    “Grants Asylum” between two EU countries? 🤔

    Turns out this is a perfect example out of the alt-right playbook:

    1. The Polish lower house of parliament [stripped] a former justice minister of immunity, which opens the way for him to be arrested and charged with numerous crimes, including abuse of power and heading an organised criminal group.
    2. The fascist screecher calls this “political repressions” and a “witch hunt”
    3. Orban is only too happy to pick up on that and grants him “political asylum”, something that does not really exist, or at the very least is meaningless, between EU countries.
    4. => Narrative over facts!

    And Reuters’ reporting remains “factual” without adding that it is manufactured drama
