The main example is Hungary's president Viktor Orban, who has been campaigning with antisemitic conspiracy theories for several election cycles and openly supports and protects one of Europe's biggest neonazi gatherings, the March of Honor (where militant nazi skins commemorate how the Wehrmacht and its Hungarian Arrow Cross collaborators lost to the Red Army, common faschist L), then flew over to Israel to visit holocaust memorials with Netanyahu.

I'm a tankie in the classical sense, in that I support sending tanks into Hungary due to this.

Meanwhile, my government is hunting down 13 antifa activists who allegedly beat up nazis at the March of Honor, and is discussing if it's ok to extradit a nonbinary person they've already caught to Hungary, where their gender identity is not recognized and where it's a given that they would, on top of generally terrible conditions of imprisonment especially for leftist political prisoners, be subjected to massive transphobia by the prison guards. They already have another activist from Italy on trial, and her lawyer reports regular violations of her human rights by the Hungarian authorities and it's obvious she's not getting a fair trial there because she's at odds with the ruling fascist ideology.

Full, uncritical support to all imprisoned leftists, even the innocent ones.

I moved out from Hungary 12 years ago and I never want to set my foot into that hellhole again unless I need to visit my extended family. Khrushchev and the collapse of the USSR was the worse thing that ever happened to that country. Such a miserable place to live.
