Hopefully will reduce the right-wing propaganda and Orbán’s stranglehold on the country. He’s been a big maker in the authoritarian playbooks being used across the world now

IIRC, I saw some reporting that Hungary was spending (far) more on ads targeting other European countries and those elections, than on ads targeting their own.

In other words, an instigator, agent, and/or vehicle for right wing propaganda Europe-wide.
