Die-cast deja vu please, nothing but unadulterated, die-cast deja vu. Well no? Since Gyurcsány has been preparing, it has been clear. In addition, we already know what, but how, I wouldn't call it crystal clear yet.

Because obviously no way. Nah. It's the same old note, something has to be said to the sect members, a post-campaign made up of boringly familiar halftones, or what, and if the electoral memory of DK voters didn't rival that of a moth, the preparation might even need an explanation. However, this danger does not threaten the party leader. Although...

Do we remember?

For months from the spring of 2017, he teased the independent, objective media, which is always ready to take his word for it, and which is known to hardly exist, that he would soon be in possession of documents that would provide conclusive evidence. With some Russian help, he will prove - because Russian help was still politically correct at the time - that Orbán is a common law criminal. And the show started.

On April 21, he said on ATV's Straight Talk program that "I know that Prime Minister Orbán was confronted with certain facts and documents that are quite embarrassing for him, so that he will consider at least five times whether to fulfill President Putin's request."

In response to a question, he also said that he had seen the documents, but refused to reveal more. He added that if he is sued for his statement, he will be able to prove that he is right in the judicial process.

Then three days later, at a press conference, he gave Viktor Orbán an ultimatum, sue him or clear himself.

"If the prime minister doesn't sue, he's admitting that the Russians really know about his illegal finances and can blackmail him."

Gyurcsány already said there that he saw copies of documents about corruption through intermediaries. Then again, three days later, he wrote a long post in which he said:

"Fully aware of my responsibility, I declare that if the documents I have seen are authentic, the prime minister has seriously violated Hungarian laws and betrayed his country. He does not act as the Prime Minister of Hungary, but as a blackmailable agent of Russia - and he concluded with this:

"the prime minister has only one option left, he can pray that the documents are not made public, because this will not simply lead to his political downfall, but to a decade-long prison sentence, his human, moral and political destruction".

Afterwards, he told Index that he was not filing a complaint because he did not have the documents.

Then on May 1, hvg.hu staff asked him what happened to the document. At the time, he talked about how it is difficult to say when it is necessary to turn to the public and Polt's prosecutor's office, because he would not have minded if Orbán sued him, because then the court can order proof of reality, and he is not related to the prosecutor's office:

"There is also an expectation of a miracle, my God, if Orbán could be replaced with a piece of paper, Gyurcsány would solve that"

he explained.

The next day, again on ATV's Ejenes Beszéd program, he revealed another detail: it is a bank paper that is "probably in Russian hands", but he does not know exactly, because they were negotiating in English. He heard the story for the first time years ago, orally from a high-ranking intermediary, with a Slovak accent.

After a long trickle, the story reached its climax on May 16, when Gyurcsány told HírTv Egyenesen that

"Viktor Orbán has or had a Swiss bank account, I don't know if he has one today",

for which a significant sum of HUF 100 million was received. The unbiased, objective Olga Kálmán, now from DK, asked if it was a Swiss or a Singaporean bank, to which Gyurcsány simply said, "it's moving in the right direction". When asked if it was from President Putin, Gyurcsány said for the second time,

"Yes or no."

Then, due to the supposed vacation of the Gyurcsány family, the next development in the case did not occur until the beginning of July; On the 6th, Népszava wrote:

"Ferenc Gyurcsány has agreed on the price of secret evidence against Viktor Orbán. If the information is authentic, he will pay the roughly HUF 300 million and make the papers public."

Again with some omissions, in the middle of September he also spoke in his interview with Zúrpubi that he is still working to obtain authentic papers, and when asked whether he would bring the documents from Orbán's foreign bank account to Jesus for Christmas, he replied that:

“I would like you to bring it by October 23rd.”

Then that's it.

Snitt, the balloon burst, and the celebration of the 1956 revolution and freedom struggle forced Viktor Orbán to be free again.

What can I say? I can't wait for the finish of this year's preparations.
