Visitors to the Sziget Music Festival in Hungary expressed their dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Friday. According to AFP, anti -government shouts at concerts before the next year’s elections are an increasingly common phenomenon, TASR writes.
Budapest Sziget is one of the largest European music festivals and attracts approximately 400,000 visitors every year. On Friday During the performance of one of the Hungarian rappers at the festival, viewers chanted the “dirty Fidesz”. In the past period, the slogan “dirty Fidesz” has been widely used in anti -government gatherings to condemn Prime Minister Orbán and his party Fidesz, who has been continuously in power since 2010.
According to the Hungarian media, the chanting of this slogan first appeared at the Small Festival at the end of June. Since then has spread to festivals across the country, also to neighboring Romania and Slovakia, where there are numerous Hungarian -speaking communities. The slogan even screamed during concerts and apolitical artists, writes AFP.
Orbán this year faced criticism from several Hungarian musicians. In January of this year, rapper Majka released the song Csurran, Cseppen (chirp, drip), which has so far 25 million views on Yotube. In the clip, he sings about Prime Minister Pandur in a fictitious Bindžistan, who, under the influence of the serum of Truth, boasts a live television broadcast by corruption and abuse of power. After interviewing the interview, the staff members unexpectedly fall out of the hospital window. Only one survived, but he then dropped again and Prime Minister Pandur introduces a total dictatorship in Bindžistan the day after the interview was broadcast.
Before the next year’s elections, Orbán faced an unprecedented call of opposition leader Péter Magyar, who has been a member of Fidesz since 2002 and worked in important state institutions, writes the French agency.
Recent surveys show that Magyar’s Party Tisza has a significant lead of 42 percent, according to the June survey, between voters aged 18 and 29. At this year’s Sziget festival, which will last until Monday, the American pop star Chapppell Roan and the British club Diva Charli XCX will perform.
Hungarian in July The government has banned the provocative Irish rap group KNECAP to appear at Sziget and accused them of anti -Semitic hateful speeches. The organizers of the festival described this step as “unprecedented” and regrettable.
