Most likely not gonna happen… Orbán needs time
So, to explain what has happened in Hungary recently, lets go back a week or so.
On December 25 the current President of the Republic, Tamás Sulyok held a speech for the hungarian public. What’s the issue with that? The speech was supposed to be given on new year’s eve, as it is a tradition since 1990! But instead we were given a few actors recitals and speeches.
In comes Péter Magyar, the leader of the hungarian opposition, head of the Tisza Party. He offered to speak instead of Sulyok after it was discovered that he won’t adress the masses, which was then publically rejected by the government owned public media, M1. So instead Magyar adressed the hungarians on Youtube and Facebook. At the time i am writing this comment it was seen by 300,000 people on Youtube, and nearly 700,000 on Facebook, 1/10th of the total population of Hungary!
To summarise the speech, he demanded earlier elections, urged hungarians to stand up to the Fidesz kleptocracy, wether they are left or right wingers, or neither. Along with a string of promises, such as building closer ties with the EU, resolving the many issues plaguing the rail system, healthcare and housing market, and he even mentioned some anecdotes he have heard from the people of Hungary during his “country-travels”, a so far 2 series of campaigning where Magyar went from town to town, from city to city to hold mass gatherings.
Last year was absolutely not Fidesz’. They started out with the comfortable backing of the majority of the population, supposedly having between 50-55% of the votes according to most polls, both government funded and independent. Now they are possibly under 40% for the first time since the mid 2000s, all the while the fragmented opposition united behind Magyar. And as time goes on Fidesz keeps bleeding voters while Tisza swallows them up.
This year will be very chaotic.
And yes, this is my writing, not paraphrasing from the article
Translation:
**”We don’t have more time and we don’t give you more chances. Bring forward the election day to the earliest possible date so that the country does not waste more time unnecessarily because we have no more time. We do not have another year. The Hungarian people have nowhere left to fall back to”,** said Péter Magyar in his 2025 New Year’s speech. The leader of the Tisza Party announced his speech after the New Year’s anthem after it became clear to everyone: President Tamás Sulyok will break with tradition and give a presidential speech at Christmas instead of New Year.
Magyar compared Orbán to Ferenc Gyurcsány, who held on to the post of prime minister before 2009, referring back to the time when Orbán was still calling for early elections. “Unfortunately, the ruling party of the time put its own welfare before the honour of the country. It sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Only now you are Ferenc Gyurcsány,” he told Orbán.
Magyar said that the Tisza Party had brought hope, and that 2025 would finally be about that hope and about “taking back our country”. **”We will take our country back from the 3,000 people who are reaping the fruits of hatred and division. Who are laughing contemptuously at how well another smear campaign has gone while toasting billions of dollars over another stolen sector, castle, train station, airport public procurement win. They laugh at us in private schools and private hospitals.”**
He said that “the Hungarian people are opposed to the National System of Co-Crime”, identifying himself and his supporters with the Hungarian nation and the Hungarian people, essentially recalling Orbán’s famous 2002 motto that “the homeland cannot be in opposition”.
**”We Hungarians will extend our hands to each other, to everyone, to our fellow countrymen, Fidesz, left-wing and liberal. We Hungarians will win the election, replace him, hold him accountable and move on from Orbán’s regime,” he said. For all this, Magyar said, “we need a new election, a new mandate”.**
In his speech, Magyar also recalled the stages of his tour of the country and addressed several of his supporters by name, whom he met in the towns he visited, using their examples to list the country’s most pressing problems. “I will never forget, my brother Károly, what you told me in Battonya, how livestock disappeared in the old livestock village, how the Orbán government abandoned cereal producers, fruit and vegetable growers and beekeepers, and how the surrounding villages have been emptied over the last decade.”
He also spoke about the clemency scandal, recalling that Viktor Orbán had not yet apologised to the victims of Bicske, but said he would do so now and promised that under Tisza’s government, nothing like what happened to them in the children’s home would happen again.
So EU closing the money tap might actually help? That would be a first
Get rid of Orban as soon as possible. It will take a decade or more to fix all the damage he caused.
Jesus Christ he and Romania’s Georgescu use almost the same zoom background.
