Gergely Karácsony, the mayor of Budapest who is also vying to become Hungary’s next prime minister, wants to hold a referendum “on behalf of the honest majority”, an opposition Socialist Party official said on Sunday.
Imre Komjáthi, the party’s deputy chairman, told an online press briefing that a “domineering minority” had held power in Hungary for the past 12 years, and that the Socialists were representatives of “the honest majority”.
He said Karácsony’s bid to hold a popular vote was all about seeking solutions to life’s real problems.
The referendum’s questions cover the issue of whether to prevent property from being transferred to China’s Fudan University and Hungary’s motorways from being sold off.
Also, it seeks to ask citizens whether
Hungary should join the European Public Prosecutor’s Office
and whether all Hungarian residents over the age of 60 should be entitled to a coronavirus antibody test free of charge. Further, the referendum asks whether jobless benefits should be extended to nine months from the current three.

Well I’d back that for sure. Who wants the Chinese here spying on us all, as that’s what will be happening. Just using the university as a front. Why can’t the money being used from the Hungarian budget be put into existing universities instead. Why do we even need this Fudan university.
