Budapest Mayor bids farewell to US Ambassador, highlights fight for democracy and rule of law
Those in Hungary who consistently stand up in defence of the values of democracy, the rule of law and human rights and against corruption are “rewarded in the form of a political campaign of revenge”, the mayor of Budapest said on Wednesday.
In a post on Facebook, Gergely Karácsony said he had received outgoing US Ambassador David Pressman on a farewell visit in his mayoral office. Karácsony said that Pressman had told him at his inaugural visit three years ago that he would most likely be the new target and bearer of the bulk of “propagandists’ attacks” that he as mayor had to face before.
The ambassador, Karácsony said, had been right in his presumption and he then “fulfilled this undertaking as well”. “And I am to thank the ambassador not only for freeing us from a part of those propaganda attacks but also for his consistent … representation of democracy, the rule of law and human rights as well as efforts to fight corruption,” Karácsony said. “David Pressman is a friend and admirer of Hungary,” he added. The mayor presented to the ambassador a painting by contemporary artist drMáriás and a book about Budapest by András Török.

Happy days will come again. Good riddance fanatic Pressman. Wished sanity reigned in your family.
If there was no one to call out the Fidesz government or any other government for its’ misinformation and corruption we would be truly finished. Pressman did a great job trying to hold the government to account as far as his role as ambassador allows. The biggest problem in Hungary is that the government has monopolized control over mass media to ensure that the opposition cannot be heard by Hungarians. This quote from a German-American actor should be considered by Hungarians: “People want to simplify complex problems. The essence of fascism is to simplify complex problems and feed people who don’t have time to read some bullshit.” That’s what Fidesz feeds Hungarians.
FIDESZ sucks, the previous US envoy did not have the same problem with Hungary, and I am sure the next envoy will love his/her stay in the country and will love the people. Pressman wanted to force child mutilation and child brainwashing on Hungarian children. Pressman did not believe that children should be allowed to grow up and mature naturally. There is now nor was any law against responsible adults making life changing decisions.
It must be Pressman’s hate for the people at large that he wanted to ruin Hungarian children’s lives; the good thing is that he failed.
Let children be children.
Pressmans new position will be to have Tampons in boys bathrooms and boys in girls sports with the support of Tim Waltz in the scadinavian —now yemeni state of Minnesota in time for the LA olympics.
