They want more democratic results that represent the people. Something they had under communism, and something that no liberal democracy actually provides. In a bourgeoise-democracy you get a choice between multiple parties none of which represent the people. In a proletarian-democracy you get proletarian results. Such is the nature of dictatorships of class.
The head commissar of the National Police from communist times is the current Minister of Interior. Also, he was a board member in Hungary’s largest bank during the brief time he wasn’t in the government in some way.
Half a dozen ministers from Orbán’s government shared a dorm room with him back when he was secretary for the Young Communists.
Unlike most neighbouring countries, the documents detailing covert interior security agents have not been publicly released. The people of the old Hungarian State Security who were tasked with finding out, torturing and killing counterrevolutionaries are now occupying seats in the parliament, government and opposition alike.
So lol yes, they are. Except they now pretend to be fascists instead of pretending to be communists.
Under capitalism the political class are subservient to the financial elite. You are making a hierarchy error, these people are puppets to the real elite.
Orbán is the richest man in Hungary. He is the financial elite. There was one person who has been used by him as a strawman and thus was in the same league financially, and then he tried to go against him. The guy is out of the country and has been stripped of most of his money.
You’re applying US patterns to places you don’t understand. In Hungary, the old communist elite saved their power and transferred it into the new capitalist system, that morphed into the current hybrid regime. It resembles Russia more than anything else, with the same pattern that you can’t be independently wealthy in Hungary.
They didn’t say you’re American, they’re saying you’re applying US patterns to places you don’t understand, which you certainly don’t have to be American to do.
You seem to be outright lying (to yourself, perhaps?) In the face of evidence against your claims. Communism only provides “more democratic results that represent the people” in a utopian setting, of which Hungary under communism certainly did not. The artical outright states that the people behind the dissatisfaction numbers believe they don’t have a democracy, which makes so much sense now that u/maynarkh has explained that the very same elite under under communist rule solidified themselves into Hungary’s new government. Jesus. No wonder they’re unsatisfied.
Listen, I know it’s no fun to have your beliefs shaken, heaven knows that’s happened to me a few times and it sucks. But instead of digging your heels in and trying to twist the words of the articles you linked that you honestly believed backed up your claims, either find ones that actually do, or drop this one, cause anyone with a brain can figure out it actually doesnt.

Except the current Hungarian elite and the previous elite are the same people.
Wow, I wasn’t aware of this! That’s wild, no wonder there’s so much dissatisfaction!
lol no they’re not
