You know how far-righters say Viktor Orban "protected" Europe from brown people? Turns out it's a lie. Imagine my shock.

I think we can all agree that this could have been easily avoided with a pan-hungarian monorail.
oof
a hyperrail so to speak
Single-lane underground tunnel with eco-friendly, autonomus, self driving pods would've worked as well. If Hungary only had some kind of navigable water way running through the region... a river or something that ships could use... if only...
Lolllll
@@omimahnjen3997 then someone would have to invent a floating device of sorts that could carry people and cargo. Hyperboat, hypership, oh I don't know... it'd never work.
I like how there is written on the locomotive: "Europe without borders since 25 years". The irony
Borders for thee but not for me
You can't make this shit up...
@Peter Kurten I dunno. It is written in german. I doubt many people from syria etc. speak german. And it seems also doubtful that orban speaks good enough german to know that.
@Peter Kurten Orban doesn't need to do that, there are a lot of paid anti Orban/and state provocators also here, who organized that. Since they lost the elections they want to "hang" Orban, and these thousands - many of them were members of the communist militia or the state communist party - and some of them now own a huge privatized fortune stolen at the end of communism - say it every day on social media.
@Ordoliberal Absolutely not true. Do you believe these?
'...if these people were British tourists they'd be fist-fighting the police at this point...' I feel so seen, sadly. You're not wrong.
If they were "ingerlish" football fans then definitely yes.
Well that's our impression somehow of the British tourists in Budapest, sadly. Other nationalities too, but word of mouth says British are the worst, here at least. Dunno about other countries, maybe only we got the worst kind of ppl here, stag parties and all

Immigrants: Why?
Imagine being a random Pakistani person walking on the street and then tens of buses come and pick you up for no reason and then you are in Austria all of the sudden.
oh it was strange for me alright. I was in Berlin at the time and I had lived in Berlin already before the "refugee crisis". Walking down the street was full of surprises, I either got special treatments in shops and stores by pro immigration people or screamed at by anti immigration people. Weird af (mind you, both my parents were full time doctors for the International Red Cross, earning far more than the average income for Germany, I was brown but I had perfect German and was already well established in Germany)

Keep in mind that this video leaves out a lot. For instance why the migrants made their way to Western Europe in the first place.
@@TheMorgenTee why?
@@khuszar6778 I assume the reason is to paint Orban in the worst way possible - when in fact the migrants were incentivized to leave the refugee camp they resided in due to the EU cutting food rations and Angela Merkel basically inviting them in a television appearance to come to Germany. If you don't believe, please do your own research. It's always a good idea to be skeptical about what someone tells you on the internet. This is also true for this video which works with lies of omission.
@@TheMorgenTee So, my understanding was that the topic of the video was to debunk that twitter claim that Orban was the only government leader who prevented migrants from entering western Europe. I think he did a pretty good job of debunking that claim and, in fact, demonstrated that Orban actually exacerbated the migrant crisis in Western Europe. I don't see how the "reason the migrants were fleeing Eastern Europe in the first place" is relevant to this topic at all. I'm not saying that it doesn't matter period, but I am saying that it's not relevant for this video... There was obviously a lot more to the 2015 migrant crisis than the actions of the Hungarian government, but this video is primarily focused on the actions of the Hungarian government. The fact that specific other events related to the 2015 migrant crisis aren't included in the video isn't "lying by omission".
Despite the video being rather sad, I admit I laughed my ass off trying to visualize purchasing two hundred fucking thousand sim cards.
you go to every corner shop in a city, on a daily basis, for several weeks, using several people to do so. I haven't ever bought 200 thousand sim cards, but I presume, that might be one way to go about doing so.

British tourists generally don't invade other countries. The buy tickets, enter legally and leave after a week or two.
I remember watching the migrant walk live, it was one of the most incredible events in recent Hungarian history. Sometimes I think they were smarter than us, it only took them a few weeks under Orbán's rule to have enough of it and just collectively get up and walk to Austria. We locals still haven't mass-evacuated the country after 12 years.

I remember this moment perfectly, I was an exchange student in Austria for a year, and I literally arrived the same exact day the refugees started walking to Vienna. I went to the westbahnhof (which was the main train station before the hauptbahnhof opened) on 05/09/15 to go to my host family and it was simply astonishing to see the ammount of refugees there, most of them with big signs thanking the austrian goverment for letting them in, boy what a time to be alive it was.

