hungary, for the EU and for the rest of the world.
