To Viktor The Spoils, Girondins Meet The Jacobins, The Loveless Landslide
Manage episode 428342891 series 3442498
Viktor Orban has been taking secret flights. Dodging the CIA’s aviation monitoring to jet into Moscow.
The Hungarian honcho is now fashioning himself as a shuttle diplomat in the Russo-Ukranian War, just as his country takes the rotating Presidency of the EU Council.
What was the goal of this clandestine trip? And did he still get the air miles?
Meanwhile, in the French parliamentary elections, Emmanuel Macron’s calculation was effectively like the old puzzle about a man who has to get a fox, a chicken and a bag of grain from one side of a river to another. Today, he’s like a man stood on the far bank of a river watching a fox murder a chicken as it swallows all the grain. Whoops.
Finally, in Britain the maths was easy. An epochal nuking for the Tories has brought Labour to power on a one-word slogan of Change. But with the coffers bare, is the change Starmer’s looking for spare?
