Is your power of attorney at risk? Hold a referendum! published on the Soros administration's blog, 444. Legal defender Péter Sárosi already makes an exciting statement in the introduction, when he writes that "this simple formula has helped authoritarian leaders who fear real democracy stay in power for centuries."
According to his thesis, "according to public opinion, the referendum is a tool of direct democracy. And indeed, a grassroots referendum initiative does strengthen democratic control over power. However, authoritarian regimes have also been fond of using referendums for centuries to strengthen their power".
He tries to support all of this with historical examples pulled out by the hair, raped and taken out of context, and then states that "the real people, the real nation - and not the leaders who line up behind the leader , in a unanimous crowd. "
The smell of sweat can already be felt in the title, as it suggests that Orbán was not elected democratically three times in a row, each time with a two-thirds majority, but arbitrarily seized (full) power, which was endangered. That is why he is now trying to legitimize his arbitrary absolute power in the framework of a referendum, with the help of the people against whom he exercises his arbitrariness. how are you
A true democrat does not and cannot have absolute power - not to be confused with strong legitimacy - and therefore whoever has absolute power is not a democrat. And as such, it hardly goes into opposition for two terms, after it has already been in government once (1998–2002), and then makes itself visible again and again in the elections. Let me note that we also know someone from the present period of Hungarian history who seized power, once with a coup against Péter Medgyessy, and once with blatant lying and forgery, but this person is not called Viktor Orbán. Orbán was just as able to lose clearly, unambiguously, without frills, as he was to win.
The article's thesis and its conclusion are similarly laden with a logical error, since the former only recognizes the legitimacy of initiative referendum (referendum initiated from above), which is the approach of the anarchists, in this way, although it speaks of "real" democracy, it is just the opposite with that.
I note in parentheses, when answering future questions about child protection, it will not matter to the voter whether the initiative came from below or from above; you have to decide whether you want "civilians" who have not been chosen or authorized by anyone to convey sexual content to your minor child that you do not agree with and may endanger the child's healthy physical and mental development. All this in the name of a daily-changing, overgrowing ideology – an obsession, in my opinion. Bracket closed.
In his conclusion, the author openly states that there is a difference between voter and voter: the "good people" strengthen civil society, the "bad people" strengthen Orbán. And who can be part of civil society? Anyone who declares war on the civilian government without any sort of democratic election. So the "real" democrat is the one who fears the source of his sovereignty, the people, like the devil fears incense. Do we understand? Therefore, he does not want a referendum that increases the legitimacy of decisions, reflects the true will of the people and the public interest, implements and increases citizen participation, has an informative and political educational effect, and creates the actual equality of citizens. Familiar, right? I hope so, because we'll be moaning for forty years.
But the fact is that Orbán's opposition, the army of die-cast democrats, do not think differently either, their loud slogans are crushed to dust by their real posture in the mortar of discredit. Because it's easy to post about the well-being of the 99 percent, but if you have to politicize based on real values, the principle of the people's sovereignty already becomes a foul-smelling nuisance, and it's appropriate to poke it with the little finger pointed at the Brussels rainbow. Let's see how they felt about the referendum aimed at protecting children:
"I have a message for Orbán: have fun with your ancestors, not your country!" Gyurcsány wrote.
According to Péter Jakab, the Orbáns are in trouble because they pulled the Brussels card and the tool of crisis communication, the referendum.
Hadházy believes that this is just a distracting, lying campaign trick. "It is necessary to announce the boycott of the farce called the referendum and then simply say nothing about this referendum."
According to Bernadett Szél, Orbán's referendum is a qualified case of political pedophilia. "In their final misery, they keep the children as a shield in front of them, they hide behind the mask of child protection, they use them as a tool for their nefarious political goals. There are no words for it. After 11 years, out of nowhere, they invent that our children are in danger."
Fekete-Győr feels that "this referendum is a mockery of democracy, nothing more than self-serving hatred: the government turns Hungarians against Hungarians, stigmatizes and divides them, just to divert attention from the real problems and their own crimes. This hateful referendum should not be participated in any way, therefore Momentum calls on everyone to boycott!"
And DK goes even further than this when it writes that "the Orbán referendum will be invalid and ineffective, we will do something about it" .
Our self-proclaimed world solvers stripped themselves and their real torsos flashed, because the "Don't vote!" invitation and the statement "You can't vote" certainly come from the same root. Do I need to say anything else, Ildiko?
