The left-wing parties have not been able to lift the Hungarian reality from the top shelf even in a decade.
Mór Jókai stood before the representatives in the Parliament in 1861 and said:
"every word is equal to the weight of actions here and now, and surely everyone must be convinced that what I am saying now, I did not just say that word, but I also acted on that word".
Béla Varga appeared before the representatives in 1990 and said:
"The fact that we are now alone and will be responsible for our mistakes must be deeply embedded in the Hungarian consciousness. Human freedom is not a condition, but a task. Along with the falling of the shackles comes the human duty imposed on ourselves. It is sometimes more difficult to be free than to be a prisoner..."
Viktor Orbán stood up in 2010 and said:
"I'm going to fight. I am undertaking a struggle in which I will face great forces, but those who know me even a little, know that I am not swayed by obstacles and hurdles".
András Fekete-Győr stood up in 2022 and...
there are few things more irrelevant than what he says.
Even in the most permissive way, the only thing that can be said is that he is not the "great power" whose arrival the Prime Minister expected in 2010. It is true that the few rocking chairs of the opposition benches are currently carrying a burden from which, if lifted, it would not only be concluded with the greatest benevolence that the rhetorician's mouth is moving.
They have been cooking the same recipe for a decade, which consists of the electoral system, the global economic situation, luck playing into the government's hands (coronavirus?!), propaganda and, above all, blaming Hungarian citizens who do not recognize their own interests, but during the same decade they could not lower the the Hungarian reality from the top shelf.
Around this time, the Minister of Agriculture cannot mutter a prayer over the cracked Hungarian nuggets as much as he can shove into his chest in half an hour before the agenda from the at least as cracked opposition side. Now, the left-liberal reactions to the prime minister's speech in Tusnádfürdő are slipping into line without resistance.
We learned that Viktor Orbán did not forget to unsubscribe from the list of European politicians, which according to the opposition calendar he will do regularly for most of the century, if we understand correctly, but we also learned that "you need a drink to listen to the prime minister's speech." We squeeze. Alcohol has already helped the opposition to jump over bigger obstacles. For example, he brought together the wreckage coalition in which the fallen slob was promoted to leader, they spat on some of the founding declarations and fought their way to less than a third.
Of course, they have an answer to the result. The list is above. But to the point of asking the question, let's bite the bullet with which they have been trying to make the left-bank ditch attractive for 10 years: tell me, what would happen if, for example, the conduct of the election returned to the 2010 system? Would one start saying smart things? Would the other gobbler kick his galloping demons instead of fearing the traitors within? Would 3 million be less than 1.8 million? And most of all: is there anyone who can add three meaningful thoughts to such interpretations of the world as the Prime Minister's speech in Tusnádfürdő?
Now they are shouting Nazis, those who domesticated the Nazis in the election campaign.
Representatives and their intellectual hinterland are horrified. It is possible that the banners are already being prepared, now the shaken stand should not be played in favor of personal number 2, not gypsies, not migrants and not food couriers.
In politics, those who do not communicate are not present. The Hungarian opposition, on the other hand, has no choice but to remain silent. With their communication, they prove how absent they are from Hungarian everyday life.
As a child, the chronicler carved more complicated wooden wedges while sitting on the banks of the Cuhai-Bakony River, as the left-liberal actors once again testified to. That's enough for the opposition. That's enough for the opposition! Even so, in an ever-decreasing proportion, because the Hungarian left-liberal side apparently cannot grow up with its own voters, who also tolerate this less and less.
Of course, it is nobody's business to prevent them from the noble struggle for opposition positions, but scientific curiosity still raises some questions: for example, what does it take for someone not to insist on such a minimum that he should at least read up on the subject before speaking in Parliament? We don't say it, the credit goes to their own ideologues:
"if someone doesn't have the basic need to be prepared, no political advisor will help them."
Or, for example, what does it take for someone to interpret the official visit of the Chief of Staff of the Hungarian Defense Forces to a besieged country as "the government sent soldiers to war?" Which simmering must be released in order for the footwater of blissful thoughtlessness to travel so unhindered to the level of the mind? In Ady's ferry country, how can someone who does not see what is happening on the odd side of Margit körút reach the level of a potential manager? We understand: it is important who is leading the line from Washington or Brussels, but Kiev is closer to Hungarian everyday life!
Will there be anyone who will make the governing parties compete?
Failed Prime Minister aspirants, failed party presidents, failed faction leaders - all three cups are waiting to be scorned in the showcase of the less fortunate - who apparently have neither knowledge nor preparation, just their reflexes. We should reach for the Hungarian reality on the top shelf. It will be there, behind the gift-boxed Unicum!
