Our PM. He has been in office since 2010, that makes him the longest serving PM in the EU as far as I know. In terms of his politics he used to be conservative liberal, then he went into nationalism and far right and haven’t looked back ever since. He is a populist who captured the state media, corrupted law and order and pocketed a significant portion of all the money the government had and also whatever the EU gave us. He is constantly antagonizing the usual groups, the EU and George Soros for some reason. Yes literally. Also he basically almost banned free media a few months ago. He is the sort of guy who would be a real pain in the ass as a neighbor or as a family member, nevermind the leader of the government.
Regular protests, giving part of our tax and donating to independent media, talking to right-wing family about all the issues here, voting for the opposition. Sadly the opposition hasn’t been potent lately (all 14 years of Orbán until last year). As in they were idiots. And then finally we got someone who can actually can speak to the masses (Peter Magyar) just last year and now we may get rid of Orban with the elections next year. Well that is if he doesn’t ban Magyar from running.
The pride march was yesterday, the grey march was made by a satirical small party (kétfarkú kutyapárt [two tailed dog party]) which was making fun of the governments stance, amongst many-many-many other things, on pride! The significance of that march was, aside from drawing a penis on the map, that inconsiderably more folks attended that than that of Viktors, which also took place parallel to that! Like hundreds of thousands of people attended one, while only a few thousand attended the other
I think your numbers are a bit off for the gray pride march. I don’t know the numbers, but MKKP even on their better days, don’t pull multiple 10s of thousands, and that Fidesz ralley looked like an impromptu meeting of a couple of hundred.
This one though. I am sorry I couldn’t join, but it was a sight to see the bridge and Rákóczi út fill up like that. 100k+ numbers here.
Me too lol if anyone needs two hungarians answering
Me three
Who’s Orban?

Question for all 3, what are Hungarians doing to get rid of orban?
