Hungarian opposition politicians fined for millions
The leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), Ferenc Gyurcsány has had his salary as a lawmaker docked by 2.4 million forints (EUR 6,480), while Tímea Szabó, the co-leader of Párbeszéd, has been fined 9.6 million forints.
Speaker of Parliament László Kövér said in a statement on Thursday that Gyurcsány had received several warnings to stop interjecting during a statement made by a government lawmaker, and he had ignored each warning.
Meanwhile, he noted that Szabó had raised a banner depicting the symbol of “Fidesz”, the ruling party, with the flag of the People’s Republic of China above it in a red circle before parliamentary state secretary Csaba Dömötör made his statement.
Since she refused to withdraw the banner, and, moreover, the state secretary was forced to return to his seat, the speaker decided to launch disciplinary proceedings.
Kövér added that the statement was shouted down and warnings from the speaker were ignored.
In a Facebook post reacting to the fine, Szabó vowed not to back down “in the fight for the country’s freedom, no matter how hard” Kövér and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “come down” on her.
Szabó noted that her act of protest had been against the ruling parties’ approval of the plan to build the Budapest campus of China’s Fudan University.
She said the timing of the fine was “fitting”, given that Thursday marks the 100th anniversary of the founding the Chinese Communist Party.
Szabo added that she would not be intimidated by Kövér.
“I won’t let Orbán leave each and every Hungarian 110,000 forints and every two-child family close to half a million forints in debt with a 450 billion forint loan from China just for the sake of a Chinese university that will deprive young Hungarians outside the capital of housing, charge 2.5 million forints in tuition fees and serve as a hideout for Chinese secret agents,” she said.
“We won’t turn our country over to the Chinese Communist Party,” Szabó said. “What’s at stake is Hungary’s independence.”

Hungarians – should pay close attention to this on-going developing RELATIONSHIP – with China.
The expression – “Where There’s Smoke – There’s FIRE” – never tryer words have been SPOKEN – on the examination of this “impending” – Marriage.
Parliament – being used as a Stage or a Theatre – to get the message of Factuality out to citizens under DEMOCRACY – is this a PROBLEM ?
Props – like the flag over the lectern is a NO NO – and the Rules or Conduct of Behaviour should be practiced.
Timea Szabo – opportunity missed – forget the flag prop – could have worn Red light cotton see through frock – with panties and bra – not see through -but – ALL Red ///
That would have “raised the roof” of Parliament and made, especially the Male members of the House – lisen to her MESSAGE – enlarging there hearing senses and “other” things of the Male anatomy.
Hungary – continues to dig a deeper hole for it-self in this Chinese marriage.
Evident – last month in tourism centering on District v – increasing number of Asian tourist.
The prevalent question Again arises and needs ANSWERING – is the Hungarian Immigration Department under Governmental pressure to “fast track” any documentation – that reads – country of birth – Republic of China ???
The past (2) two weeks – accompanying – a citizen of a Commonwealth country – to the Hungarian Immigration Department in Budafoki ut – seeking Residence Card Status in Hungary – the combined (4) four hours of those visits – the waiting room reception – no less than 98% of the people from Chinese/Asian background.
My “pro-bono” or deed that pleasures me – since 2018 – visits to the Hungarian Immigration Department – at Budafoki ut – total (16) sixteen occasions.
Combined hours of those visits – pick a number – as they have ranged not less than (2) two hours up to (5) five hours.
The unequivocal and FACTUAL picture and MEESAGE – shared to my Hungarian citizens is :
My (16) sixteen visits – sitting in by two – sizable waiting reception areas – of the Hungarian Immigration Department in Budafoki ut – the “mass” would be into thousands of human beings in those two waiting rooms – the percentage would be 97% of them from Chinese/Asian places of birth.
Is their a PRIORITIZATION process of their APPLICATION for Residency -whatever their reason or status of coming to Hungary ?
My observation – unequivocally is – YES.
Be assured readers – that this Factual explanation – no Stage nor Theatre – is not ALL from my “pro bono” visits of (16) sixteen visits to the Hungarian Immigration Office in Budafoki ut, – that I could example.
I could write a “another – Dissertation.
“Where there’s Smoke – There’s Fire – and under the present Government of Hungary – they continue to “feed” and “fuel” the building growing Fire – that will, if you are following present 21st century events in the Chinese Foreign Relationships – the PROBLEMS mounting – open your eyes and ears ALL Hungarians – and FIX – Cease this destructive Problem.
History – read it – it’s the Chinese way or NO Way – and they will desert and abandon Foreign Relationships – Trade and other – if they Do Not – get there WAY.
National Elections in May 2022 – the POWER of our Vote – under Democracy.
It invites US – to speak have a Voice – make change and WE should speak through our Right to Vote – and RIGHT that is Much Wrong – in Hungary at this “volatile” time in our History and Future.
