Miklós Haraszti: No More Comeback Kid (wańka-wstańka) in Hungary

During a visit to Warsaw for the 50th anniversary of the KOR, discussions with Gazeta Wyborcza journalists revealed skepticism about the permanence of Fidesz's defeat. Many believe that Orbán's political return is unlikely, despite historical precedents of political comebacks by figures like Trump and Putin. The argument is made that Orbán, despite past failures, has established a significant shadow state that remains intact, with various institutions still under his influence. The Tisza party's recent success has only managed to capture the presidency, while other powerful entities remain operational.
