If you don't believe this is possible, go for it. Or ask Gergery Karácsony!
There is a way that people are seen as stupid. Nowadays, almost every day there is a news report that justifies the claim, yesterday, for example, the united (by Megadja) opposition completely fooled its voters with the mayor's 18-second promotion in English. Let's see the work!
By the way, in the rabbit's tail message, he talks about how " to strengthen our democracy, young people must also be involved, and this must start now" . Therefore, he travels to Poland, to a summer university, where he was invited.
Now, for about two weeks, the media space has been dominated by Christmas's spiral of lies, one of which is the lack of knowledge of a foreign language. We know the details to the point of boredom, whether the mayor now has a state-recognized language exam or not (none, only a lectureship), whether he speaks English or not (he doesn't, citing his own words, which have since become a catchphrase, his language skills are "hyperpassive").
And less than two weeks after that, they shove this video in our faces. Isn't it great? But what is the message? That Karácsony still speaks English, but until now he preferred to lie that he didn't? Or did you improve your "hyperpassive" language skills to perfection in two weeks?
On the other hand, it's sweet how the opposition media carries around the weapon fact like a bloody sword: Karácsony spoke in English. Because he's a superman! In his great effort, Telex even sweats the subject when he puts it like this:
"Even if he doesn't answer questions live at a press conference, he says a sentence or two by heart in front of a camera."
By heart! Do you understand? By heart! How the Telex journalist knows this is a mystery. Perhaps he was standing opposite Kárácsonny and saw that he was not reading, but speaking from memory in those 18 retrials that seemed like an eternity? Or from where?
So, they try to make us look really stupid. However, there is nothing else to talk about here, except that Karácsony and his team felt, feels, that it is really very bad if a candidate for prime minister does not speak any foreign language in the 21st century.
And all of this is spiced up by the friendly fire that comes from Dobrev, who did not fail to emphasize even during his aspirant introduction that he indeed speaks four languages. The DK people know that, don't they? To attack in the back... Because all of this happened before Christmas. And since then, Klára has been giving interviews one after the other, in German, English, whoever asks for it.
So, the Christmas campaign team had to do something, and they did. They exposed the person to the sun, and with the obligatory smile on his face, they read him an English text. It's a shame that it turned out to be so counterproductive. Because a sane person asks the questions already described above: did he lie then or now?
It wouldn't have hurt Karácsony to at least read Gábor G. Fodor's The Orbán Rule , because then he would have learned the first law of the pit, and by drawing appropriate conclusions, he would not have exposed himself to such a sloppy and transparent performance.
The first law of the pit is that "if you're in it, stop digging" (Viktor Orbán, Fidesz Congress, December 13, 2015)
