PHOTO: Kissing Orbán and Putin carving in front of the Hungarian Parliament
One of the readers of 444.hu sent a photo of a brand new carving, which is in the front of the Hungarian Parliament on the Buda side of the Danube. The carving depicts PM Viktor Orbán and President Vladimir Putin passionately kissing.
Nobody came forward yet claiming responsibility for the carving, 444.hu wrote. Neither do we know for sure its purpose, though we suspect it. Orbán has been receiving harsh criticism lately because of his “pro-Russia” policies. That includes blaming the EU sanctions for the economic crisis and the soaring inflation and highlighting that Ukrainians cannot win the war. Therefore, they should make peace instead of fighting.
Here is the photo. If you happen to walk by the statue today, please, send us a photo of the art to info@dailynewshungary.com or share it in a comment under our Facebook post.

It was the first free elections after the fall of Socialism, and Fidesz asked (mostly its young voters, as it was the party of the young generation then) everybody to choose between the kiss of a young couple and the kiss of the old Communist comrades. Here is the placard:
