Viktor Orban Steps Down from Parliament
Viktor Orbán is a Hungarian politician who co-founded the Fidesz party in 1988 and served as Hungary's prime minister from 1998–2002 and again from 2010–2026. Early in his career, he was known as a liberal and anti communist, but over time he transformed Fidesz into a nationalist, socially conservative party that became dominant in Hungarian politics. Orbán is described by political scientists as a far right leader because of his emphasis on Hungarian nationalism and anti-immigration policies. On April 25th Viktor Orban stepped down after his party lost in a landslide."Voters abandoned him in their droves amid brewing public unhappiness over allegations of corruption and graft while living standards slipped." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9v1wll8qqo

It should receive Trump’s arch design soon for consideration and an approval vote. "The arch would stand 250ft (76 meters) tall from its base to a torch held aloft by a Lady Liberty-like figure atop the structure. The figure would be flanked up top by two eagles and guarded at the base by four lions – all gilded. The phrases “One Nation Under God” and “Liberty and Justice for All” would be inscribed in gold lettering atop either side of the monument." This plan coincides with Trump's $400m White House ballroom that a judge ordered a stop to, but allowed underground construction of a bunker and other "National Security facilities" at the site.
