My Take
I find Viktor Orbán fascinating less as a politician than as a study in sheer endurance. A provincial lawyer who once played football, he climbed to the top of Hungarian politics and stayed there longer than almost any of his European peers. Whatever one thinks of his ideology, and opinions split sharply, that kind of staying power demands an instinct for timing and a tolerance for confrontation few leaders possess. My view is that history will judge the substance, but the tactician in him is undeniable. He reshaped an entire country's political landscape through patience and will, and that alone makes him worth studying carefully.
