The Orbán Rule

Gábor G. Fodor seeks to understand and explain how a talented, sensitive 25-year-old became an inescapable politician, who would provide a stable future for his community and who would follow the best path towards becoming a statesman. While reading The Orbán Rule, you can almost feel the author himself, a political scientist, coming to the realization that Viktor Orbán never strives to gain a majority sufficient for power, but always seeks to build a community of friends and brothers-in-arms who are able to understand and respect one another. When necessary he does this with patience and wisdom, and when necessary with the example of his charisma and decisiveness. The main Orbán rule is that the strength of a team captain comes from his team.
