It is the Hungarian nats who claim he has recent gypsy ancestry, not I. I never looked into these claims. Being a Calvinist doesn't preclude one from having recent gypsy ancestry per se.

He's also an ardent philo-semite who still accuses Jobbik of anti-semitism (even when they have a J'ish leader). He also sells Hungarian citizenship to rich foreigners, though he's thankfully intolerant of those useless 'migrants' whose only 'contribution' is to recreate the same conditions they fled. There is plenty to dislike about Orban (and even more about Putin). The bar is just so low these days.

Whatever he is, Fidesz is still better than Jobbik, MSZP, etc. Fidesz in some ways has practically swapped places with Jobbik (1990s Fidesz was pro-Western globohomo, 2020s Jobbik is pro-Western globohomo).

Jobbik was only better than Fidesz before the late 2010's, i.e. when they seriously could be considered 'Far-Right' even on an unbiased political spectrum (and off the charts Far-Far-Far-Right on today's fucked up, extremely Left-biased political spectrum which considers outright philo-semitic, pro-LGBTQIAA2XYZ, liberal parties like the Dutch PVV, Danish DPP and Austrian AfD 'far-Right'). If anything, these are all left-leaning parties whose only problem is with Islamic immigrants, and only those because of Left-wing reasons, i.e. Islam is exclusive and intolerant. Fidesz certainly makes these parties look Left-wing in comparison.
