  1. That’s all?!

    Potatos and eggs….wow, huge announcement! it’s not even funny, it’s just ridiculous.

  2. BLAME – not of our doing as a Government, but BLAME “others.”

    It continues to be LAUGHABLE – the falseness, propaganda, fabrication of Fact & Truth, attempted cover-up of failings or “hands on” involvement of disasters – that we as Citizens are bearing living in our “painful” day to day lives in millions – this Government, under the “Dictatorial” leader of Hungary – Victor Orban, continues to FEED us, is HUMILIATING.

    The MASSIVE big blackening hole they are RIGHTFULLY in, what they as a GOVERNMENT have OWNERSHIP of – because of their FAILINGS and incompetency, centered on playing “Power Games” with the European Union, under the DIRECTION of Victor Orban – never can BLAME & OWNERSHIP – be removed from their Curriculum Vitae.
    Citizens of Hungary – the picture GROWS we have been BLEED by the Political ideas & philosophy’s – directed imposed or enforced on us, to live our lives, that bears witness to the decaying trend of the quality of our lives, through the absolute FAILINGS of the Orban Government – Vile and WRONGFUL.

    The “Dictatorial” nature of this Prime Minister – Victor Orban and his Government, the eradication of friendships with “other” countries, the cataclysmic disasters they have created in our membership of the European Union, the establishment of closer relationships with Russia & China, both of which rule under a Dictatorship, and then the NEARING collapse they have created of the Economy of Hungary – APPALLING.

    BLAME – look in the MIRROR I say, and the BLAME is solely reflected back to the OFFENDER – and that is?

    “Hungary:
    “When the Yoke is Broken,
    the Burden is Removed.”

    The Mirror image, the Yoke and the Burden – and what of a LEGACY he will leave Hungary through his time in Political life and “goes” as our Prime Minister.

    Time has COMETH.

  3. Orban of decades ago is now bought and payed for by the obliarchs he made. They have a ravenous appetite and have him on a hook. He can do the right think, but his addiction to money and power totally controls him as he sells us all out. History will not be kind to him, just like his pals Trump and Putin.
