Hungarian Justice Minister marks 15th anniversary of Socialist Őszöd speech leak

Justice Minister Judit Varga said on Friday that “it was revealed on this day 15 years ago” that former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány and his allies had lied “morning, noon and night”, and instead of governing, they misled everyone while bringing Hungary to the brink of bankruptcy.

In the speech leaked on September 17 in 2006, the previous Socialist prime minister is heard telling the party group at a meeting held in Balatonőszöd behind closed doors that they had lied about the state of the economy to win the general election.

In a Facebook post also published in English, Varga said that “following the leak of his speech in Őszöd,

Brussels is blackmailing Hungary by withholding recovery money?

Gyurcsány, who still controls the opposition, pushed Hungary into the deepest rule of law and moral crisis since the regime change”.

Varga said it meant “police brutality, mass pre-trial detentions with no legal basis, people blinded by rubber bullets, beaten young and elderly people, police officers without identifiers, peaceful protesters attacked by mounted police, Kossuth square declared as an area of operations for months surrounded by mobile barriers and a Member of Parliament badly beaten up”.

“Then, of course, Europe and Brussels remained deeply silent,” she said.

Fidesz: it is an absurd idea that people are not born as men or women!

“There was no Sargentini report or Article 7 procedure at the time. No concern for the state of Hungarian democracy and the rule of law, neither by the European Commission nor by the European Parliament or the well-known NGOs that envisage the end of the world today,” she added.

Varga said that “Gyurcsány and his team did not regret anything, did not apologise to anyone. Let there be no doubt that, if he had the opportunity, he would continue in the same way as the real leader of the opposition just like before, with the assistance of Brussels, of course.”

    How is that the EU did not protest when the Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gand was brutalizing the people?
    Double standard is no standard at all.
    Shame on the EU.

    The Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang hates Hungarians. Their incredible wealth is the result of Dobrev’s grandfather, Apró ordering the mass execution of Hungarian patriots on Kossuth square. The Kossuth square communist terror bloody Thursday occurred on October 25, 1956. The exact number of innocent victims will probably never be known but it is estimated that over one thousand, including men, women and children were murdered under Apró’s direction. The Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang didn’t change and the atrocities continued during October, 2006 under Dobrev’s husband, Gyurcsány’s rain of terror. No sane Hungarian would ever vote for these Hungarian haters.

    Today, Hungary is a safe, secure, democratic country. I like living here.
