Since Gergely Karácsony has been playing state within the state, he is no longer satisfied with the help of traitors accredited to Brussels, but is also building his own foreign policy team.
In July of last year, the news broke that in the fall he would launch a "city diplomacy academy" for those university students and recent graduates who want to enter the world of international and city diplomacy. The academy is headed by Péter Balázs, former foreign minister of the Bajna government and professor at the Central European University (CEU).
According to the website of this organization (Office of International Relations), the foreign affairs assault team was named Budapest City Diplomacy. Currently, nine people work in it to lobby for EU funds for the capital, to "participate proactively" in "progressive (i.e. liberal) city associations" and in the Pact of Free Cities within the framework of the agreement made with the liberal leaders of the capitals of the V4 countries.
Well, we have now found someone among the foreign affairs staff in question.
Not just anywhere, but on the website of the New York-registered Human Rights foundation (HRF.org), in a recent article. The bombastic title: Is the end near for Viktor Orbán? Not surprisingly, right from the beginning we found all the panels in it, which have to be repeated ad infinitum (see Göbbels) in order for the Western peoples to accept it as truth.
Let's quote it verbatim: "For more than 10 years, Viktor Orbán and his colleagues have ruled Hungary. Since his election in 2010, Orbán has slowly but steadily dismantled all of Hungary's democratic institutions. The constitution, the judiciary, the free press and municipal councils were reorganized to serve the political and business interests of Orbán and his inner circle.
At the start of the coronavirus epidemic, a rubber-stamp parliament gave Orbán the power to decide by decree, effectively eliminating the last vestiges of supervision - Péter Krekó explained at HRF's COVIDCon conference last year."
Nocsak: according to them, this foundation invited Krekó to last year's conference.
But let's skip ahead, because the Christmas man will also appear in the article soon. Again we quote verbatim:
László Gendler, an employee of the Office of the Mayor, described the media culture in Hungary as "completely one-sided". In fact, there is hardly a single newspaper, radio or TV station that is not friendly to the regime. And as in the case of index.hu, even online sources are increasingly rare. This allows Orbán to hide corruption to a degree that is unimaginable in other EU countries. Hungary's richest man and Orbán's childhood friend, Lőrinc Mészáros, once suggested that he could thank "God, luck and Viktor Orbán" for the huge new wealth, which he accumulated mostly through favorable government contracts. This is the cycle of corruption, Gendler explained. "The richer Orbán's friends are, the more independent media they buy. And the less independent the media, the less people know about corruption.''
"There is a lot of wishful thinking on the opposition side," Gendler continued. If the opposition really wins the elections, corrupt officials and politicized judges will not disappear overnight, and neither will Viktor Orbán. The billions your friends stole won't magically return, and government contracts can't be quickly rewritten. The process of rebuilding democracy will take a long time in Hungary, but winning the elections would be a good first step."
There's another very interesting part in the article that I'm not sure Gendler said. We quote:
"The EU could also do more. (…) EU leaders must take a tough stance against Orbán, drawing attention to his corruption and disregard for European values, and not allowing him to use EU money for his own purposes.(…) Hungarians do not necessarily need external help to to restore democracy, but they need Western democracies to stop authorizing the Orbán system."
Well, who is László Gendler? LinkedIn profile revealed that he has been working in Karácsony's foreign affairs team for three months. According to his Facebook profile, he was born in Ithaca, New York, went to school in Connecticut, then attended Yale University, where he majored in history.
So far, he has mainly participated in political campaigns, namely only those of Democratic Party politicians, such as Senator Howard Sherman, Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards of Louisiana, and Democratic Representative Joseph Patrick Kennedy III of Massachusetts.
Based on these, Gendler might be a smart guy. It's a shame that he only reaches the usual liberal platitudes and apparently has no idea about everything that has happened in Hungary in the last 10 years.
