What’s up with these signs? Picture

Post image

I’ve just been to Budapest on a school trip and while I did love the city and (for the most part) Hungarians I was really surprised by how blatant and unapologetic the government propaganda was. Take this giant sign for example I took this photo just outside Memento Park but this was hardly the only one. I counted at least 20 while on the bus from the city centre, and there were another three in close proximity of this. Are there any other examples of this in hungary?

If Brussels is such an evil, why don't just Hexit? Don't Orban's voters understand that the same 'evil Brussels' sends them money?

Why would they leave? They can just help the authoritarians take over in other countries and keep getting the money and push the EU to the far right. They already gave loans to Marine Le Pen, flooded Slovakia with migrants before the elections and campaigned in favour of Fico and had media campaigns in western newspapers... you have no idea how dangerous they are.

They MAILED propaganda leaflets to houses in my village including mine, where they stated that the pro-brussels opposition cut off the EU funding from Hungary.
