Leftist tolerance is only capable of accepting their own opinion. He simply ignores others.
The sight of the Hungarian fans as they marched through the streets of Budapest chanting rhymes must have been quite terrifying. The TV showed the army dressed in red and black, waving national flags, a march that also fit the giant demonstration, as they tuned in to the battle. You could see that this was a well-organized company, disciplined and listening to its leaders. The pictures were also posted on social media, so the world could enjoy the Hungarian fiesta.
The European officials immediately felt that the full house match in Budapest should not have been allowed, then the flag forest, the emotional overheat, as young and old sing their national prayer, the anthem, would not be visible. Not so many would see national unity and Hungarian strength. It would not be revealed that the full house was made possible by the government's successful handling of the epidemic, that good organization was the problem-free event, in other words, it would not be revealed how well the Hungarians feel in the Orbán dictatorship. They know how to pay the hefty ticket prices, they are happy with their wonderful stadium, the good weather, and the freedom. They are happy to finally show the world who they really are.
It is fortunate that the Hungarian anti-national line immediately sent the whistle to the West, where is the vulnerable point in the dangerous national machinery. Now, for example, not racism, not anti-Semitism (none of them came up), but the collective term homophobia. All of a sudden there were German politicians who, for political reasons, voluntarily stood up for the rights of LGBTQI people and, in the spirit of tolerance, openness and acceptance, demanded the rainbow decoration of the Allianz Arena in Munich during the Hungarian-German match.
The demand was submitted by SPD Mayor Reiter under pressure from the German national football team (?), the German Homosexual Association (LSVD) and the Munich city leadership, but was also supported by the Christian Socialist Prime Minister of Bavaria, Markus Söder . Although we are in the midst of the election campaign in Germany, every vote counts, the fight for the votes of the gay and trans communities is going on both on the left and on the right. (Just in parentheses, how much the CSU has changed! A few years ago, Viktor Orbán was a guest of honor at the party's congress, but today he is an "unacceptable right-wing nationalist". And yet he is the one who has steadfastly stood by his national and European policies for decades. )
According to the free press (that's all there is), the entire German society wants to see the rainbow symbol of the common system of values lit up in the arena. I don't know if the Germans, who are afraid of expressing their opinion, have made a statement on this common cause? Because according to the Allensbach polling institute, today only 45 percent of citizens in Germany feel that they can speak freely, while the rest prefer to remain silent. Most of the silent majority have right-wing sentiments, but the bravest are the Greens, they are not afraid. They have no one to fear, since they are the ones who practice the terror of opinion.
The silent majority has now raised their voice and launched a signature collection, because they see the Munich demand as "insolence against another European country, the most disgusting form of discrimination" and insulting Hungary. Hungary, like every other country, has the right to its own opinion, in this case to the creation of the "homophobic law" disputed by the Green Left. Other political opinions also fall into the category of otherness, and this should also be accepted. But leftist tolerance is only capable of accepting their own opinion. He simply ignores others . Where do they get the right to use sport for political purposes in the name of football fans, to discriminate against other opinions or even an entire nation?
The right-wing conservative international NGO, CitizenGo, stood up for Hungary. They started to collect signatures, and perhaps the required amount of signatures would have been collected, but UEFA could not wait until then. They made a wise decision when they rejected the Munich claim citing the statute. UEFA is politically and religiously neutral, and the protest against the decision of the Hungarian national parliament is certainly political in nature.
The mayor of Munich scored a big own goal when, as is usual for the Germans, he wanted to force down an international organization. The president of UEFA and Slovenia resisted. Maybe there was a back deal, because the final will be at Wembley and not at Puskas, although there will still be a lot of virus-contaminated water flowing down the Thames until July 11...