Orban protected "EASTERN" Europe from migrants. Since he closed borders, the migrants avoided slovakia poland and czechia, and went straight to germany through austria.

True. Im Hungarian living in Slovakia and the only time i met migrants was when i was visiting Budapest.

It was really sad to see

@@danciagar I did not vote last time, next time if I vote I will vote for Fidesz. As most people I try to vote for the least bad. Here are some important migration rules that Hungary has to follow as an EU border state: Migrants need to be registered where they enter the EU. They can also be sent back to the country where they entered the EU. Hungary has to enforce these rules. Migrants did not want to register in Hungary, they wanted to get to richer countries like Germany. There is a conflict of rules and interests. Hungary had no interest in supporting migration through its territory. We built a fence which we are entitled to do and later on Austria built one, too. Building a fence has worked migrants avoided Hungary.

As a Hungarian conservative, I started watching this video with a little doubt. Not because I am brainwashed, or rural, or elderly (I am in my 20s and live in the capital. At the time of the crisis I lived in a block just beside Keleti, so I had a premiere-plain view of this whole mess) The reason of my doubt is that some people tend to edge out things, only highlighting certain details, that support their point of view (fyi the gov' in our home does just this) But the video turned out to be decent. Again, I am a conservative, but that doesn't mean that I am a far righter. Adam got almost everything right, and made a fairly objective point of sth, that is subjected to very intense political debate in my country, up to this day. However, there is a thing missing, that I think is very important: Registration. You see, in the EU's quota system, it works as follows: If let us say, an afghani family enters the EU AND gets registered in Croatia, then, if the western countries decide, that for some reason they don't have a place for said afghani family in their country, they get sent back to the place, where they entered the EU and got registered, in this case, Croatia, so it becomes Croatia's responsibility, to take care of them. And the ruling party in my home knew of this. So they transferred everybody, on tax payer's money, without registration to Austria, to let it be their problem. Now, I know what you are thinking: That its spineless cowardice, or worse. And I agree with you. Hungarians are a very polarised nation. And most of them are still beholden to populism, a thing which not only fidesz, but every other pp in Hungary take advantage of. This is, sadly our way of things since the Fall of the Iron Curtain (and even before that, but thats another story.) Populists trying to beat populists, with no real public servants in our political life, and the ppl stuck between a rock and a hard place. You either vote the alleged "commies" (who, for the historical account do have some connetions to the old day's regime.), or you vote the populists, alleged "nationalists". These are you options in Hungary, and if someone tries to rise up, and make a difference, the current ruling popus usually make short work of him/her, mostly financially.
Thank you for the context
I noticed the same with the political situation in Hungary (I'm a Dutch guy married to a Hungarian woman). The whole political system is rotten to the core, it's like having to chose between frying a baby or boiling a baby, there is no single good option.
I would say im center to right wing, and things like these are hapenning in Czechia aswell. Our prime minister was a business magnate and known bad guy at best, mafian at worst. He and his party have record number of corruption affairs and still 30% of people here vote him, its same as with Hungary, old school thinking populist admiring boomers and seniors. His electorate consists mostly of these 2 entities, so he sent every senior pensioner 250USD through post to get some votes in upcoming parliamental elections. His book he made is such a bizzare, you can read first pages and tell whats the targeted groups age. Its okay tho, prices are increasing here, thanks to our prime minister and his party, so populist boomers are for sure happy. Unlucky that communist time seniors and alcoholic boomers dont know shit about inflation and devaluing of money through stealing from EU grants and whatnot. I feel like were doomed. Fucken shithole.
everyone who is sane sees islam for what it realy is, a wicked and sick ideology. Letting that ideology spread in ur nation will lead only to problems. Hungarians doing everything to prevent it is not a bad thing.
Kinda like america
Excellent video. I was living in Budapest when all this was going down, and actually took part in trying to help the refugees stuck at Keleti at the time by volunteering there. Even so, I have I never seen such a comprehensive summary of the situation, with so many of the gaps filled. Everyone should see this video. Új kedvenc csatornám vagy, Ádám!

Damn, the “🇵🇱❤️🇭🇺” statement is actually true. We even have equally shitty goverments!
Just because you disagree with it does not mean they are shitty. The Hungarian government did everything in there power to stop them.

