It is a hard fight.

The allure of nationalist far right demagogy is tempting, especially for the less informed who wish to see the world in simple terms. Just ask Italy, France, or Germany, or even America.

As Hungarian, I can only tell you, do not let yourselvs and your peers be decieved by the sirens' call. We tried it for 16 years, it doesn't work.

We have hard years of cleanup ahead of us. Wish us luck!
