In a video posted on Facebook, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said it was all the same whether the opposition was called DK or Tisza Party, "their masters are the same".
In a video posted by Tamás Menczer, the communications director of the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrats, on Sunday, the prime minister said strong forces had been pitted against each other: "We Hungarian patriots on one side, and I would not underestimate us, being several million people, and Brussels on the other side. And the Hungarians who support Brussels against their own national government."
"It does not make a difference what the powers who stand against us are called, whether DK or Tisza, Ferenc Gyurcsány or Péter Magyar, it is all the same, because the powers in the opposition are the same. They can announce a new team, they can change the flag of the team, but the real source of power behind them is the same," he added.
PM Orbán said that, not for the first time, the choice was between a puppet government, subordinate to Brussels and acting on Brussels' command, or a national government. He added that on that choice hinged government measures that Brussels wanted to see rolled back, such as pensioners' annual bonus, the power to tax multinationals and banks, and the regulated utilities price scheme for households.
