If you left your house in the last couple of days, you probably noticed that posters of the newest government campaign were spread all over the country. You can literally bump into one on every corner, at the bus stop, next to the road, in the newspaper, etc. It is impossible to avoid them, so let’s talk about why they appeared and what they are trying to say.
The New York Times writes that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “has added to long-running tensions between Budapest and Brussels” with his newest campaign targeting Soros and Juncker.
On the posters, Soros and Juncker’s faces appear next to each other, and the original Hungarian text says: “Önnek is joga van tudni, mire készül Brüsszel” which means “You have the right to know what Brussels is planning to do”.
If you did not know who Jean-Claude Juncker was, his name might ring a bell from the time he greeted Orbán with the jokey “hello, dictator” while also playfully tapping his face.

The Hungarian government claims that the posters are part of an information campaign to tell the public about Brussels’ migration plans. According to the Hungarian government, this so-called plan “fundamentally endangered Hungary’s safety”.
