Child's coffin delivered to Orbán's house in Hungary
On Saturday, July 22, a child's coffin inscribed with "The Future of Hungarian Youth" was placed near the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán’s house in Felcsút
Lawyer and activist Zoltán Keresztény announced this on his Facebook page.
The man protested against the close relationship between the Hungarian and Russian governments.
In the post, he remembered an event from 1989 when Hungarian Prime Minister Imre Nagy, who led an anti-communist revolution in 1956 and was executed, was re-funeral. Orbán said at that time that "communists, by connecting Hungary with Soviet Russia until 1990, ruined the future of Hungarian youth."
"35 years ago, before the government changed, there was a symbolic act at Heroes' Square in Budapest. They placed the future of Hungarian youth in an empty coffin," Keresztény wrote.
He said that today's Hungarian prime minister did the same as previous leaders by tying Hungary's fate to Putin's Soviet-Russian state.
"That's why we have an economic crisis, and the Hungarian political elite keeps getting richer every day. That's why prices keep going up, salaries are worth less, and health and education suffer," the post said.
Keresztény added that if Hungarians want social peace in the country, they must challenge the entire ruling political elite. Many people need to participate in public life and politics for this to happen.
"Only when Hungarians reconcile with each other, there is a chance for success," the lawyer concluded.
The protest occurred when Orbán attended the Tusványos festival. Keresztény refused to remove the child's coffin, and the fines were imposed on him.
