Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n compared Hungary’s membership in the European Union<\/a> to more than four decades of Soviet occupation of his country during a speech on Monday commemorating the anniversary of Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a select group of guests in the city of Veszprem, Orb\u00e1n accused the EU of seeking to strip Hungary of its identity by imposing a model of liberal democracy that he said Hungarians reject. Brussels, the de facto capital of the EU, employs methods against Hungary that hearken back to the days of Soviet domination by Moscow, he said.<\/p>\n

“Today, things pop up that remind us of the Soviet times. Yes, it happens that history repeats itself,” Orb\u00e1n said at the event, from which all media were excluded except Hungary’s state broadcaster. “Fortunately, what once was tragedy is now a comedy at best. Fortunately, Brussels is not Moscow. Moscow was a tragedy. Brussels is just a bad contemporary parody.”<\/p>\n

The Oct. 23 national holiday commemorates the beginning of a 1956 popular uprising against Soviet repression that began in Hungary’s capital, Budapest, and spread across the country.<\/p>\n

After Hungary\u2019s Stalinist leader was successfully ousted and Soviet troops were forced out of the capital, a directive from Moscow sent the Red Army back into Budapest and brutally suppressed the revolution, killing as many as 3,000 civilians and destroying much of the city.<\/p>\n

Orb\u00e1n, a proponent of an alternative form of populist governance that he calls “illiberal democracy,” has long used the holiday to rally his supporters. In recent years, he has used the occasion to draw parallels between the EU’s attempts to bring Hungary into compliance with its rules on corruption and democracy, and the repression the country faced under Soviet occupation in the 20th century.<\/p>\n

“We had to dance to the tune that Moscow whistled,” Orb\u00e1n said of Hungary’s days in the Eastern Bloc. “Brussels whistles too, but we dance as we want to, and if we don\u2019t want to, then we don\u2019t dance!”<\/p>\n

The holiday, which looms large in Hungary\u2019s historical memory as a freedom fight against Russian repression, comes as war rages in neighboring Ukraine, where Moscow has occupied large swaths of the country and illegally annexed four regions.<\/p>\n

Orb\u00e1n, widely considered one of Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s<\/a> only allies in the EU, has vigorously lobbied against the bloc imposing sanctions on Moscow, though the nationalist leader has ultimately voted for all sanctions packages.<\/p>\n

Last week, Orb\u00e1n met with Putin before an international forum in Beijing, a meeting that focused on Hungary\u2019s access to Russian energy. European leaders, as well as other members of the NATO military alliance such as the United States, expressed concern that Orb\u00e1n had met with Putin even as an international arrest warrant has been issued against him for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

On Monday evening, several thousand demonstrators marched down a central avenue in Budapest in opposition to Orb\u00e1n’s education policies \u2014 which they say undervalue teachers in public schools and are resulting in an educator shortage \u2014 as well as Hungary’s continued relationship with Russia despite Moscow’s invasion.<\/p>\n

“Back then, the Soviet Union invaded Hungary, and today\u2019s Russia is demonstrating similar efforts at conquest, and we\u2019d like to express our solidarity with Ukraine,” said demonstrator Katalin Beke. “It really damages the interests of our allies that (Orb\u00e1n) is so visibly friendly with (Putin). I find it extremely damaging.”<\/p>\n

Pausing in front of the Russian Embassy, demonstrators chanted, “Russians go home!”, a phrase popularized during the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising. Another demonstrator, Istvan Muzsa, said he felt “shame” over Orb\u00e1n’s meeting with Putin in Beijing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the country\u2019s shame and the shame of every decent person, regardless of party preference and which side someone votes for,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
