In the video – which is an extract from the interview conducted by András Hont which was broadcast on Thursday evening on the YouTube channel of the programme entitled ‘Five’ – the Prime Minister highlighted that an act or event usually made a noise in politics because it was unprecedented. The Őszöd speech, too, derived thrust from the fact that nothing like that had ever happened before.
“When a politician says that ‘we lied morning, noon and night,’ or as they say, ‘night and day; that we deceived everyone with tricks in the hundreds, and this is how we got into power,’ then it shocks everyone to the core, he said.
“In this instance, too, we may well have suspected that there are Members of the European Parliament who are not exactly reluctant to work against their own country,” Mr Orbán added.
Then there was an extract from Kinga Kollár’s (Tisza Party) speech in the European Parliament in which the MEP says “on the positive side, the deteriorating standard of living of Hungarians actually strengthened the opposition.”
In response to this, Mr Orbán said “when one hears with one’s own ears and sees with one’s own eyes that somebody says ‘we managed to prevent the refurbishment of 50 hospitals, we managed to prevent the government from improving the standards of public services; as a result, there are economic developments, and we’re happy about this; in fact, not only are we happy, but are actively working on this because this way we’re going to win’, then the same as with the Őszöd speech, you say ‘stop, there’s a limit.’”
And indeed, a new era began with this because nothing like this had ever happened before, the Prime Minister stressed.
