A Hungarian politician has sharply criticized the Tisza Party, accusing them of hypocrisy regarding constitutional changes. Gรกbor Szลฑcs of Fidesz highlighted the stark contrast between the Tisza Party's recent actions and their criticisms of previous governments.
Szลฑcs pointed out that the Tisza Party, in power for a mere 50 days, has already moved to amend the constitution twice. He contrasted this with his own party's record of 15 amendments over 16 years. This statement underscores a significant political tension regarding the stability and frequency of constitutional revisions in Hungary.
It is time we protested on the streets too!
Meanwhile, a protest is planned for Thursday at 6 p.m. in front of the Sรกndor Palace. The demonstration is organized against what organizers describe as the "autocratic rule" of the Tisza government. Former President Jรกnos รder is scheduled to speak at the event, adding further weight to the opposition's concerns.
He ironically called it that the Tisza Party criticizes the previous government for, in their opinion, 'too many' constitutional amendments. - Because we did it 15 times in 16 years, and they can amend it twice within just 50 days.
