The current political climate in Hungary is described as "outside the law" and fundamentally illegitimate, stemming from the alleged unlawful removal of Tamรกs Sulyok from his position. This situation, the article argues, renders any actions taken by the new leadership inherently invalid, regardless of external validation from bodies like the Venice Commission or the European Court of Justice.
Baka Andrรกs is presented as a figurehead chosen by a leadership that has supposedly placed itself "outside the law." The author dismisses any official pronouncements or actions signed by Baka, comparing them to worthless "toilet paper rolls" carried by his "boss" during a campaign. The piece suggests that a reckoning is inevitable, implying that those responsible will face consequences when the current political era concludes, likely by 2030.
The article further asserts that the "sect" in power could not have found a more fitting puppet leader than Baka. It criticizes a political environment where eavesdropping on one's spouse is glorified, opposing Hungary in court is framed as patriotism, and "enemy spies" are celebrated. In such a context, the author contends, Baka Andrรกs is indeed deserving of a certain position.
Finally, the piece invokes the memory of three Hungarian martyrs from Tata, Tamรกs Kaszรกs, Bรฉla Rรณnavรถlgyi, and Jรกnos Senkรกr, who died due to Jรกnos Korbely. The author suggests that Baka should frequently pray for their forgiveness before facing ultimate judgment, implying a severe moral and spiritual accountability for the current political actors.
