A few months before Viktor Orbán’s landslide victory in May 2010, I wrote an article about “the Hungarian right’s foreign policy offensive.” At the time, Orbán’s return to power seemed pretty well assured, and I sensed that not too many governments were looking forward to his reemergence on the international scene.
