It is terrible that 67 years later it must be emphasized in Hungary that the revolutionaries were heroes, not fascists

– he said in a video uploaded to Facebook Gregory Balinta Momentum cancer politician, who at the same time called on the Fidesz representatives of the district to stay away from the upcoming ’56 commemorations.

According to Gergely, this is due to the famous new Russian history textbook, since in it the revolutionaries were described as having a fascist past, and it was written about the Hungarian revolution that it was catalyzed and facilitated by Western secret services. On top of all this, the Hungarian government, which is always relentless in matters of sovereignty, reacted less passionately in this case.

Viktor Orbán tolerates without saying a word that Hungarian soldiers are called fascists in Russian textbooks and that it was a shame to let our country out of the ranks of the Soviet Union.

– the Momentum politician indicated in his video that he does not consider the government’s reaction to the case to be satisfactory, and added that in his opinion, those who allow space for Russian propaganda today are spitting in the face of the heroes of ’56.

That is why we ask the Fideszes delegates to the district to stay away from the district commemorations, not to disparage our heroes with their presence

– said Gergely, and then listed item by item the persons he would not like to see.

The government was silent about the new Russian textbook for a long time, for a long time Menczer Thomas the Secretary of State was the only one who spoke on the subject, he also only said that “it is clear what happened” in 1956. Szijjártó Peter and according to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he did not ask for the Russian ambassador after what happened because “we are never even willing to discuss these issues with anyone”, but he later confirmed that he had spoken with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrovval about the thing.
