Hungary’s Fidesz even managed to do it in a way they can communicate it to different audiences that they have both nationalized and privatized it, by selling it to a Hungarian oligarch, but buying back 25% of it immediately to nationalize the losses. Fidesz managed to get a lot of former old tankies as voters by saying they’re boing to build a “work-based society”.

What dreadful perfidy. I guess the socialists and communists weren’t fooled, at least? What a debate that must have been.
