Momentum TizenX

We are the youth organization of @momentumhu, a liberal party in Hungary. 🇭🇺🇪🇺💜

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

Liberal opposition party Momentum has been organising protests since March to stop or at least slow down the country’s quick Putinization. The leader of the biggest opposition party, Péter Magyar, stayed away from the protests, choosing to wait for the 2026 elections. (6/6)

RUSSIA-STYLE FOREIGN AGENT LAW TO BE INTRODUCED IN HUNGARY

The time of Viktor Orbán’s promised “major cleanup” has arrived. In March, Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s PM for 15 years, promised a “spring major cleanup” that would target judges, politicians, journalists and NGOs. (1/6)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

The European Commission urged Orbán to withdraw the bill, citing serious concerns. With the 2026 elections approaching, many fear this is another step towards Orbán’s dictatorship, which would keep him in power despite his huge popularity decline. (5/6)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

If the listed organisations accept foreign funding for the second time, they can be shut down by the authority with immediate effect. Moreover, the affected organisation can turn only to the Supreme Court for legal remedy, where the judges consist of Orbán’s appointees. (4/6)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

The bill criminalises applying for EU tenders and accepting money from abroad. Those who do so will get on the black list of the recently created “Sovereignty-protection Authority”. The listed organisations would get a fine equal to 25 times the accepted foreign funding. (3/6)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

In the same speech, he called them “bugs, who have been here for too long”. Now, as spring is ending shortly, he has finally made up his mind and introduced his cleanup law to the Parliament, which he ironically named “transparency law”. (2/6)

ORBÁN'S 2/3 ADOPTS THE 15TH MODIFICATION OF THE CONSTITUTION

Last week, the Hungarian Parliament modified the Constitution for the 15th time since it came into power in 2012. Viktor Orbán's parliamentary 2/3 voted among Momentum's blockade and protest around the building. (1/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

Lastly, Orbán wrote into the Constitution that paying with cash is a basic right. Therefore, every merchant in Hungary has to allow cash payment. Furthermore, every bank that operates in Hungary has to provide cash withdrawal opportunity (ATM) in every single town. (8/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

As context, the author of this Constitution, József Szájer, ended his political career when he tried to escape naked through a drainpipe from an illegal homosexual orgy in Brussels during COVID-lockdown with extasy drug pill in his backpack. (7/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

In accordance with Orbán's previously announced war against drugs, now the Constitution bans the production, distribution, usage, possession and promotion of any kind of drugs, including light drugs. (6/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

Orbán also found it important to state in the Constitution that "a person's birth gender is a biological attribute that - in accordance with the order of the Creation - can be either male or female". (5/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

Moreover, the "children's right to healthy development" is now the 2nd most important right in the Constitution after the right to life. This provides the legal basis for banning the Budapest Pride march. Despite that, it is planned to be held on the 28th of June this year. (4/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

The new modification allows the government to expel those Hungarian double-citizens who "impose a threat to the national security of Hungary". Also, the government is not obliged to justify such decisions, and the Supreme Court can't evaluate if the said threat is real. (3/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

Those who walked next to Hungary's famous Parliament last Monday could see high security alert. This was due to Momentum's announced plan to close the entrances of the building to prevent Orbán's 2/3 modifying the Constitution and thus entering a new stage of Putinization. (2/8)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

In response, Momentum party MPs protested in parliament using smoke grenades and distributing leaflets. Speaker László Kövér imposed fines totalling over 80 million HUF (€200.000) and banned the involved MPs from parliament for several weeks. 🏳️‍🌈✊🇪🇺 (2/2)

HUNGARY BANS PRIDE AND RESTRICTS ASSEMBLY RIGHTS
Hungary's parliament passed a law banning Budapest Pride and restricting assembly right. The legislation allows authorities to use AI-driven facial recognition technology to identify and fine participants. (1/2)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

These dual citizens would be expelled from Hungary if they "violate Hungary's sovereignty". This phrasing is very vague, so it might be used as a weapon against dual-citizen politicians, journalists and civil activists who criticize Orbán. (2/2)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

DUAL CITIZENS ARE THREATENED WITH EXPULSION FROM HUNGARY

Recently, Fidesz parliamentary group leader, Máté Kocsis announced a new modification of the Constitution which would make it possible to expel Hungarian citizens that have another citizenship as well. (1/2)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

We firmly stand against this ban as it not only violates fundamental rights such as freedom of assembly but also pushes Hungary further away from the free world by following the Putin model. (3/3)

[Momentum TizenX @MTizenx]

ORBÁN TO BAN BUDAPEST PRIDE Orbán announced in his usual year-evaluation speech that "the organisers of Budapest Pride shouldn't bother with the preparations of this year's street parade". (1/3)
