If someone was born a Hungarian, that in itself is important for all his compatriots. But just because someone is of Hungarian origin is not a guarantee that, on the one hand, they have a sense of Hungarian identity, and, on the other hand, that they are not exactly a dirty villain. (I said this in general, of course.)
Lajos Ódor was recently appointed by Slovak President Zuzana Caputová to head the new, temporary government of experts.
And now we can admire the fact that Slovakia finally has a prime minister of Hungarian origin for four months.
But I recommend that you don't necessarily get fat from this in itself.
After all, if you think about it more, György Soros also has Hungarian citizenship, he is Jewish and of Hungarian origin. However, György Soros, aka Uncle Gyuri, is not known for providing Hungary with enormous help. Rather, it is about the fact that he is doing everything in order to realize his own goals related to a globalist, open society, and the first step for him can be no other than driving Viktor Orbán and his government out of power. And he wants to achieve this by harming our country wherever he can.
And if we think about it more, Ferenc Gyurcsány and his lovely wife, Klára Dobrev, are also people of Hungarian origin, Hungarian citizens, right?
On the other hand, if we hear from the good Ferink himself in his interview on Spirit FM that their only basic goal is to prevent Hungary from receiving the EU funds due to it, which concretely means that they are causing spectacular harm to the country - see, for example, the increase in teachers' wages -, then, even though they are of Hungarian origin, they do not deserve our "ab ovo" recognition.
Moreover, as Hungarian people, they alone and exclusively deserve our contempt, nothing else. Hungarians who harm their own country - these people are called traitors by our very straight-talking compatriots who otherwise act with justified anger.
But returning to papa Soros: about Lajos Ódor, Robert Fico, the leader of the opposition SMER, who maintains a good relationship with Viktor Orbán, said that he is clearly Soros's man, teaches at CEU, and was previously connected to organizations linked to Soros. He even added that the President did not appoint him as Prime Minister by chance and not out of free will, and in fact the entire cabinet was not the proposal of the President of the Republic, but the choice of György Soros, that is, the Ódor government follows the Soros philosophy and Soros interests. government.
Fico never hid the fact that he considers Caputova to be Soros's man. You can think anything about this, but the fact is that Caputová was really close to Soros' circles and network before.
If we look at Fico's argument this way, we can certainly conclude that his derivation is not illogical...
But be careful with judgement, I myself think that we should not draw the wet sheet over Ódor in advance, and although we do not have to love him like Emília Ódor, we should not say anything bad about him in advance. Let's believe that the fact that he is of Hungarian origin might be of importance to Hungarians in Slovakia. In principle, this would also be logical.
But the fact is that the other day I was a little shaken in my intention to give Ódor time.
Because of the scene that took place after the ceremony surrounding his appointment.
It so happened that the members of the new cabinet of experts were marching with dignified slowness in the courtyard of the presidential palace of the republic, when a Hungarian journalist, the correspondent of Ma7.sk there, approached Ódor and addressed him in Hungarian: "Mr. Prime Minister! Prime Minister!". Ódor didn't look at him, or only for a moment, and the journalist asked his quick question: "Mr. Prime Minister, what is your message to the Hungarians? Do you have a message for Hungarian voters?"
The answer is nothing. No reaction. Ódor went on as if his Hungarian "compatriot" was not even there.
You can now protect Ódor one way or another.
But I think it is indefensible that he was not able to utter a single sentence to the Hungarian correspondent, at least as much as "I welcome them" or something like that. I do not accept that this would have ruined all his reputation in front of the Slovaks (if this is the most important aspect for him!), in front of the members of the cabinet, in which two (!) Hungarians also hold ministerial positions.
This is a pure compromise and an attempt to prove your good "Slovakianness".
However, he also did this in a very impolite way.
His silence seems to be consent - to Fico's assessment.
But don't be wrong, I wish it from the bottom of my heart!
