Huge protests against Orban in Budapest.

Isn’t Orban a tRump mentor! Maybe I misunderstood what I read!

yokaicafe.bsky.social•1 day ago

These fascist f**** like T. Carlson, tRump & MAGAts, idolize Orban. How Orban addresses this, or how successful the protesters are, is potentially going to have an impact on actions taken here.

yokaicafe.bsky.social•1 day ago

Interesting read. I had no idea Radio Free Europe had a news site. Orban is vowing a "Crackdown". He also invoked George Soros in his rantings. 🙄

Me too. I was in Budapest before Orban and the people were genuinely warm and friendly. I wish them the best of luck getting out from under the current leadership.

Me, too! It's a beautiful country, and I'm wishing them the best.

Why? They've been an utter disaster for the EU. They continue to elect an authoritarian Soviet wannabe and offer us nothing but a gun to our head and blackmail. It's full of bigots and has no place in the EU. It belongs in BRICS

Wow frump is doing a great job he’s inspiring other countries to fight against dictatorship

myassesdragon.bsky.social•19 hours ago

I visited Hungary as a teenager in 1981 and saw how much they wanted to be free of the Soviet Union. I can not understand how a totalitarian like Orban was able to be elected, and given his ties to Russia, how he has remained in office.

iamapyriteking.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I lived there when they were tossing the communists out. I stood in a crowd like that marching in support of the Romanian revolution in 1989. I was there when Fidesz got started as what seemed to be a real Young Democrats party.

Short answer: influx of Russian Mafia money after the USSR collapsed.

It’s also National Day in Hungary. They could be celebrating that.

gbalbona.bsky.social•1 day ago

In the early 90s, I was in Hungary chasing a lovely American ESL teacher in Eger. Hungary had just freed itself from communist rule & become democratic. The people were wonderful but not yet used to having so many choices/ freedom. I hope Hungarians free themselves from Orban’s repressive rule!!!

isosolies.bsky.social•1 day ago

The Hungarian government and especially Orban is without exaggeration a curse on the EU. Probably Russia, socially regressive, autocratic, obstructionist. They stay in the EU just for the handouts but constantly criticise it in state controlled media. It's a template for Trumps government.

Sending my thoughts to those in Budapest standing up for their beliefs. It’s always inspiring to see people come together for change, even in challenging times. Hoping for a peaceful resolution and a better future for all. Stay strong.

god help them

15 of March is like Independence Day in Hungary, this is not a demo, it’s a normal celebration.

xeena2812.bsky.social•20 hours ago

No, this was definitely a protest against the Orban regime, it was just held on a national holiday, as turn out is expected to be higher then, and it signals taking back our national symbols.

javidude.bsky.social•17 hours ago

It might have been a ad hoc protest, but the people mainly went out as every other 15th of March to celebrate the Memorial Day of the 1848 revolution. 🤷🏻‍♂️ not like the protests organised specifically in Serbia. https://studyinhungary.hu/blog/hungary-s-march-15-national-holiday-a-brief-overview

Yup it’s their birthday and then October 23rd is the tire Independence Day.

joowho.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Even more so than October 23rd? Was in Hungary last year for that in the capital and it was insane.

Was under the impression that day was the big one with august 20th second and yesterday being minor

alv134.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Also, if I read correctly, the person running against Orban is someone from his same party with the same conservative belief system. So even though there may very well, be people flooding the streets, it seems like it will just be for more of the same pretending to be different.

javidude.bsky.social•21 hours ago

The person running against orban is the husband of an ex orban minister that had to resign for hiding and granting a pardon to a paedo involved in a child protection services scandal.

alv134.bsky.social•21 hours ago

So what do you think, is he pro democracy or will he just be more of the same?

javidude.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Absolutely not, the guy is as bad or worse than Orban, certainly not an alternative to make things better in Hungary.

alv134.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Yeah, that was kind of my worry, so what’s happening though because it does seem like a large sloth of the population is rallying behind him.

mrkltpzyxm.bsky.social•1 day ago
