The ‘Mi Hazánk’ movement announced that they would organize a protest against “excessive closures” on March 15th. However, the decision received criticism arguing that the demonstration is clearly not appropriate when the epidemiological situation is continuously deteriorating.
“We the yoke of slavery/No more shall wear”- the motto of Mi Hazánk’s protest was taken from one of the most popular Hungarian poems, Sándor Petőfi’s National Song, and therefore is a reference to the 1848 revolution which started on March 15th, though likening the situation of Hungarians fighting for their rights in the Habsburg Empire to closures introduced to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, is undoubtedly far-fetched.
Momentum: Pay People HUF 100,000 for Getting Vaccinated
According to Momentum, life can only go back to normal if people are vaccinated.
Besides blaming the government’s communication and arguing that it spends more on propaganda than what this project would need, party leader András Fekete-Győr added that vaccination is the only solution not only for saving lives, but also for the economic crisis, for the revival of halted sectors, and for the prevention of further job loss.
In addition, former Jobbik MP, now independent lawmaker János Bencsik’s Civic Answer (Polgári Válasz) party wants to provide exemptions from certain restrictions for those vaccinated.
