This is going to be hard to say, but I think that there are so many discharge requests being submitted, and so many disillusioned soldiers, that the Hungarian Defence Forces and the country’s defense only exist as long as the state of wartime emergency remains in place. As soon as that is lifted, every one of them will leave, and our defense capability will drop close to zero.
We’ve reached a point where three scandals break out in a single day—scandals that, in an average government within the European Union, would already lead to its downfall. We’re at the stage where, as ordinary voters, we open our little calendars every morning just to see what has exploded that day. But the problem is, our calendar is already burning from the inside—and not just the calendar, but the functioning of the entire country, the entire government is burning from within. Every day, it’s not just skeletons falling out of the closet, but entire graveyards.
Because what we see is that over 16 years, the government has slowly ruined the country, and nothing works properly anymore. People can be wiretapped using secret service methods just to obtain information about the largest opposition party. If that doesn’t work, the police are sent to them under suspicion of pedophilia, and all data storage devices are seized.
We’ve learned that people are being paid—with drugs, alcohol, or anything—for their votes. And if that doesn’t work, their children are taken away if they don’t vote for Fidesz.
It has also come to light that the Hungarian Defence Forces are currently in a situation where, if there were no emergency state, more than half of the entire military would resign. The armed forces would have no personnel, because everyone wants to leave, but they cannot, because there has been a state of emergency for—I don’t know—20 years.
We are at the point where, in terms of functionality, the country has failed. What the government is doing is destroying the entire country as it is. People are dying—sorry to put it this way, but we are at the point where people are dying because our healthcare system is below rock bottom. No money is being spent on it. The government’s biggest fight is waging war against Ukraine, Soros, and Brussels, while internally there are problems that cause people to lose their jobs every day, people die, and people lose family members—because the government does not deal with these issues.
We beat our chests about utility price cuts, and then we attack Ukrainians, saying they are the ones not giving us support. Meanwhile, our “best friend,” Donald Trump, has started a war with Iran, because of which no support is coming here—whether fuel, oil, and so on. You all know this. I don’t want to repeat it a thousand times—just notice that every day there are scandals that this government should have already fallen over long ago. They should have said: “Sorry, guys, we’re stopping, we’re not doing this right.”
Instead, we still see Péter Szijjártó attacking the opposition and attacking Bence Szabó, who is speaking out about what happened, and Viktor Orbán calling him a “fool.” Is this really where we are? People, come on.
[sigh] On April 12, we decide. If this damn country decides to continue this, then you deserve it.
Go ahead.
