Hungarian opposition primary hacked by China?
The background IT system collapsed in the first hours of the primary last Saturday. First, the opposition parties said that too many voters wanted to simultaneously use the system on Saturday. Later, they said that the Hungarian government was behind the system failure. Now, they are saying that the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks came from China.
According to hvg.hu, the opposition primary continued today at 7 am. Dávid Bedő, a Momentum member of the national committee organising the primaries, said that the opposition parties and the organising aHang group ran many DDoS tests on Sunday. None of them harmed the system, so they cleared they were ready for the primaries to continue today.
First, the organisers said that too many voters wanted to simultaneously use the system on Saturday. Therefore, they added that what happened was
the “celebration of democracy”.
Later, they talked about a targeted cyber attack committed by the government. However, they did not show any evidence supporting their accusations. Meanwhile, the government or the government parties remained silent on Saturday. Fidesz reacted only on Sunday, saying that the opposition should not blame others for their errors.
The first round of the primaries will be between September 20 and 28, while the second round’s planned times are October 4-10. The original final date was September 26, 8 pm, regarding the first round, which was extended for 48 hours because of the system collapse.
Dávid Bedő said that the system ran in a different IT environment from today, so they could protect it from hackers. The organisers asked cyber security experts to
detect the source and method of the DDoS attack.
They include Ferenc Frész, senior cyber security expert of the Cyber Services Ltd. who used to work with NATO and the Council of the EU in similar projects.
Bedő said that harming the system was in the government’s interest, and they already knew that the attack could come from China.
Based on media reports, people

The opposition was doomed to failure the moment they jumped in bed with the infamous Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró clan and DK. Jumping in bed with people whose hatred of Hungarians is common knowledge amongst the Hungarian voters is nothing less than a political suicide pact. Resigned to failure, the opposition has to look for excuses for choosing failure. Communist China interfered in US elections in favor of Biden and his gang of communist democrats because it was very important to communist China to remove President Trump and replace him with Biden, their bought and paid for senile puppet. President Trump got after communist China for their predatory trading practices and he was winning for America. Why would communist China hack this pitiful anti-Hungarian opposition? Nothing in it for them. I find it hard to believe that they would be that stupid.
Biden was elected cause everyone was sick of Trump. It could have been a donkey running against Trump and that would have still been elected instead of that nutter.
Senile Biden was not running, he was hiding in his basement.
The communist democrats stole the election for him.
Xi’s lapdog, senile Joe Biden will never be a legitimate President.
Votes must be earned, NOT STOLEN
There’s a little thing called proof! Do you have it?! But we know of someone else who is Xi’s lapdog too and much closer to home
Donald J Trump

·Why is the Fake News Media continuing on their path of saying, “baseless and disproven lies,” concerning the Presidential Election of 2020, no matter how much evidence they see? These phrases are coordinated propaganda by Lamestream. It is an automatic phrase they use about the 2020 Election Scam when in fact it was just the opposite. The proof is massive and staggering. The Presidential Election of 2020 was Rigged! When the information becomes public, people will see that it wasn’t even close.
