Hey Frens, as you know, we in the US are not able to trust our media. Because of this, I am asking that you, where-ever you are in the world, give us occasional updates. Let us know how things are going in your country. Is there much of a Q presence? What is happening with your political leaders? What is happening with the covid narrative? Are you able to get the necessary drugs easily and cheaply? Experiencing lockdowns? Just please, please, please give us the actual, true and accurate story from where-ever you are. Our problems are the world's problems. We each have a stake in things, no matter where we are. Thanks.

Hungary update - pretty calm, possibly before storm... Government mandated vaccines for healthcare workers, teachers might be next. Vaxx passport not required for anything internally at the moment, mask mandate only in hospitals Talks with corporations ongoing re vaxx mandate. To me it seems government doesn't want to take responsibility so might leave it up to corps. Corps don't seem to want it either and are pointing at the government. Stalemate. Third shot approved. Economy is so so, if gdp growth will be above 5.5% government will return income tax paid in 2020 to families. No social issues with vaxxed vs unvaxxed, no tensions. 5.7 million people vaxxed out of a bit less than 10 million, uptake basically stopped so I think without a mandate the vaxx rate ceiling is at about 60%. It seems government wants to avoid further lockdowns in order to avoid economic issues. Also: election in next Spring so they don't want to get unpopular (all elections are paper ballot based, no computers).
Thank you so much, colonial113. I am particularly interested in Hungary as I've been lightly following Victor Orban for a few years now and thought of him as the Trump of Hungary and even Europe. So now it's disappointing to hear the government has mandated vaccines for some groups. Are they fighting back? Also, would you be able to explain the different responsibilities for Victor Orban and Janos Arder? I thought VO was the big cheese, but now I wonder if I had that wrong. Thanks.
Orban shares some common ground with Trump but also they are quite different in many aspects. But that's ok because of different cultural aspects.
Groups don't fight back, there was some msm news about groups quitting here and there but don't know if that's true. Pretty strange, feels like nobody is doing research. I don't know to be honest.
Orban is the Minister President who holds the power (with his cabinet in the Parliament). Ader is the "president of the republic" which is more like protocol stuff. Think Boris Johnson and the Queen (sort of). Ader can veto laws and pass it back to the Parliament to revise but only once, so it's more like an advisory thing. He is also the commander of the army but that's an honorary thing as well (parades and stuff), he can't order troops to go to war (the Parliament does that). He does charity things, voices his opinions in an advisory role, mediates between parties if there is disagreement, talks about important social issues etc etc. The greatest guy who held this role was Árpád Göncz, everyone loved him. Fun trivia: he was the one who translated Lord of the Rings into Hungarian for example lol.
Thank you for explaining. That's interesting. Certainly different from the US, so a little hard to wrap my head around. I'm sorry to hear these groups aren't fighting back. I don't know what to think. Maybe they believe the vaccines are for the best, or maybe they just don't have the will to fight. Anyway, thanks for the helpful explanation.
