Hungarians are not left wing. They’re voting for the left wing EU candidate because they’re a minority in Romania. Likewise Russians in Estonia and Latvia back the leftist candidates and centrist because they don’t like Baltic nationalism.

It’s group evolutionary strategy. Not some principles, otherwise we’d see these principles implemented in Hungary.

There is no left wing progressivism. They are leftist.

Right still seems to be growing in western Europe, see Portugal, UK, Germany.

I guess in AD 425, there were smart observers noting that Gothic governance had failed, and that anyway Gothic tribes were extremely divided and in conflict with one another. As a result, they confidently predicted that the tide of Barbarian invasions had started to recede and that Roman governance was inexorably reasserting itself.
