This is from last month...
This is how you get rid of bastards like this.
And it's already begun here.
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary’s populist prime minister Saturday vowed to rid his country of those he claims work for the interests of foreign powers, saying in a conspiracy theory-laden speech that his right-wing government will eliminate a global “shadow army” that serves the European Union and a “liberal American empire.”
Meanwhile, tens of thousands gathered in central Budapest in a show of strength against the long-serving prime minister, and in support of a new political force that aims to bring an end to Orbán’s rule and his economic system in elections next year.
The dueling demonstrations, which coincided with a national holiday commemorating Hungary’s 1848 revolution against the Habsburg Empire, came as the Central European country struggles with an inflation and cost of living crisis that have helped fuel growing dissatisfaction with Orbán and his autocratic style of governance.

That dissatisfaction has coalesced around Péter Magyar and his upstart Tisza party, which polls show are neck and neck or even several points ahead of Orbán’s Fidesz party with around a year to go before elections.

(33,716 posts)Those protests were MASSIVE. Orban is the Hungarian Trump, and his shit has been wearing thin for some time now. Hungary's economy, like that of every other country in the world that's being run by a dictator of his ilk is circling the bowl. Here's hoping they get rid of that POS.

(57,713 posts)He is not going to get an invasion force from his socialist "brothers" to send tanks into downtown Budapest in order to preserve his rule. If the majority of the Hungarians want him out, and are willing to make big enough a show of it, then he's out. Jó éjszakát!
