"... no one should be surprised that the Hungarian opposition has nothing to say apart from O1G. And without something to say, there is no politics. There is fiddling, hot flashes and fist-shaking. And that's not enough - wrote Mária Schmidt on the Látószög blog, sending a harsh message to the CEU professor. The historian recommends courage instead of bullshitting.

- As long as the commentators of the world outside the NER provide such dogmatic, schematic, empty answers to their politicians and friends of political principle, use such incomprehensible language, and so slavishly belch back at the panels of their Western clients, or in this case, their employers,

 no one should be surprised that the Hungarian opposition has nothing to say apart from O1G. And without something to say, there is no politics. There is fiddling, hot flashes and fist-shaking. And that's not enough

- wrote Mária Schmidt on the Látószög blog, in response to András Bozóki's interview with Magyar Narancs , which Magyar Nemzet .

The professor of the political science department of CEU in Vienna made a statement to the weekly newspaper at the end of September, in which - according to Mária Schmidt -

 Bozóki's knife breaks right from the beginning to define the nature of the Orbán system he wanted to criticize.

- He calls it an autocracy, a hybrid regime and an electoral autocratic system. Exciting, huh? The opposition voter slaps his forehead and exclaims: finally! So that's what I'm up against! - said the historian.

To Bozóki's claim that Viktor Orbán is destroying the functioning of democracy on a systemic level, the historian responded, "why doesn't he have the courage to explain what he means by democracy?" - In a democracy, the majority decides on politics, so it decides on the common future of its community. There is a majority behind Orbán, a significant majority, a four-times two-thirds majority - stated Mária Schmidt in her analysis, indicating that, according to Bozóki, he is not a democrat after all. - But he is a populist (this is obviously a curse word for him) who wants to return democracy to the people. I sense a definitional problem here. If the source of power is the electorate, i.e. the people, so the people are the sovereign, then if the institutions extend their power at their expense and thus override the will of the people, then it is not a right, or even a necessary step, to return the power to them ?

Why doesn't Bozóki have the courage to state the obvious instead of stupid bullshit?

asked the historian.

Bozóki is the real Soros chick

In the interview, the CEU professor expressed his joy because "the EU plays a serious limiting role in the life of the Orbán regime, which has led to huge withdrawals of money and other, finer distinctions", to which Mária Schmidt put it, "This is the argument of a person temporarily stationed in our country, A global citizen with Stockholm syndrome, a real Soros-tsicka, who now identifies with his breadwinners at such a level that he identifies with the union and the US Democratic Party administration, which makes ever more decisive demands of subjugation and suffocation, one could say colonialist, against the interests of the Hungarian people". The historian stated,

that's why they punished us by depriving us of money, while they tried to humiliate us and make us suffer. Because we said no to György Soros' plan, we opposed his institutions and NGOs.

In the interview, Bozóki regrets that Orbán's system has become embedded, that it has become part of everyday life, that is, it has become socialized. "He thinks this is a big problem." I think it is the biggest success, the most important legitimizing factor. Orbán's system is not about the elite, it is not for the elite, but for the majority. It serves their interests, their lives, their present and their future. It was communism that was about elites. What they, the main narrators of the time, verified, glossed over, explained and gloated about - responded Mária Schmidt.

Mária Schmidt responded to Bozóki's suggestion that "the group in power has degraded the quality of public discourse, it mostly politicizes for the less educated, there are no sophisticated arguments, there are no sectoral political debates that are usual in a normal country",

For example, Péter Magyar "replaces political speech with dozens of fashion photos every day", and Viktor Orbán holds monthly world-class lectures on the importance of the world system change, the tasks facing the economy, and the prospects for increasing European performance like no one else.

- The whole world is watching, analyzing and using his speeches, except for the members of the Bozóki elite, who are satisfied with the panels prepared by the Soros network, because they are not capable of independent thinking - said the historian.
