According to the mayor, there is still a “president” today, but the republic disappeared from our country’s name nine years ago.

Gergely Karácsony commented on the “disappearance of the republic” in a Facebook post, saying that if one wants to know how all the value of this form of state disappears from life, how it is when a “worthy hatred” makes a public dignity be unworthy. Today’s “strange lord” of Parliament was formed a year ago, and excludes from the nation those who disagree with him.

However, during the epidemic, according to Christmas, the strength of the community will be demonstrated not only in Budapest, but throughout the country, this must be preserved, since it will be necessary to overcome the economic and social crisis after the epidemic. According to the mayor, we must move towards a more sustainable and humane policy.

He closed the post with the words of Árpád Göncz, according to which those without servants must become servants.
