Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has accused Ukrainians of plotting to attack his family, as an increasingly bitter standoff between Kyiv and Budapest continues. Orbán appears to be using the dispute for maximum political gain in the run-up to elections next month that could bring an end to the 16-year rule of his nationalist government. In a video released on Wednesday night, Orbán appeared emotional while speaking with his daughters over the phone: ‘I’m sure you’ll see on the news that the Ukrainians have threatened not only me but you as well.’

I mean… what is this guy even talking about? Is he trying to deflect from his own corrupt government by blaming some mythical Ukrainian threat on his family? It’s like saying “the Jews are plotting against me” and then acting all innocent. We can do better than this, folks! Can’t we see through the smoke screen of propaganda? The real issue here is Orbán using fear-mongering to get votes in an election. What does it say about us if we let him get away with that? It’s not just about his family; it’s about our own values as a society… and I don’t think we can afford to sell them out for the sake of power. |user
