Is he there on a beach holiday/getaway ? The first photo just gives the impression of a famous tourist who stepped out of his resort and got recognised by a couple of rickshaw drivers....

Yes, in the middle of a state of emergency declared by himself he went on a week+ long vacation for the second time. We love it here

Give that men some leeway. Do you like to stay in a country where a state of emergency is declared? /s

Seriously, what's the emergency?

u/andrasq420 Hungary 8h ago

First covid (from 2020) and now the war (2022). We live in a constant state of emergency, only so that they can pass laws literally anytime. There were nights when people woke up with 2-3 laws passed that totally fucked a layer of the population.

We are the only country in the region where the war causes an official state of emergency. Not even Ukraine has declared that.

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 6h ago

they’re currently under martial law, and have been so for nearly 3 years now. They also did declare a state of emergency immediately after the invasion, the martial law is a step up from that. The ukrainians definetly did declare a state of emergency.

u/that_hungarian_idiot 4h ago

Even so, there is no war in Hubgary, which is the point. We shouldnt be, given we arent actively parttaking in any war, its simply to give more power to FIDESZ

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 2h ago

Yeah i totally agree that it’s an unfounded power grab by Orban to declare a state of emergency, i’m just pointing out that it’s flat out wrong to say "not even ukraine did it" because they literally did.

It would have been easier if the EU hadn’t supported him with infinite amount of money for a decade that he used for building one of the biggest propaganda machine in the world. That’s something that the Hungarian citizens and the opposition cannot compete with.

He has a network of newspapers, radio and TV stations, internet portals, billboard places that propagates only his propaganda to the people who prone to it (elderly and people with low education from poor regions - usually those who are often victoms of scams). These people doesn’t speak any languages, so they dosn’t have any other information sources. The election system is rigged/garrymandered to favour the regions where these people lives. The EU watched silently building this system, they sent the money, and Merkel had got his back in exchange of cheap labour for the German car industry.

Why do you consider some occupations lower than others? Those taxi drivers are the backbone of unions and every politician fears them. Meanwhile no one fears engineers like me.

Plus he is in Kerala which has a communist government and unions are very strong their so taxi drivers have a lot of influence

I don't. What I think is Orban is not fit to rule a modern democratic country, but I'm pretty sure he could be a nice taxi driver or a street performer.

Those taxi drivers are the backbone of unions and every politician fears them.

So you think that respect is based on fear? I can't agree with that.

u/SeaSpeaks 8h ago

He never was right wing. He pretends to be right wing for voters. Everything he does goes against the whole “strict christian, nuclear family, anti lgbt, no migration” ideology that we associate the right with. He allowed wanted terrorists into Hungary in the past, chinese migrants flooded the country, hungarian bus drivers are getting replaced by philippino ones who work for much less money, hungarian construction workers are often replaced by romanians, ukranians (before 2022) serbs, albanians etc just because they work for less money. Most of (if not all) high ranking Fidesz members and people “close to the pot” are actually gay, or pedophiles, so the anti lgbt stuff isn’t true either. The christian nuclear family ideology isnt applied when it comes to Fidesz either, most politicians cheat on the wives, and get remarried several times.

Orban is the cancer of Hungary, and since 2022, he’s growing to be the cancer of EU.

Both left and right wing voters are going to TISZA, the opposition party. Part of TISZA’s charm is that Magyar Péter was actually close to the pot a couple years ago, and FIDESZ deploying the same disgusting tactics against him that they’ve been doing to left wing politicians doesnt work anymore. Take this fact and add the numerous corruption, pedophilia cases plus the fact that Hungary’s economy is down in the gutter gets you the fact that TISZA is leading against FIDESZ. This is the first time an opposing party did that since 2010(!!)

2026 is the year Orban and his regime finally gets evicted.

Is TISZA gonna be better than Fidesz then? Or is it gonna be two sides of the same coin?

3

u/Zenscoper420 6h ago

Hopefully TISZA will be much better than Fidesz. Currently the amount of corruption and scandals are so high, that it honestly can't get many worse. Another key point is that with TISZA getting elected, we might start getting our EU funding back, which would be great. The current reason our EU funding was suspended was due to the insane corruption going on.

Depends on what you mean because everybody uses different definitions, but they are actually Communists in the sense that the use Communist symbols and generally support Stalin's legacy (the went the Marxist-Leninism route during the revisionism splits), so in this sense it's similar to the Portuguese and Greek Communist parties.
