Hungarian Protesters Rally Against Péter Magyar, Declaring "We Are Not Afraid!"

Thousands gathered in Hungary for a protest, sending a clear message to Péter Magyar: "We are not afraid!" The demonstration, described as a stand against perceived authoritarian tendencies, saw speakers from Fidesz, including national assembly representative Gábor Szűcs and communications director Bertalan Havasi, articulate strong opposition to Magyar's methods.

We are not afraid!

Szűcs stressed that the rally was not about party politics but a collective stand for constitutionalism, justice, democracy, and Hungarian freedom. Havasi echoed these sentiments, urging President Tamás Sulyok to uphold the constitutional order and resist any unconstitutional legislation. He characterized Magyar as a "pocket dictator" and his associates as "traitors."

We stand for constitutionality, justice, democracy, Hungarian freedom and President Tamás Sulyok.

Former President János Áder drew parallels to the Rákosi era, recalling the unlawful removal of President Zoltán Tildy. He argued that current attempts to remove the Hungarian president are similarly unconstitutional and aim to dismantle the rule of law. Áder invoked a constitutional clause stating that no activity should aim to seize power unlawfully, asserting that citizens have a right and duty to resist such efforts through legal means. The "Stop, Autocracy!" protest was presented as the first step in this resistance, with the crowd's repeated chant of "We are not afraid!" signaling a determined continuation of their opposition.

We don't have to fear the pocket dictator, nor his traitorous, bought servants.
