Edit:
Internal headline on the page:
The 'strongman' PM who inspired Trump's playbook - but now finds his power crumbling

Headline from metadata and BBC's search is the one in the title.

Edit2: Changed headline to the apparently new one.

When I read the headline, it immediately made me wonder where 'abroad' Orban is admired. It certainly isn't in my neck of the woods.

Meanwhile he has drawn admirers around the world, including US Vice President JD Vance and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze. US President Donald Trump has called Orban "smart" and "a tough person".

Ah. Yes.

Also Kickl in Austria, Wilders in the NL, and the assorted Russian-supported far-right.

A journalist in Hungary just said "we would put our hands together (meaning it would be a huge improvement) to have a far right like the one Poland just got rid of". Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Meloni's group either, but at least they are not straight up traitors to Europe and their respective countries.

Bullshit editorialized headline.
How does this have so many upvotes?

The headline is not editorialised, BBC is weird with this, I didn't notice, sorry, thanks for pointing it out.

Look the article up in their search: https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=visszanyal+a+fagyi&d=NEWS_PS

Or look at the title bar of your browser when opening it. Lemmy retrieved this one automatically. I'll add an edit to clarify.

We require that the headline here match the article:

"The 'strongman' PM who inspired Trump's playbook - but now finds his power crumbling"

If you can fix it, we'll allow it, otherwise we'll have to remove it.

BBC has changed the headline, and it shows inconsistently on their own site now, some places show the original, some the new.

I'll change it.

Edit: I've done it and now the link and the title shows different headlines, gotta love BBC.

The worst ones are the "live update!" posts because the headline can change minute by minute. :(
