PM Orbán drives Hungary’s ship into an iceberg, says main challenger Magyar

Péter Magyar, the leader of the opposition Tisza party, on Friday said Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was like the captain of the Titanic, “driving the ship into an iceberg then lying to the passengers about how he’ll steer it in their interest.”

Commenting on Orbán’s radio interview on Friday, Magyar accused Orbán of “turning Hungary into the poorest and most corrupt country of the European Union and then styling himself the future saviour of the homeland.”

While “lying” that Tisza would bring migrants into the country, “Orbán and his government let 2,000 imprisoned people smugglers go, turned the issue of residency bonds into a business, are building a migrant camp and they flooded rural Hungary with more than 100,000 Asian migrants,” Magyar told MTI in a statement.

Orbán “is also lying about peace while they are building weapon, armoured vehicle and ammunition factories, sent hundreds of Hungarian troops to civil war-torn Chad, and their closest allies in the Patriots for Europe party group are actively supporting weapon deliveries to Ukraine,” Magyar said.

The government was “one of the main helpers of Asian and global multinational companies” and their flawed policies had put Hungarian companies in impossible situations, Magyar said. “They squandered 1,000 billion forints of public funds on Asian investments of battery and EV plants alone,” he said. Meanwhile, mom-and-pop businesses are drowning under tax and administrative burdens, he said.

At the same time, Orbán “has turned members of his family and friends into trillionaires, even as 3 million Hungarians, 100,000 children among them, live under the poverty line,” he said.

“The time of lying is over, it is over, Mr. Prime Minister,” Magyar said.

According to the latest polls, the difference between Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party and Orbán’s Fidesz decreased to only 2%.

  2. Message of VITAL Importance to – Peter Magyar / Tisza – its Membership & Supporters.
    We MUST, must must – FIGHT – in SOLIDARITY the “Heinous” Fidesz Government of Hungary, its leader and current PRESSURIZED – in disgrace and humiliation – that GROWS on the Prime Minister – Victor Mihaly. Orban, the Political Party of Fidesz.
    We MUST fight them with TRUTH truth, truth.
    TRUTH is like a Lion,
    you don’t have to DEFEND it.
    Let it loose, it WILL defend it-self.
    Hungary as a country the TIME never throughout our History the NEED in ourselves the citizens of Hungary to be TRUTHFUL and as a country – united in solidarity – move forward – through TRUTHFULNESS.
    It has been 15 years we have been exploited, abused, used and LIED to by an Orban led Fidesz Government, in what THEY have delivered to us as citizens and as a country factually being a country in a state resembling that of a cataclysmic and in CHAOS country.
    This CHAOS – that STRETCHES far beyond the Orban / Varga MESS of idiotic Financial & Economic Policies – is evidenced – is FACT – for ALL to witness this day, the Orban / Varga – DESTRUCTION.
    Truth, truth, truth – conduct as ourselves as a nation of people 9.6 million in TRUTHFULNESS.
    If we Don’t conduct ourselves speaking TRUTH – to try and find LIGHT at the End of the DARKED nadir in appearance Staircase – we are looking at – living in – if we Don’t by TRUTH together – united in SOLIDARITY practice TRUTH our FUTURE will be PERILOUS.
    Orban – the Fidesz Party – have “Scuttled” us as a country.
    An un-known lifeboat, is better than a known SHIP sinking fast by the Stern, and as a country – we can’t wait for a ship to come in – but ROW together united in SOLIDARITY in Truth giving gargantuan support to Peter Magyar – the Tisza Party – row out to it with TRUTH as our compass lead for our FUTURE.

  3. Everything Magyar says can be fact-checked – all is true what he said. Fidesz trolls have zero facts to prove that his words are not true, so they don´t even try. Fidesz trolls have just empty words and lame propaganda.

  4. Polling data continues to confirm that Fidesz is in decline while Tisza is about to overtake the corrupt bandits very soon. The biggest problem for Orban and Fidesz is that people will no longer accept blaming the declining quality of life in Hungary on causes other than the government in power. That is inevitable in any society and especially true the longer any government remains in power. The Hungarian economy is in big trouble and that is leading to the end for Orban.

  5. It is HOPED, that in there DOWNFALL – the “heinous” acts that through the direction DRIVEN by Victor Mihaly. Orban – the initiator, the instrument, who over the course of 15 years plus and what remains, that Orban – and the likes of “other” – in the ” inner sanctum” of the Orban regine – Mihaly Varga, Peter Szijjarto, exampled, that the POWER of Law, is bought on them, to answer for there ACTIONS, there decision making, that has DELIVERED us as a country at this point in time to the COLLAPSED country factually we are.
    Victor Mihaly. Orban must be PROVED by Legal process of his, his Party’s – GUILT – and NEVER be appeased.
    In the time to this date of the Victor Mihaly. Orban – Fidesz Government of Hungary – factually what is known of there “Heinous” conduct as a Government, what is still to be DISCOVERED – from Orban down – the perpetrators, they ALL need bought before judicial environments to answer there ACTION(s) that in major part, we know, as being “Act’s of Crime.”
    Hungary, when it happens, as we KNOWN it will sooner than later – that Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government are THROWN out of Office – for Hungary – for the FUTURE of Hungary – from Orban down, in his Fidesz Ministry – they must be bought to answer for there WRONGFULNESS and that Hungarians can’t suffer from “short term memory loss” – for the FUTURE of Hungary and NOT have Orban – his Regime answer for there DESTRUCTION, the Chaos they have inflicted bought upon our country Hungary.
    Could it be likened to a 21st century version of the Nuremberg Trials of 1945-1946 ???
    Don’t dismiss or think it’s an idiotic comparison as for what Orban – his Fidesz Government have COMMITTED on Hungary – has STRONG grounds they be ALL bought before the Court(s) and Trial(s) as conducted in Nuremberg.
