A Hungarian representative has drawn significant public backlash for a social media post that many interpreted as an attack on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Readers of the post, shared by the representative from the Tisza party, questioned his inconsistencies and used strong language to express their disapproval.
Commenters were quick to remind the representative that Viktor Orbán does not hold a government position or a seat in parliament, suggesting the criticism was misplaced. A recurring theme in the comments was that the representative and his party are currently in power. Therefore, the responsibility for all government decisions rests with them, not with past administrations.
Furthermore, the criticism extended to the handling of a water crisis. Commenters confronted the representative with the disappearance of the state secretary for water affairs and the lack of swift professional decisions during the emergency. The article implies that the representative's party failed to manage the crisis effectively, only forcing industrial players to contribute capacity and the public to reduce consumption.
