That is such a great point. I have been trying to find a Hungary expert who can tell me what was happening in Hungarian politics in 2009 because it sounds like the kind of chaos we are enduring in congress in the US that is meant to pave the way for authoritarian capture. So much of what extremists in GOP are doing match Orban playbook and yes the money stretches transnationally.

On another strong man regime in Hungary, why 2009? Nonetheless, think you may have an inhouse expert who has written already and able to research? https://bylinetimes.com/author/szabolcspanyi/
Something whiffy, like Brazil, US, UK etc. around a Hungarian govt. think tank, the Danube Inst., not included in Atlas network but partners all are in via UK &/or US, while former Thatcher aide heads it and an Oz journalist did great article, which represents everything wrong about Anglosphere RW grifters.....
US conservative Anne Applebaum called out Inst. 'visitors' 3 April due to support from PM 'mini Putin' Orban; UK Trade Advisor, former Oz PM, who orbits Koch thinks and Murdoch media i.e. Tony Abbott's advisor was a 'visitor' and quickly disappeared from their website (rumoured or alleged that he is a spy, known by some Twitter followers as '007'...he is on right in image in article, while UK's Oz immigration 'great replacement' reviewer Downer, on left).
Me thinks it's the other way round, e.g. Orban's party consulted with GOP trained electoral advisors recommended by Netanyahu in '99, now deceased Arthur Finkelstein* & Birnbaum (Israel Times & Hungarian Spectrum) who were allegedly responsible for cooking up the anti-semitic, Islamophobic and 'great replacement' or eugenics based 'Soros Conspiracy'; gave white Christian nationalists a 'bob each way'.
* Finkelstein was foreign, Jewish, gay and married to his partner living in Vienna, but got on very well with Orban who apparently called him 'Finky'.
