19.26: Péter Magyar told Megafon that the crumbling structure of the child protection system is not an airsoft field, but the hard reality of everyday life for many, and the Tisza Party is helping them and working together with millions of people to take Hungary back step by step, brick by brick.
Every flood begins with the first drop of rain, my dear friends, the spring wind floods the Tisza
– said the vice-president of the Tisza Party, who also promised that, if they are trusted, they will not send corrupt drug politicians who do not speak languages, but are good at climbing eaves to the European Parliament, but patriots who speak many languages and have graduated from the best universities in the world. Péter Magyar told Viktor Orbán and Ferenc Gyurcsány, whom he invited to debate, that he does not like to play chess with pigeons, but he will accept the debate with Tamás Deutsch and Klára Dobrev if they are finally invited to broadcast live on public television.
“On the day after the election, the Ministry of Propaganda will be thrown out of that wonderful building, and the Ministry of Health or Education will be there,” Péter Magyar continued his speech, emphasizing that all Hungarians are pro-peace, no one wants war. “We believe in the teaching of Saint Paul, ‘if there is no love in me, I am worthless’, and the country needs love and digging ditches.”

He sees that the government is pro-war, they are building a tank and ammunition factory, buying fighter jets, and they can send soldiers to Chad. The vice-chairman of the Tisza Party commented on the prime minister, “we saw that the brave warrior, who does not dare to look his voters in the eye, kicked off the campaign in a closed granary. The streets of Győr were as if there was a curfew, the brave walked there”.
Viktor Orbán previously spoke about the terror of opinion in Brussels, but anyone can say anything in Hungary, “he said this a week after the Reformed pastor Zoltán Tarr was fired from his state job two days after his speech on Kossuth Square, and others who help the Tisza Party were also fired “.
19.06: Péter Magyar emphasized that the Minister of the Interior Sándor Pintér is responsible for all children, this task was pushed to him together with health and education. According to Péter Magyar, this is too much, he is unable to fulfill his duties, and the minister acts responsibly if he resigns with immediate effect.
The time has passed for you and the loss of eye luster, no one accepts smearing anymore. Minister, it’s over, you have to put down the lute, you have to retire, you have to go take care of your grandchildren
– said Péter Magyar, promising that if they receive authorization from the voters, they will eliminate the errors of the child protection system, and he also promised a wage increase. According to him, the government kicked the Bicske victims for the seventh time when the details of the compensation were made public on Friday. Péter Magyar stated that such a government cannot remain, they must leave.
19.00: Anna Donáth, president of Momentum, will also participate. The politician is a on his Facebook page wrote about how they still haven’t received an answer as to why K. Endre was pardoned, and they still haven’t apologized for the victims in Bicske.
We still see no sign of the government taking child protection seriously
– he writes, adding that Péter Magyar’s demonstration on Friday is about this very thing, so that no one forgets the victims of Bicske and the issue of child protection. “As I promised, anyone who organizes a stand or a demonstration for the protection of children, I will always be there.”
18.55: Péter Magyar believes that, in addition to the necessary professional preparation, attention is also needed. The Prime Minister said in 2017 that we will soon catch up with Austria. according to the vice president of the Tisza Party, we have already sped past him in one aspect: the number of victims of human trafficking. Péter Magyar suggested to Viktor Orbán that they should start small, try to catch up with Romania first, and ensure that Hungarian schools and hospitals have soap, toilet paper and disinfectants. He also called Tamás Menczer and Tamás Deutsch clowns, who said that trouble comes from Brussels. He suggested that they ask “the son-in-law of the nation, is there anyone else coming from there?” Is there money for horse blood?”.
It was stolen
– chanted the protesters, to which Péter Magyar replied that it might happen.

18.48: Péter Magyar asked the question:
What did the big lords do if the questioning about what happened in a special children’s home happened only after his Facebook post?
The politician would say that he would post one for every abused child, but this is not an effective solution, it would require meaningful steps and zero tolerance in pedophile cases, as well as the establishment of a trained police unit. They agree with all elements of the child protection package announced on Wednesday, but according to him, it is not a solution, but an escape from real treatment. He called the tightening measures welcome, even if they are rushed.
Péter Magyar believes that the government is now trying to shift the responsibility for pedophile cases to the courts, even though he believes that the really weak link in the chain is the severely underfunded child protection. He emphasized that action must be taken today, and now he only ran for stricter measures in court, even though stricter penalties do not have a deterrent effect, but the risk of getting caught does. He called Máté Kocsis, the introducer of the bill, a clown. He explained that there were no consequences to the worrying news that reached Zoltán Balog at the beginning of 2010 in the Bicske case.
18.36: “Good morning, Mr. Minister,” Péter Magyar began his speech to Sándor Pintér, Minister of the Interior. Péter Magyar sees that the opposite is true, they lie in the morning, they lie in the evening, they lie on all wavelengths, the government ignores children and incites war between Hungarians and Hungarians.
In two and a half months, the members of the government did not get to the point of apologizing to the victims of Bicske. Péter Magyar said that he attended a Catholic school, one of the foundations of Christianity is forgiveness, but this is only possible by apologizing, they have already apologized several times instead of Viktor Orbán. Péter Magyar said that two cases are possible:
Viktor Orbán apologizes and accepts responsibility, or leaves immediately and takes all those responsible with him.
“Resign,” the protesters chanted.
18.30: Nagy Ervin Szilágyi invited Kitti to the stage, who is his niece, a member of the board of the Civil Bázis, and a kindergarten teacher. Kitti Szilágyi said that they are here because children are still being hurt, the child protection system has been eviscerated, the government is unable to protect the children. Their child protection proposal was already swept away in the parliament at the committee level. According to the child educator, the government’s primary task is to provide protection to children. He drew attention to the fact that many people face trauma outside of children’s homes.
The Hungarian government has failed
Kitti Szilágyi stated, adding that the government is neither able nor willing to protect children, the government’s method is punishment and control, but this is not the same as child protection. Finally, he urged everyone to come to the demonstration on Saturday as well.
18.24: Péter Magyar wished Ervin Nagy a happy name day. The actor said that it is good to see that the Tisza is flowing. He also spoke about the fact that the government did nothing for the victims.
We have had enough
chanted the protesters. As a family man, Ervin Nagy thinks a lot about how many people grew up without a mother or father, they could count on the Hungarian state, but this is not the case. He promised that the Tisza Party would protect all children without families. According to Ervin Nagy, while the government speculates, there are civilians who are working on real solutions. He told the Carmelites to be ashamed of themselves.
18.16: Ervin Nagy asked the demonstrators to sing Szozat together.
18.13: Katalin Lukácsi collects recommendations for Péter Juhász’s downtown mayoral candidacy at a stand a few meters from the demonstration.
18.08: Péter Magyar also arrived at the scene. Here, the vice president of the Tisza Party talks about the truck painted in national colors that travels the country.

18.01: At the time of the official start of the demonstration, the demonstrators are still arriving at the site, where they have set up a tent and a counter for collecting recommendations.
Based on the description of the demonstration, they demand “real child protection reform, a significant increase in child protection funding. We demand the accountability of the heads of the institutions who covered up the atrocities, the resignation of the political leaders, Minister of the Interior Sándor Pintér, and the departure of the government”.
Péter Magyar first held a flag-breaking demonstration on March 15, then called people to the streets on March 26, and most recently organized a demonstration on April 6 at Lajos Kossuth Square.
