BUDAPEST/BERLIN (Reuters) - An endorsement from Elon Musk, 5 million euros in financial donations this year alone, and now an invitation to meet Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban: once isolated, the far-right Alternative for Germany has a growing number of friends.
Orban, whose anti-immigration stance and calls for restoration of Europe's energy relationship with Russia make him an ideological match for the nativist AfD, on Monday announced party leader Alice Weidel's visit to Hungary on social media.