I am sure you like it if it matches your political views, it is very biased. Orban did use the migration crisis for political goals, but it does not mean there was no crisis. Even Angela Merkel had to back off from her Willkommenskultur. Most Germans are not so welcoming as you might think.

Watching english videos about hungarian politics (as a hungarian) because the hungarian media is corrupt >>>
The anti-migrant posters in Hungarian may seem absurd, but really they're just illustrative of how anti-immigration politics functions in much of the world. The people who are most hostile to immigration aren't generally the people who are most effected by it- they're typically in places with very low actual levels of immigration like rural areas and small towns and a large proportion are retired (and thus not competing with immigrants in the job market). Most of their fear and resentment is due to portrayals of the issue in the media. Because it is the public perception of immigration that is the problem, and not immigration itself, populist politicians ahve realised that symbolic gestures become much more important than policies for effectively managing migration, even if those gestures are absurd or counter-productive- e.g. posters in a language migrants can't understand, border walls or leaving the EU.
No wonder Trumpian lunatics and the Le Pen family business disguised as a nationalist party are sucking up to Orbán. They are taking their copies.
The connection between far right hungarian militias and Abdeslam is very reminiscent of what happened with the Charlie Hebdo attacks where the weapons were provided to the Kouachi brothers by Claude Hernant, a former military that became a prominent figure of far right circles in the north of france and was making money by "reactivating" demilitarized weapons bought somewhere in eastern Europe. This guy was also an informant for the french intelligence services ...
The Migrant Crisis taught Europe a very good lesson though. After the crisis in 2015 you can notice Europe and the West in general disengaging from the Middle East. I think it FINALLY clicked for the first time that if America and American led coalitions keep bombing and destroying Middle Eastern nations none stop then of course thousands of people will migrate out of the region and go to Europe. This is in part why you can notice a ton of conservative politicians who were preaching disengagement rose in Europe. It is also why you see more and more European nations saying NO to America's interventions and requests for back up / new coalitions and this has pushed America itself to FINALLY disengage from the region. A slow lesson that has been learned. Now Middle Eastern nations can slowly (and I mean VERY slowly) rebuild and hopefully have more stability which will discourage massive migration like that from ever happening again.

I remember around this time, many immigrant were forced to stay/live in the eastern railway station in Budapest. They were forced to stay there and live on nearby streets like homeless people, in horrible conditions for weeks witth little but no help at all. I passed day by day there, and I saw families with little childs in misery, living off the street, without any prospect. They were forced into this inhumane situation deliberately, to push them trought the breaking point. After weeks and weeks of suffering obviously some atrocity happened, then the media/goverment got the casus belly to transfer every immigrant to immigration-camps, then drop out every one of them from the country.
Thats depressing as fuck. This world is so inhumane.
No one FORCED them to do anything. They went to a country, entered illegally, then got stuck because they could not enter the next country illegally so easily. They and the people who encouraged them to do so were 100% responsible for their situation.
Hi Adam, I am huge fan of your content, I think everything you put out is extremely well researched and well explained. What shocks me most about your videos is your level of English. You are so articulate and clearly have a near-native level grasp of the language (although you retain an accent from your native language, this doesn't detract at all from your ability and actually gives you that "european charm"). I'd love to know what your method was of learning English and expanding your vocab. Have you been learning since you were a child? Whatever your methods are I would like to apply them to learning other languages.
This is a very good video more people need to see, especially with the Hungarian elections coming up.

