In five days, more than a hundred thousand people joined the Fidesz-launched Stop, Gyurcsány! Stop, Christmas! to the petition, István Hollik, Fidesz's communications director, announced at his press conference on Monday. He added that during the week, it will be possible to join the petition at 2,138 locations, with the help of thousands of volunteers.
Hollik assessed: the number of signatories proves that there are many people who have not forgotten the "crimes" of Ferenc Gyurcsány, how he ruined Hungary before 2010.
During Gyurcsány's eight-year government, he made the country indebted, "beaten the state assets" , sold the Ferihegy airport, the Mol shares, MÁV Cargo, and all the energy supply companies were also taken over by foreigners. All this while the revenues flowed away, disappeared, so the country fell to its knees, in 2010 it was almost a hair's breadth that Hungary did not declare state bankruptcy, said István Hollik.
As the president of the DK, the failed prime minister, who crushed the opposition and dictated the roles in the Gyurcsány show during the primary election, is trying to divert attention from what he did in the fall of 2006, when he leaked the Öszöd speech, by threatening to falsify history. When the Gyurcsányist left was in power, it led a cavalry charge, beat the peacefully celebrating Hungarians with riot police, and shot them with water cannons and rubber bullets. The police fired tear gas at the demonstrators at eye level and also aimed mainly at people's heads with rubber bullets. Almost two hundred people were injured, several protesters suffered permanent injuries. There were also two people whose eyes were shot out, one of whom later committed suicide as a result of the trauma.
"I was simply impressed by the professionalism with which the police did their work and protected me, a decent tax-paying citizen, and I wondered if I should somehow thank them for that?" Of course, I'm even thinking about a salary increase, but maybe it would be even better if we could improve their working conditions. (...) What they just did for us, and I say: for the country, is exemplary," he wrote after the shootings on October 23, 2006.
The Gyurcsány aggression is part of the six-party opposition's campaign. Already in August of last year, he threatened that if he comes to power, he will make the dominant figures of Hungarian cultural and artistic life run down in every sense. "You will have no mercy! They will take you, too, not that long," he threatened the ruling party representatives in the Parliament in April this year. "Then I'll quietly note: this is going to be prison, boys and girls. Deservedly so. Then they told each other about the superiority of civil morality," he wrote in August.
Róbert Répássy, former Fidesz parliamentarian, commented on Gyurcsány's post. "During the administration of Ferenc Gyurcsány, the police kicked opposition demonstrators lying on the ground and caused permanent injuries to some with rubber bullets. The police officers did not testify against their superiors, so the prime minister at the time was not held responsible either," he wrote.
