Greetings to Hungarian people! 300k people went out to protest against the corrupt Orban's regime. Something very similar happened in Bucharest in 2018. 600k people (me included) rioted against the corrupt leading party (PSD) to keep Romania in line with the West. The corrupt leader went to jail and the plans to get close to Russia and China were abandoned.

Will Orban join Eduard Shevardnadze, Vitalie Pîrlog, Askar Akayev, Viktor Yanukovych, and Serzh Sargsyan as pro-Russian leaders who thrown out of office because of protests? Also why is it that the most corrupt leaders in former communist countries are pro-Russian?

ETA: A little backgorund on the protests.

quote:

Magyar became widely known in February when he became the government’s whistleblower and delivered incendiary comments about the inner workings of Orban’s administration.

In March, he published a recording on his Facebook page of a January 2023 conversation with his ex-wife Varga, in which she detailed an attempt by aides to Orban’s cabinet chief, Antal Rogan, to interfere in the prosecution files in a corruption case centred on former Ministry of Justice State Secretary Pal Volner.

The former husband of one of Orban's ex-Justice minister spilled the beans on the dirty tricks that his former wife used on Orban's behalf to cover up corruption.

This must have been included in the $1.2 trillion spending bill that no one read.

Who knew that being anti-Europe would affect politicians in areas with populations trying to become developed European

That's what happened in Ukraine in 2014.

Orban wins a in Hungary by about 80-20.

This is a paid 3-letter/Soros op... Plain and simple.

The good thing is, Orban obviously knows this. He's kind of a gangster who basically got Soros banned from his home country. He's a very savvy dude.

A country that was forced into subservience's to Russia and the USSR for decades isn't going to want to get close to their former tyrannical occupiers.

Orban is one of the only world leaders I respect, so I don't doubt our piece of shite government is trying to overthrow him.

Why can’t we have a good 600k protest and get someone removed from office just like that? Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Except, I have to go to work Monday, so could we do it, like in a zoom meeting?

So Russia meddling in another country is bad, but the EU meddling is good?

Orban is INCREDIBLY popular.

This would be like saying that ANTIFA is a good barometer of the American populace.

My guess is that these are paid agitators that are being lauded by the MSM (also corrupt imho).

What if I told you “who cares?”. It’s Hungary’s business and not for the US to be concerned. I don’t care about what happens in Europe or Russia as long as it doesn’t affect the US and it hasn’t. We need to mind our own business.

When the US is promoting anti-corruption efforts in your country, they’re getting ready to overthrow your government.

Hungarians don’t react well to corruption. If Orban doesn’t abuse his position, he will be fine.
