I wish a speedy recovery to our volunteer!
In Szentendre, a Fidesz activist was shot at with a weapon. This outrageous incident is yet another example of the left-wing violence that must be stopped as soon as possible. They constantly incite and provoke, and are unable for even a moment to stand on the side of the Hungarian people — for them, the only thing that matters is supporting Ukraine.
The national government believes in the power of peace and the community of love, therefore Fidesz is the only safe choice.
A Fidesz activist was shot at in Szentendre. How far beyond the limits does this go? First of all, I wish this activist a psychological recovery, because fortunately I hear that they were not physically harmed, but obviously such a situation is extremely shocking mentally.
It also points to how terrible the wave of hatred is that in recent times has been directed at people with national sentiments — whether they are journalists, activists, or ordinary citizens. The reality is that this feeds on the kind of emotions Péter Magyar is stirring up: unfortunately he is turning Hungarians against Hungarians in a way we have not seen in previous campaign periods — and those campaigns were not exactly polite scout-style conversations either. Something like this has not happened before.
So what I would like is that every responsible Hungarian politician — especially Péter Magyar and the politicians of Tisza — should finally stand on the side of the Hungarian people, stop inciting others, stop standing on Ukraine’s side, and stop taking part in dividing the country, as they are doing right now even as we speak, by not standing up for the interests of the Hungarian people but instead prioritizing their own political interests and the perspectives of Ukraine and Brussels.
This is the consequence of the incitement, the agitation and the hatred that we have been seeing from Tisza politicians in recent weeks. That is the consequence. And I have not even mentioned yet the threats that have also been coming from Ukraine against the democratically elected Hungarian prime minister currently in office.
