The traitor's swan song

Gordon Bajnai, the illegitimate prime minster of the country delivered his last speech, in the Parliament, on Monday, before the next general election, on April 11. In the first part of his speech, he praised himself and his policies, as the caretaker prime minister taking over the government after the resignation of his boss, the infamous psychopath Ferenc Gyurcsany.

The speech itself, was full of banalities and was so insignificant not even worth quoting it.

What was, on the other hand, interesting is his attack on Jobbik. He called upon Fidesz to join forces with the socialists, against Jobbik's radical agenda opposing corruption and treason and supporting decency and truthfulness, values that are rarities among politicians in the current Hungarian parliament.

He said Fidesz and the socialists have to find a common platform to fight against Jobbik and the values it represents. What was the most repulsive in this part of the speech is that he called Attila Mesterházy, the socialist candidate for prime minister a “hazafi”.

The term “hazafi” means patriot in English. However, it is a unique phrase; the term was not commonly used during the communist era; it was brought back to common usage by truthful and incorruptible Hungarian resistance fighters battling against the dictatorial Gyurcsany regime during the past eight years. As such, the term has become one of the distinguishing marks of descent, truthful and uncompromising individuals willing to fight for their country, without expecting any reword. In this respect, the term closely linked up with the resistance movement that came to existence during the dictatorial Gyurcsany era marked by demonstrations, street fighting and police terror. It was this period, when the resistance movement developed its strategies and become a formidable opponent of the ruthless regime used open terror to put down and imprison those disagreed with its treasonous policies.

The term “hazafi” inseparably tied to the ideas and the actions of patriotic Hungarians fighting for freedom and justice, in the past eight years to make Hungary a better county. Calling a criminal, a traitor and a stooge like Attila Mesterházy, a “hazafi” is an insult, a desecration of the term.
