Politics around the world

[CTG]

And I am a bit relieved to see that the Hungarian voters are way more stupid than the Danish ones.

The same thing happened in Finland and Netherlands. Mainly I support the nationalist things but Jobbik is a bad joke. To tell the truth there's no real right wing power here (one of them is too radical and stupid, the other one is a populist shit); left is the same quality (government is loser; while jewish liberal parties are the biggest thiefs and supporting deviance); almost nothing in the center. That's why I didn't vote.

almost nothing in the center. That's why I didn't vote.

and that's why another 30% of the country also did not vote And I can totally understand them.
Even though the menu is always awful, I always go and vote because I feel it is required from me as a citizen. However, so far I have never voted twice on the same party. Maybe now.

This big strenghtening of the extreme right and the big loss of the (divided) jewish forces whispers to me that there's something really wrong in this country's governing... No matter which party wins, the remnants of the old communists/jewish will govern us, thanks to the happenings around 1990. They will not let the others gain force in the parliament, they realize this with very dirty nation-dividing politics - and the country sinks and sinks in the swamp...

I'm a rightist in mind, but voted against Fidesz in 2002 and 2006 because the reasons mentioned by CTG why they are not really a rightist force, and because of Viktor Orbán. This time I decided not to vote.

RIP Poland

Poor Poland, I wish it could rather happen to Orsós.

[Duplode]

Awful news... being a 3/8 Pole ancestry-wise I feel even more disheartened.

The new president of Hungary is not independent: he's the former vice president of Fidesz...

Argies: What the hell Cristina has smoked lately? or does she really have reasons to believe she can pull off those Chavist tricks against the press in such a ridiculously blunt way?

I start to feel it's time to leave this fuckin' country.

If you do, don't even think about coming to Argentina!! I don't know what they sell to the rest of the world, but it's a stallin "democratic" tyranny!

[zaqrack]

So is China. But at least they admit it

Well, the main reason to escape from Hungary is to avoid feeling the same circumstances like it was in Argentina about 10 yrs ago (we are close to that right now). So if one leaves the country, I think Argentina would be among the last places to go to.

Rumours say Bartók Béla Avenue's new name will be (probably) Horthy Miklós Avenue.

The first one was a famous composer of the 20th century. The latter one was the governor of Hungary between WW I and II ("slave" of Hitler).

Already renamed:

Moszkva tér (Moscow Square) ---> Széll Kálmán tér (prime ministeresident of Hungary between 1899-1903); because "Moscow is communist name", LOL. I think it's just a city. We also have Párizsi udvar, Mexikói út, Belgrád rakpart, etc.

Köztársaság tér (Republic Square) ---> II. János Pál pápa tér (John Paul II Square); just to annoy MSZP (left wing party), because formerly their headquoters was there.

Ferenc körút metro station ---> Corvin Quarter (new "city centre" of 8th district); simple business, the constructor of the new buildings/shops payed for the renaming

But we also have brand new names for the government offices (name of tax authorities changed from APEH to NAV, just to make it Fidesz conform with "National" name). What is it good for? Power demonstration?

[BonzaiJoe]

Trying to change the national identity - people's understanding of themselves as Hungarians and what it means to be Hungarian (except the metro station, that's just greed).

The way things are going, the number of reasonable alternative countries to move to seems to decrease by the day...
