The reason for this protest according to the organizers: (deepl translation)
We’ve had enough.
Regardless of sides, we believe it is important that we as civilians speak out for the protection of victims, transparency, human decency and honest social dialogue. We are desperate.
The events of the past few days have prompted us to take a united stand in the online space. It is very wrong that the Hungarian public life consists of incitement, hate speech and character assassination. And if that wasn’t disappointing enough, it also emerged that on the pretext of a visit to the Pope, a man who was an active accomplice of a child abuser was released. He was released with a presidential pardon, given a clean bill of health, and will be able to work around children again any time.
What happened goes beyond the person and responsibility of the former President of the Republic and the former Minister of Justice. The most vulnerable, tragically fated children were abandoned by the state when it entrusted them to an abusive director. After this abandonment, the victims have now been betrayed. We wish to express our anger, our pain and our sympathy.
How many more cases like this are there that we do not know about and that are being kept quiet?
Raise your voice when the victims’ voices are silenced!
Don’t turn your head when the defenceless are hurt!
Do not be indifferent!
Important to note: Not all of the protesters have arrived yet
This protest was organized by influencers. Party flags, emblems are banned for this protest.
Update: The protest has officially ended.
Here’s how the Fidesz media views the protest:
Few thousand communist elders and homosexual libtards on Heroes’s square
The protest was organized by several known radical-left people and LGBTQ activists
But most of them don’t even acknowledge that the protest has ever happened.
These are in Hungarian but you can translate them with deepl.
Love the flag on the 2nd pic! 🤭❤️🤍💚
Pedophilia is disgusting. Have a bit of support from Kazakhstan!
seems a lot of people of Hungary are tired, and rightly so. stay strong everyone 🫶🏾
We are so fed up with this whole shit going on in this country… literally everyone is so frustrated..
Finally 🙏🏽💙🫂
Be safe brave ones
Here comes a giant *reaper*
I would love to imagine Orban giving Ceausescu speech.
Fingers crossed, *bratanki* ! 🤞
I hope I was completely wrong about the prospects of your country.
Either this is the spark that brings change or it’ll be another brief flash.
Is this against Orban?
Russians living in Budapest are also protesting at the embassy of Russia in Budapest.
UPDATE!!!
I have a Chrome extension called Transover instaled in my browser from chrome extension page, which shows the translation immediately when I move the mouse over it.
As soon as I typed this text here and moved the mouse over it, it translated:
“Americans living in Budapest are also protesting at the embassy of Russia in Budapest.”
I looked it up, it’s a Russian developer Chrome add-on. It is shockig! The Russian government has spread translation add-ons in the Chrome browser that translate by manipulating the text.
Can any Hungarian answer this question?Are the people of Budaoest more progressive and anti-Orban than the ones in villages and small cities?Because Budapest seems very developed and European to me in contrast to the rest of the country.
Government media literally just reported that it’s just a couple thousand old communists and gays out on the streets.
Bunch of rats. Down with the regime that protects pedophiles!
Good to see our neighbors doing the right thing, I just hope we can all be united and do the same to our corrupt politicians.
I hope to see it like this tommorow in Zagreb, we will also protest against the corrupt government
Orban is a criminal and a traitor.
Good luck from Slovakia. Our corrupt gov has Orbán as idol.
I guess pardoning pedophiles is a big nono everywhere. Who would have thought? Everyone… everyone would have thought… what were they thinking!
Isn’t Orban the ideological brother of Trump supporters, which include QAnon members. Oh the irony
Go Hungarians! THIS is what I have been longing to see. Throw those corrupt pedos out!
My parrents in a vilage 200 km from the capitol will not know this happened and do not know why it happened.
Top news in Fidesz media:
“These few protesters are far right lmbtq activists, sponsored by the Usa and Soros. ”
Just the average everyday bullshit from the government. FML
