Yesterday approximately 50 000 people protested in Budapest. Our (already resigned) president granted pardon to a criminal who helped to cover up sexual abuse in a children’s home.
I hope that the voice of Hungarians will reach to somewhere, to someone who will hear them, and willing to cooperate with them. Because nowadays, here in this country anything can happen with impunity. Our so-called leaders not only guilty of corruption, but they absolutely forgot their people. I feel like I am just an ATM for them, as I pay my taxes.
I would like to stay in this country because this is my home. But these two-faced, treacherous politicians we have make it almost impossible. I don’t know your knowledge about Hungary, but let me give you a glimpse into a life of a person in their twenties, thirties. So you started your life, let’s assume that you’ve already finished your studies, and you have a loving partner. Well… if you aren’t heterosexual, you’re gonna have some difficulties. I was just euphemistic, your life will be really, fucking hard, because here it is a trend to be homophobic, it is even in the law. The constitution says that marriage is between a man and a woman, the parents are also a man and a woman.
Let’s assume, you’re heterosexual, have a job, but you need more money. If you want to have a loan, there is one called Waiting for baby/babies. What is it about? You commit yourself to have 1, 2, 3, 4 or a dozen children, and you get loan for it. If the baby isn’t coming, you’re screwed. In an ideal world (I think) we wouldn’t get loans for having children, but the school system, healthcare system would be improved, people would have well-paying jobs, and the rents, houses, anything where you can live, would be affordable. And of course pedophiles wouldn’t get pardon from the president.
This writing is getting a bit out of hand, so I am going to finish it. In summary, I would like to live in a country where the law protects people. I would like to live in a country where democracy is not just a melodious word, but the form of government.
