Is Huxit an option? What does it mean that the domestic opposition is "directed from the outside"? Who and where is Ursula von der Leyen "bound"? What do gender and queer theories have to do with all of this, or rather III. Charles as a British monarch? The Mandiner asked political scientist Tamás Fricz, spokesperson of the Civil Solidarity Forum, about the new broadcast of Kommentár Klub, which runs on M5.

The left-wing, left-liberal opposition has been thinking in the spirit of internationalism for a hundred years, so since the regime change, for them "the world will become international" has always been a real goal. The post-communist left and the left-liberals associated with the former SZDSZ found each other in this; it is no coincidence that they entered into a coalition in 1994, then governed together again from 2002 until 2010. I remember, at the time of our entry into the Union, a left-wing political scientist with a black belt explained to me that if we become members of the EU, all our problems will be solved, because we simply have to adopt the patterns, political institutions, values, norms, and goals that they have given us. are offered - the loss of our sovereignty did not appear to him as a problem, but rather as an advantage. Therefore, the current opposition did not become a company controlled by international, global left-liberal networks in recent years, but it is a fact that in the recent period, as a result of their repeated defeats, their foreign influence has become even more visible and marked.

This appears in spiritual, organizational and financial aspects as well. Of these three, financial support is the basis with which they can control the Hungarian left-wing parties and their leaders in a crude and crude way, because we know very well: whoever pays the musicians, they draw their notes. Ferenc Gyurcsány himself already spoke about the financial support in 2013, when he said suspiciously that "it's better if you don't know where the money came from".

The intellectual ammunition, the "progressive" ideas, are also received from outside, from the idea of ​​the United States of Europe to the LGBTQI ideology to the acceptance of migrants and beyond. Not by chance, because today's left and left-liberal side in Hungary has nothing to say that can be understood by Hungarian society. Finally, the contours of organizational control became visible, as it becomes more and more obvious that the left-wing politicians controlling from the background, such as Gordon Bajnai and Dávid Korányi, are members of several global background power organizations - see, among others, the European Council on Foreign Relations founded by György Soros ( ECFR), the Atlantic Council, Datadat , or the recently established Action for Democracy .

Does this external control always come about through specific negotiations, deals and the like? Or does it often happen that political actors - simply due to their nature and disposition - sort of "know their business"?  

The various relationship systems were created in the last decades, but they were especially strengthened in the period after 2010, obviously as a response to the fact that the foreign background forces, mainly associated with György Soros and sharply opposed to Fidesz, could see that the left-wing opposition alone was unable to overthrow him. the two-thirds power of the Orbán government - because he became incapable of this both intellectually and personally. It was a striking change in the fall of 2018 that the opposition parties, which had previously been quite divided and argued with each other, suddenly acted in concert and together: they carried out parliamentary obstructions, campaigned on Hungarian Television, etc. At that time, it was already apparent that they were receiving help and inspiration for this from the background, from the outside - but we still had little concrete information.

In the last year, however, we learned more: in the Anonymous videos, Gyula Gansperger talked about how the Hungarian left is controlled on the one hand by German capital and on the other by the Soros network, in which Gordon Bajnai plays a key role - as a kind of connector. Later, the negotiations became clear: we learned, for example, that Márki-Zay secretly negotiated with Gordon Bajnai in London and with the liberal historian Timothy Garton Ash in the so-called Chatham House, also known as the Royal Institute of Foreign Affairs in London, but in addition, both are members of the aforementioned ECFR to. Márki-Zay said that among the advisers of the Action Democracy foundation is retired general Wesley Clark, with whom he discussed the Russian-Ukrainian war.
