Prime Minister Orbán is the most harmful Hungarian politician in the history of the Hungarian system change. He has not given the country anything that would have made it sustainably successful. To the contrary, led by his own self-interest, vanity, and ignorance of consequences, he has led the country from aberration to aberration.

As the minister of the prime minister’s office responsible for, among other things, Hungarian intelligence, János Lázár has very little sense of what should remain secret.

We should have seen this coming. When the critical media portals MKKP, Atlatszo and Vastagbor collected 33,3 million Forints, that is 80 000 Euros, in two weeks to stage a counter campaign for the government's racist one, it was clearly visible that Hungarians are willing to help migrants and would not be that easily manipulated.
