On October 23 1956 the #HungarianRevolution ignited
It lasted 15 days
It was crushed by #Soviet Tanks
On the anniversary Thursday, there were protests against #Orban
Peter Lakits, holding a sign reading "Russians Go Home":
“One thing we have learned from #history is that we have learned nothing from history. Sometimes the tanks that crushed #freedom in #Budapest are the very same ones that are now crushing freedom in #Ukraine"

Des élus RN au Parlement européennes veulent classer les "antifas" comme terroristes, sur le modèle de Trump aux Etats-Unis. Parmi eux, Jean-Paul Garraud, président de la délégation française de "Patriotes pour l’Europe" au Parlement européen. Une preuve de plus que le parti d’extrême droite s’aligne sur les désidératas de l'apprenti-dictateur américain https://www.liberation.fr/politique/des-elus-rn-veulent-classer-les-antifas-comme-terroristes-20250930_OR4X3JXVRNBCZIYDB7PAWBFDTI/

"It’s clear that the deployment of the National Guard in Washington is simply the latest in a series of Trump’s power grabs. This move may also be a rehearsal, perhaps for January 2029."

"Capital cities—often characterized by dynamic multiculturalism and a liberal political culture—tend to be unfriendly terrain for populist demagogues like Trump or Viktor Orbán, whose constituencies are typically concentrated in rural areas. But capital cities are also where state power is most concentrated, making them convenient stages for shows of force against liberal institutions and movements."

The new chief executive officer of Hungary’s largest lender called for the adoption of the euro and for an end to ad-hoc policymaking under Prime Minister Viktor Orban that has sapped investor confidence and dented valuations.

⚖️ The rule of law is the cornerstone of our democracies.
Today we published the 2025 Rule of Law Report, assessing justice systems, anti-corruption efforts, media freedom, and institutional checks across all EU countries.
The Report shows progress but also highlights work still needed to protect our democracy, fundamental rights, and economy.
Together with EU countries, we are working to protect the rule of law for people, for business and for Europe’s future.
@EUCommission
There is no rule of law in Hungary! Maja, a non-binary person who was abducted from Germany to Hungary, has been on hunger strike for over a month.
Instead of releasing Maja from custody, it is now being considered to insert a pacemaker into Maja in order to be able to continue the show trial! Act at last, Commission President von der Leyen!

Denmark wants Europe to deploy its full legal arsenal against Hungary over violations of the bloc’s fundamental rights, including by pursuing the Article 7 so-called nuclear option against Budapest.

Achievement unlocked: Got to #Budapest#Pride by bike without GPS. 
Friends who were in contact with organizers say there were about 400.000 people. I'll write about it tomorrow, right now I'm exhausted as heck.
Oh and some fascists tried to block the bridge we wanted to march on. They had about two dozen people. 
Hell, even if the cops tried to shut it down (and many of them seemed to be enjoying the parade just like everyone else), I doubt they could take 400.000 people.
Trying to ban Pride in #Hungary was the biggest mistake #Orban made in a while.

Meanwhile, #Orbán is suffering from the Streisand effect.
