Stop Arbitrariness – Fidesz Protests Government's Constitutional Coup

Members of the Fidesz party are voicing strong opposition to what they describe as the government's "unconstitutional coup," particularly condemning the actions leading to the president's removal from office. The party views this move as a critical step in establishing an authoritarian regime.

The removal of the president from office has no political significance for those currently in power, but it has immense significance for Hungarian democracy and the rule of law.

László Kövér, former Speaker of the National Assembly, emphasized the profound implications of the president's removal. He stated that while those currently in power might dismiss its political significance, the act carries immense weight for the future of Hungarian democracy and the rule of law. Kövér asserted that the ongoing events are a key component in the construction of an autocratic system.

Everything that is happening is actually a key moment in the establishment of an authoritarian system.

Fidesz Member of Parliament Gábor Szűcs echoed these concerns, arguing that the situation has reached a point where simply labeling the actions of Magyar Péter and his associates as unlawful is insufficient. Szűcs declared that "Tisza" (referring to Magyar Péter's party) has visibly stepped outside democratic boundaries. He warned that failing to resist now could lead to the realization of a party-state system, where individuals could be arbitrarily detained, and that future opportunities to oppose such a system might be lost.

The Tisza has visibly stepped outside democratic frameworks. If we allow them to continue on this path, a party-state could be realized, where anyone can be taken away at any time. If we do not resist now, we may not have the opportunity later.
