I heard there might be enough support for oppo parties in Poland to unseat PiS, would that be enough to bring the hammer down on Hungary?
If they did. Maybe. Won't happen though.
If it did Slovakia just elected a pro russian party who will probably buddy up to Orban
If it's Slovakia I'd actually doubt it
Orban and Fidesz denies the legitimacy of Slovakia because Slovakia is composed of land that used to be Kingdom of Hungary turf.
I can't imagine Slovakian nationalists, even pro Russian ones, being all that friendly towards someone directly denying their right to exist.
They don't really deny Slovakia's legitimacy, at least not officially because it was part of the deal to join nato to give up on those claims.
From OrbΓ‘n most of these are a performance towards his different voter blocks. Even in a single talk he gives he swings between far left and far right rhetoric depending whom he wants to pander to.
Maybe he said something that I don't know about, but recently he even started to distance himself from the Hungarian minority parties in Slovakia in favor of Fico. It's all about staying in power and finding the right allies for it.
You said it yourself: they're pro-russia.
