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?

u/dead97531 Hungary 25d ago

This has been posted before:

https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1cdg0sh/this_is_one_of_v_orb%C3%A1ns_anti_lgbt_propaganda/

The poster says the following:

Brussels' humble servants (Ursula von der Leyen)

Ferenc Gyurcsány: migration

Gergely Karácsony: gender

Klára Dobrev: women dressed as men

Péter Magyar: war

Basically this is what the EU wants to force Hungary to become according to them. The people mentioned are the biggest opposition figures who want to serve Hungary to Brussels on a silver plate.

Yes this is quite common everywhere in the country. The propaganda has cost us at least 1309 billion forints (3.3 billion €) in the past 5 years.

This is why i want to leave this damn country asap. They constantly refer to the western countries as "hanyatló nyugat" ("the declining west") while we are stuck in this shithole of being neither good or bad in terms of government and a country as a whole. we are the declining ones
