Before the Russian-Ukrainian war, Balázs Orbán described us as a nation of freedom fighters, and said that the message of 1956 was about defending national independence. Nowadays, it seems that the lesson he has learned from the revolution is that if Russia were to launch a war against us, we should not defend ourselves. There are serious contradictions between his previous and most recent statements.

The correct date of Balázs Orbán’s speech in parliament shown in the video is 03.11. 2020. We apologize for the typo.
