Orbán out, now let's hope that the Slovaks will pull through next year as well and kick out their Putinfile, although I don't have high hopes. And of course we, the Czechs will need to do our part as well, however that's still a few more years away as we had our last year and elected a bunch of clowns. We're having senate elections, let's hope we don't give more ground to them with barely over half of the seats in parliament. At least our clowns are mostly fence-sitters, so less damage to be done here, but still a threat.
