  1. They probably wont do anything about it as usual. I am sick and tired of this regime as are most Hungarians now (Fidesz is currently at 35%) but due to the gerrymandering and paying for the votes and the lack of free media I doubt that we will become free from this anytime soon. With the money handouts, they can be around 40% and win elections again. Maybe a revolution should happen at this point. But EU is ridicoulus, they never do anything just complain and threaten. If they really want this system to collapse, take away the agrari funds, or the Germans shouldnt invest here anyomore. The amount of enabling that the EU elite has done over the years with Orbán is backfiring now as does our nations former support for him, when the economy was good and Fidesz was less scandalous so society just looked away for too long

  3. I’m amazed by the amount of international support this cause got!! Thanks everybody, we really do appreciate it! Spread the info, let the whole world know about it.

    And don’t forget: orban is not equal to Hungary or Hungarians. He represents a minority of our people, and the vast majority is oppressed by him.

  4. I beg to differ. Hungarian must stop him. It must come from the within.

    And BTW, they are working on it. EU can only help and support them.

  5. That man does not like Free press, which is fine for now, let’s hope he will not eliminate them physically like in russia.

  6. Hungarians must stop him. They voted him in. I am always flabbergasted how there’s a yell for outside help when a majority of the inhabitants want exactly this. They could have elected somebody else. And didn’t.
    Same for the US or Palestine: get rid of the threads, people. You are the majority. Not the monkeys with guns and/or millions.

  7. I am not too sure about this. Actually it might be a good idea if the EU banned foreign funding of the press totally. It is not in our interest, if for example Russia or the United States is able to influence us, promoting their own hostile agenda against Europe.

  9. Not Europe.

    Hungarians are the only ones that can stop Orban.

  11. This would be gross interference with Hungary’s sovereignty. You can’t impose your values on another nation, whether you like it or not.

  14. He doesnt try bro, he does it successfully since a long time ago.

  15. Just wanted to flex that my country (Greece) is way below Hungary in the [free press index as published by the RSF](https://rsf.org/en/index), and we’re number one (last place) in the EU. But you aren’t hearing about this so much, because our brand of corruption and oligarchy is pro-European.

  16. Sometimes when a house is so thoroughly infested with vermin, exterminators must ‘tent’ the house and flood it with agents that will erradicate the vermin.

    More and more I feel that the entire Earth needs to be ‘tented’, as there seems to be quite the infestation of vermin everywhere you look.

  17. Hungary OUT OUT OUT. They can ask to rejoin once they’ve cleaned up their dirty Putin loving government.

  18. EU won’t do anything except talk and waste time on speeches…

    The EU is a bureaucratic nightmare, a job at an official EU instance is like a lottery ticket…
    Once you are there you won’t change anything…

  19. Why Europe? Why its always “someone has to stop him/them”? Why dont Hundarians deal with the problem they have created themselves?

  20. While the EU should be cracking down on Hungary, the responsibiilty for how Hungary looks lies squarely with the Hungarians.

    Trying to blame Europe out of jealousy is just as pathetic as when the Turks try to do it to also justify their people letting themselves get walked all over.

  21. And how is Europe supposed to do that? Hungarians keep voting for him, beyond a sternly worded letter and the pulling of EU funding the EU doesn’t have the kind of power this article seems to think it has.

  23. Vote for Tisza, and encourage everyone to do the same. Europe cannot stop Orban with taking away EU funds

  24. Btw the remaining free press is 3 small online news outlets, 2 YouTube channels, and a comedian.

  25. I hate to brake it to you, he already done that years ago and EU did nothing , now he is just targeting little independent journalists.

  26. Orban is merely fulfilling his obligations as Russian governor. You really don’t want to fail at that, you know.
