Magyar warns previous government's 'bad habits' persist; vows accountability for crisis obstruction

Hungarian politician Péter Magyar has sharply criticized the previous government, accusing it of embedding detrimental practices within the state apparatus over a 16-year period. Magyar asserted that a revised protocol for restrictions aims to alter the state's mindset, its ingrained negative habits, and the automatic responses established during the previous administration's tenure.

The former ruling party's rear-guard fighters are shouting and lying because they do not understand this logic.

Magyar directed strong words at members of former ruling parties, labeling their current actions as "rear-guard fighting." He claimed they are shouting and lying because they fail to grasp the new logic being implemented. The politician then issued a warning, urging "failed actors" in political life to cease misleading their fellow citizens and halt the dissemination of falsehoods and disinformation.

I call on the failed actors of political life to stop misleading their fellow citizens, to stop spreading lies and disinformation, and in this extremely difficult situation, not to hinder the defense work, if they cannot or do not want to help.

He emphasized the critical nature of the current situation, imploring those involved to avoid obstructing defense efforts, especially if they cannot or will not contribute positively. Magyar concluded with a stern declaration: those who mislead their compatriots and impede the success of defense measures during such a crisis will face consequences for their actions.
