KOCSIS: ALL MEANS MUST BE USED AGAINST INCITEMENT OF THREATS TO LIFE

 

The group leader of ruling Fidesz has called for „using all means against any form of incitement of or reference to threats to life.”
Máté Kocsis shared in a post on Facebook on Sunday the profile of a user who he said launched a vote „in a liberal group” on when the Hungarian prime minister would be shot.
Kocsis said that knowing the „cowardly and underhanded methods of the liberal media”, they would brush off the remarks as „humour not to be taken seriously”.
„Those times are over,” he said. „This indeed must be taken seriously…especially in view of the assassination attempts against [Slovak PM] Robert Fico and [former US president] Donald Trump”.
„This is bloodlust by liberal hate mongers who think they can disguise their intentions as a joke,” he said.
He said that Viktor Orban was a father of five and a grandfather of six first, and a politician second.
„That’s enough of liberals’ incitement, underhandedness and aggressive hate,” he said.
