I bet Orban is fantasizing about reacting like his buddy Putin.
It is not a protest, it was an event organized by a guy who critisized the Orban regime.
This would have more credibility with a source. Pictures are too easy to fake these days. Not saying it is but there have been too many examples already
This was organised by a guy who was until very recently part of Fidesz’s system and the ex-husband of the former Minister of Justice Judit Varga.
A bit of context here could be useful.
Fuck that piece of shit.
Fuck orban!
hell yes. 🙌🏾 fuck orban.
Haven’t found a good English source so here’s some context: A former insider of the Orban regime, previously married to the then-serving Minister of Justice who has since resigned following a controversial pardon granted by the President to an accomplice of a convicted pedophile, gave a [high-impact interview](https://youtu.be/8cJulnczg2E) exposing the regime’s inner workings, like the rampant institutionalized corruption machine powering a full-scale state capture, mafia-like operations with oligarchs, treating the country as a joint-stock company, a publicly funded Putin-style propaganda machine, etc. His revelations were significant due to his insider status in a system that prizes loyalty above all. Since the interview, he has continued to speak out, culminating in a demonstration today where he announced the upcoming launch of a new political party.
Fuck Orban. Fight Hungarians.
Context for our European brothers and sisters:
The event was organized by Peter Magyar, who is a brand new face on the political palette. Prior to kickstarting his public movement about a month ago, he was an executive at various government-owned firms, such as the one responsible for student loans.
He is also the ex-husband of a high-ranking Fidesz (Orban’s party) politician, Judit Varga. Varga served as the Minister of Justice in Orban’s government between 2019 and 2023 and was expected to lead their EP list until her recent resignation and retirement from all public engagements. The resignation was the result of a recent scandal in Hungary that shook Fidesz. The scandal revolved around the President (also a Fidesz loyal), Katalin Novak, who secretly pardoned the accomplice of a convicted pedophile. The pardon, that was carried out last year, leaked this February and led to her and Varga’s resignation.
Magyar used the media upheaval surrounding the pardon scandal to publicly renounce his political affiliation with Fidesz and started to openly criticize the Orban government. His first YouTube interview on the independent channel Partizan got to 2 million views in a matter of days, a big feat in a country of 10 million people and for a person no one had heard of before.
After said interview, Magyar started to methodically build his public profile, mostly on his Facebook page and several media outlets. He announced the event for the 15th of March, which is a national holiday in Hungary in remembrance of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. He was previously alluding to founding a new party, which he announced at today’s event. The pictures above where taken at that event.
For a person so new to the political arena he drew a surprisingly large crowd, several tens of thousands perhaps. This is a symptom of many Hungarians being fed up with Orban but also with the impotent, ineffective and, as rumored, in some cases Fidesz-collaborator opposition. People are yearning for a new face, a new force.
Whether they will find that face in Peter Magyar, who was married to a very high-ranking Fidesz minister for 17 years and claims to have had various friends in the current government remains to be seen.
Edit: grammar and typos
What are they protesting against? That they had an election and not enough people agreed with their opinion to elect someone else?
So much for the Chinese police force!
Just goes to show.
Buy Chinese, buy twice!
Orban is a traitor who wants Russia in Hungarian borders, it’s good that many young people see the danger he represents
Victor Orban is a Putin fluffer and dictator admirer.
He said the western countries are adversaries. He declared himself an enemy of the western world not only with his words, but also his actions.
It is time we return the favor and treat that fat gannet like he apparently desires so much.
Kick that Horthy wannabe to the curb sitting in Moscow!
