Orbán’s oldest ally changed her mind, is proud of him and withdrew her resignation
Change language:
Zsuzsa Hegedűs has changed her mind, she is proud of Orbán and her resignation has now become redundant.
Hegedűs resigned two days ago
The sociologist was convinced by Orbán’s speech in Vienna. In her latest letter, she writes: “I am proud of you”, and “you can count on my help in the future, as you have for the past 20 years”, reports 168.hu.
As we reported two days ago, PM Orbán’s oldest ally, sociologist Zsuzsa Hegedűs, compared Orbán to Goebbels because of his racist speech in Tusnádfürdő and resigned. She had said he went beyond the limits of acceptability and that she believes that Orbán’s rhetoric, which could be described as pure Nazi, is something she cannot forgive the prime minister for, even given their friendship of almost 20 years.
The tables have turned
Orbán, who visited Vienna on Thursday, also referred to his speech in Tusnádfürdő at a joint press conference with Karl Nehammer, saying, “Sometimes I make ambiguous statements, that happens. But I asked the Chancellor to kindly put all this information into a cultural context, because in Hungary these expressions, phrases and the position I represent is a cultural, civilisational position. I would like to reiterate that I am proud of the results that Hungary has achieved in the fight against racism in recent years”.
God only knows what kind of threats she must have received during the last 48 hours. Certainly many and severe ones. Dictators do not tolerate oppositions.
It a shame that Orbán’s oldest ally clearly has senile dementia.
Good decision.
Oh yeah.
:-O
Not for me to speculate, but clearly, Ms Zs. Hegedus’ original decision, being so public, has had it’s effect, whether that was, or was not, intentional is another matter, but “something’s rotten in Denmark”, something is not right.
Personally, I believe that her original decision was motivated by her conscience, and she did what she believed to be the right thing. As for the 360° about turn, well, like I said, something’s rotten in Denmark.
