It would have been nice if one of the mayor's 50 advisers told him how to press the button. Of course, that would have given him no idea when to press and when to speak. So he just listened hyper-passively…

Dániel Bohár published the video of the Big Burn This unfortunate Geri is sitting (it will only be revealed later) in front of his computer, probably wondering why he isn't somewhere else. Then he had in mind that there is no more suitable candidate for prime minister in the world than him , and he did not understand the request inviting him to the conversation not because his language skills were lacking, but because he was swaying in a sea of ​​more important thoughts.

But it is also possible that we are wrong and he cannot understand even the simplest English sentence. However, he is hyper-passive and can handle English very well.

Our colleague Bohár commented on the video excerpt as follows: "This is how Gergely Karácsony is unlucky at an international conference! You won't believe this... Is he really the right person at the head of Budapest (and as a candidate for prime minister) when he can't even press a button by himself when asked in English?"

For those who do not understand English, the desperate sentences of the conversation moderator, with which he tried to get Karácsony to speak, were subtitled:

"Mr. Christmas, You Own the Field"

Answer: profound silence.

"Mr. Christmas, is he there?"

Silence again, presumably in the background the interpreter who supports language skills informs the mayor that he is being spoken to. Then the moderator says:

"Mr. Christmas, could you please press the button that accepts the invitation to the conversation?… the invitation to the conversation."

After some time (presumably listening to the interpreter's text), Karácsony (or the interpreter) was able to press it, because the moderator indicated:

“Yeah, here it is, okay…Yeah, we see.”

Vágul Karácsony only spoke, albeit with hyperactive Hungarian. After his first sentence, it is not him, but the voice of a dubbing interpreter , this time really in English.

I can tell you for sure, he would be the real prime minister. The title of the great Bill Murray film is fitting: The Man Who Knew Too Little (And Too Little).
