Hungary's dictatorship hates this #BlackLivesMatter artwork in Budapest...

...because of course it does.

As always, the ruling party is loud & proud about its extremist & hate-driven mentality.

When your dictator sounds like a extreme-right mass murderer, what else does anyone expect?
Remember the European People's Party @EPP - including @ManfredWeber, @vonderleyen, @donaldtuskEPP, Merkel and others - is the pan-European umbrella group that has consistently supported & promoted the creation of a dictatorship in EU member state Hungary.

All the days in 2020 that the European People's Party @EPP could have decided to #ExpelFidesz, the Hungarian ruling party, but didn't, deciding to continue supporting a dictatorship in the EU instead. Image

If you’re storming a parliament with people wearing “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirts, you know what side you’re on...

These are the faces of hatred and extremism. Image
If you’re storming a parliament with people carrying pro-slavery flags, you know what side you’re on... Image
Can we call them "deplorable" now?

New Nations in Transit 2020 democracy index from @FH_NIT is a damning indictment of how EU leaders have let member states #Poland & #Hungary crumble.

Hungary became the first country to "leave the group of democracies entirely".

Huge thanks to the European People's Party - including @ManfredWeber, @vonderleyen, @JunckerEU, @donaldtuskEPP, Merkel & others - for this. The pan-European umbrella group @EPP has for years promoted the creation of a dictatorship in EU member state Hungary. Success!
2020 was the year the EU definitively ceased being a group of democracies.

EU member state Hungary is an outright dictatorship.

EU member state Poland is not far behind.

For #HumanRightsDay tomorrow, a long thread marking the 72nd anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in its own words...
Preamble:

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind,

Senior EPP officials pretending to be angry at their long-time ally, Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

Here's how you can tell it's fake: "senior officials declined to go on the record with their threats"
politico.eu/article/epp-vi…
Let's review how the @epp has backed Orbán's consolidation of dictatorship in Hungary for years...
All the times the European People's Party, @EPP, could have decided to #ExpelFidesz over the Hungarian ruling party's destruction of democracy in an EU member state...

...and all the times the EPP refused to do so.

It’s sometimes hard to describe to people just how disgusting and extremist Hungary’s dictatorship is. You can only show them the regime's words and hope they understand the deep depravity of things like belittling the Holocaust… with anti-Semitism…
This anti-Semitic belittling of the Holocaust is supported by the EU-wide alliance known as the European People’s Party, @epp.

Merkel: EPP.
@donaldtuskEPP: EPP.
@vonderleyen: EPP.
@ManfredWeber: EPP.
Dictator Viktor Orbán: EPP.
Hate is central to the dictatorship in Hungary. And it comes right from the top.

And Orbán's allies in the EU, the European People's Party, @epp, have been central to normalising his extremism in Europe.

When you hate human rights and democracy so much, that you are willing to make yourself look ridiculous internationally...
Remember, this is the same ruling party extremist in Poland who said #LGBT people were not equal to other citizens, "We stop listening to these absurdities about so-called human rights..."
And this same person - Poland's education minister - also said people should have more children and beat the tar out of them.
