Former PM Gyurcsány: Fight tyrants, not negotiate with them!
Ferenc Gyurcsány, the head of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), urged people to “dare to fight” for their freedom at a party gathering to mark the 175th anniversary of the 1848-49 revolution and freedom fight in Budapest on Wednesday.
Gyurcsány warned that otherwise people would “be disenfranchised and become the shame of the nation”. He said DK would become “the home” for those opposed to governing Fidesz.
“DK follows a sensible, patriotic European policy with principles that are simple: people are free and must watch out for that freedom. Furthermore, the strong may not abuse their power, while the weak must be helped, because they’re people too,” he said.
Gyurcsány said people must “fight tyrants, not negotiate with them”. “The Dobrev government is the solution”, he added.
Finance minister: ‘If there is peace, there is freedom’
“Peace is needed again today in order to stay out of the war, and if there is peace, there is freedom,” Finance Minister Mihály Varga said, marking the 175th anniversary of the 1848-49 revolution and freedom fight, in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár), in north-western Romania, on Wednesday.
Varga said the revolution of 1848 marked the birth of institutional Hungarian freedom. He said the sacrifices of the heroes of the revolution could be reciprocated by strengthening and guaranteeing the nation’s independence and self-determination for future generations.
“When we celebrate 1848, we Hungarians also celebrate a diverse Europe founded on autonomous nation-states,” the minister said. “We must defend our freedom ourselves, just as we had to in 1848 and after the two world wars, and as we must do so today on new fronts.”

Its alright to MOUTH off as the former Prime Minister and WRONGFULLY head of the SUPPOSED major opposition party in Hungary, but put your words into ACTION and ORGANISE a PEACEFUL march, with YOU at the HEAD of the March – carrying the FLAG as they say.
The MESSAGE – you are trying, unfortunately not to successfully presenting – to the Hungarian PEOPLE – through LUGGAGE carried over from your STINT – as the Hungarian Prime Minister, further HIGHLIGHTS – you HAVE had your time and must GO.
YOU no longer are a respected nor forceful voice – in Hungarian Politics.
PEOPLE have LONG memories and YOU left office leaving no positive legacy to Hungary and have become a liability – not a VOICE to get a MESSAGE out into the population of Hungary – the DESTRUCTION and wrongful practices of the Orban Government – we FACTUALLY are living in.
The mirror, look into it, what do you see?
Its reflection surely must be saying – staring you back in your FACE- iam powerless, my message no longer respected nor embraced and time is UP.
Orban – continues to HUMILIATE the opposition in our country and you, by your PRESENCE – makes easy pickings for him, to shoot you down when he SO chooses.
WHY there is a lack of intestinal fortitude in the OPPOSTION parties to just MOVE you on – APPALLING.
Its apparent your own conscience won’t TALK to you, possible through ego – or “rooted” scares you carry from your time as Prime Minister, a want possible of settling old scores, scares or wounds – inflicted on you, by being re-elected to the Prime Ministers office.
Go – for Hungary Go, and let fresh air and brighter light through the Windows that can Inspire, Motivate create an INTEREST in the OPPOSITION Government of Hungary.
