Theater shot: Péter Magyar, the leader of the Hungarian opposition, leaves from Budapest to Oradea, accusing Viktor Orban of sold Hungarians for an extremist candidate
Péter Magyar, the president of the main opposition party Tisza, will start from Budapest to Oradea Wednesday. The politician made the announcement in a video message recorded in front of the Tihany abbey where last Friday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán cited a campaign message by George Simion. Peter Magyar's speech is similar to Kelemen Hunor, who announced his support for Nicușor Dan.

Péter Magyar, the leader of the opposition from Budapest, says that Prime Minister Orban betrayed the Hungarians in Romania by approaching George Simion, who “danced previously on the tombs of the Cemetery at Valea Uzului, destroyed the Szekler memory and beaten our ancestors.”
The leader Tisza also claims that Fidesz's campaign teams help the election campaign of President Aur. Meanwhile, “they accuse others of betrayal,” said Magyar, who demanded solidarity in the face of hatred and division.
“A million steps” to Oradea
He promised that he would meet the nation, on his own, “step by step”, in the next two weeks and that he will defend the voters who were deceived and intimidated by government propaganda. “For us, the Hungarian people are not our opponent,” he said, adding that he was fighting “Viktor Orbán and his three thousand accomplices” who “betrayed the homeland.”
Péter Magyar has announced that he will start on Wednesday and will take a million steps with a Hungarian national flag “for peace and the unity of the Hungarian nation.”
The march of the Hungarian politician is similar to an action of Serbian students, who have taken a bicycle tour in Europe for two weeks to draw attention to the corruption protests in their country. They arrived on April 15 in Strasbourg, France, at the headquarters of the European Parliament.
“We will walk from Budapest to meet with our Hungarian brothers and sisters abroad, in one of the swings of Hungarian culture, Oradea,” he said, adding that they will cross together about 300 kilometers, “paying attention to the daily problems of our compatriots.”
“I call on all those who want to live together in peace to be with me,” said Péter Magyar.
Where did the debate start from
The statements made by George Simion about “Europe of the Nations” in the presidential debate on Thursday night were quoted by the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a speech held on Friday who was published on the official account of X.
“Yesterday, during the presidential debate in Romania, Hungary was mentioned on the subject of Christianity. One of the candidates, Mr. Simion, said the following and quotes” now is the time for Europe, a Christian Europe, in which we will fight for our right to be European citizens. “
The leader from Budapest stressed that he does not intervene in the Romanian elections, but has a message for the Romanian people and for the future president.
“We share a historical destiny with the Romanian people. We do not intervene in the ongoing presidential elections. However, from the heart of the Carpathian basin, we assure the Romanian people and its future president: Hungary supports the unity, not the division. We will not support any form of political isolation against Romania or the Romanian. declared Viktor Orban.
The next day, the president of the UDMR, Kelemen Hunor had a rare moment when he took a different position compared to Viktor Orban.
“Anyone who does not know who George Simion is, can watch the film about the golden ascension. Watch Simion's parliamentary speeches. Watch the verbal and physical violence that he has manifested several times as a member of the opposition in the Parliament. The Hungarian families in Transylvania should be safe, the most important thing is for our institutions to our identity, He is a Christian, he is a charlatan, in each nerve he represents the principle that the Hungarians do not take place in Romania ”, reports the president of UDMR, Kelemen Hunor, in a video message broadcast on Saturday.
Following the statement of Kelemen Hunor, Viktor Orban came back with a new Facebook message in which he rejected a pro-simion position.
“This afternoon, we had a conversation with Kelemen Hunor, the president of the UDMR, on the phone. I was clear: we do not want to influence Hungary in any way the presidential elections in Romania. And the existence of the Hungarians from Transylvania, ”Orban wrote on Facebook.
