3. Russians, go home sounds on Budapest metro - a 1956 reference

“Ruszkik, haza” – Russians, go home! – is the latest chant to sound at Kossuth Lajos metro platform as another train comes and goes overflowing with people.

The slogan – originally from the 1956 Hungarian revolution – was adopted by Orban’s critics during the campaign as a sign of protest against his government’s close ties with Russia.

There are also some other songs that are somewhat more explicitly anti-Orbàn.

One guy slides down the escalator’s mechanism in a way I thought was only possible in cartoons.

Now THAT'S going to be one hell of a party! In the meantime, enjoy, Hungarians! And welcome back to the civilized world. Orban was dragging you down. Glad you dumped him once and for all.

I want to see that from our young people too! If they were to vote in massive numbers we would be on the right track.

.......share in their joy. Waiting until the second Tuesday of November 2028 is going to be a real burden just in and of itself.

That was exhilarating to watch. After 16 years, I wonder what finally did it for them?