@@ep6600 lmao what? It'd be less bureaucracy if the entirety of Europe had a single government, because there'd be only one of everything. Your statement makes no sense... it would work and it will happen, its pretty much inevitable
@@ep6600 To be honest the HRE only became a clusterfuck after a few centuries, did survive afterwards for a few centuries more until it died, only to spawn one of the most powerful european nation afterwards.
@@thatangrygerman2076 sure, you go complain to the far away capital when there's trouble in your life caused by government action. Goofball!
"If you were on the side of that road and you were brown, the hungarian government took you to western europe FOR FREE" 😭😭😭😂😂🤣. "You! Brownie! What are you waiting for? You going to austria right? Lets go!"
10:15 just golden. LMAO! They couldn't choose better locomotive to arrive at that station
Great stuff, sharing it all over. Ügyesen utánanéztél, még akik itt élnek sem kaptak rendes képet a hazugságokról. Köszi.
And this is how to become a dictator in democracy.
First of all i have to say i love your content, i binged watched most of your videos on my weekend. And as a syrian refugee that was at that fucking train station for 3 days that everything you said is absolutely correct. And i have hundreds of pictures documenting my journey from Lebanon to Germany where im a citizen now. And i can only add that even after hungry supposedly closed down the border at the end of September , you could easily bribe any border guard for about 300 euros and another 100 euros if you want him to call you a taxi to take you directly to Germany (thats another 1000 euros per person). Any one who had money was easily able to reach western europ , only the poor and the people that needed the moat help could not and had to wait months or even years for the resettlement into sweeden or Germany.
I feel so bad for Syrians in Lebanon (especially alawites who get beat up by phalange for being assumed to be Assad supporters). I wish we could do more for you guys, Palestinians, etc. Especially considering how Syriaand history of helping Lebanese, Palestinians, and Armenians out.
Why am I not surprised Tucker Carlson holds Orban up as some kind of good guy even though he let terrorists pass through his country and gave them a free ride. Fascists think alike I suppose.
Yep and my dad wanted me to watch tucker’s segment about orban. I’m glad I avoided it
Then what you will tell about Italy and Greece, they did exact same thing. And now France is doing this in Calais 🤔
I was traveling in eastern europe at that time and watched some of this crap unfold in Budapest live. Time flies ...
I was there for all of this and NONE of this came through from the news of course :) I'm so glad I got the hell out of there. Thank you for this video so I can show my English speaking friends what a political pisspot I come from.
Still too many Hungarians fall for Orban's propaganda
Jobbik is the real ''far-right'' party, as you can see in the poll in 3:50 almost 70% of people in Hungary votes either for them or Orban...
@@TheJirkal fidesz, jobbik and Mi hazánk. Are far right. Marky-Zay's new party is right (neo-liberal) all the rest are called socialist and acts more capitalist than the right. What we need is a true socialist party tbh
Well. Orban could have handled this better. Based on your report, Orban engaged in an act of political trolling and creative rail system financing.
Exactly political trolling is the best way to discribe this,he knew exactly what he was doing,he set his political goals and he archived them.
Good video! I hope you do a video explaining Hungarian politics and system of governance eventually.
finally a hungarian-english channel i can get behind.
The problem is that we as a continent were not strict enough. The migrants should have been stopped at Greece and this whole issue would have been avoided.
Easier solution, Hungary could do basic border checks. Or even easier solution: kick Hungary you of the schengen area. They can rejoin once they learn to handle a border correctly.
@@humanperson6495 but they did handle their border correctly.
@ForOne814 By letting undocumented immigrants move across borders without processing them or running border checks? Sound legit to me
@@humanperson6495 that did lead to destabilization in EU.
@@ForOne814 Which is why removing them is the logical conclusion
Thank you so much. It is rare to have people actually do good "contemporary history" and well-written fact-checking of the lies of leaders who still are in power, with a rather good touch of irony.
You are my only source of well researched but still entertainingly presented Hungarian news. I only found similar channel for US issues and I also think the language barrier keeps away the worst types of political trolls from here. I'm glad that I found you, keep up the good work!
Leaving a comment for the algorithm, hope this video gets more views like it deserves!
This also ties in with the video that Three Arrows made about this exact subject, although yours is a bit more heavy on the Hungarian angle.
Was looking for this comment.
FINALLLLY! Someone noticed the bilboards! I thought i was the only one. Phew.
Thank you for the video! we must all learn and understand the world before we even cast a judge.
Deserves more views, your channel is getting better and better.
This is one of your videos that needs more views.
Wow. This played out like some dark comedy film. Especially the bit about the European Picnic train!
I really hope your channel will grow, this is excellent!
Thanks so much for this valuable insight in the events of 2015. Because 'Hungary stopped the migratory flux' is a very popular line in Germany and France
There is a new french documentary called : "les ombres du Bataclan" It's about French government responsibility for not acting to prevent the attack. Haven't watched it yet, but there might be more information!
Man, the pan-european picnic train arriving in Budapest station is such a beautiful moment. The incompetence of railway planners really brings about the List der Vernunft, Hegel's cunning of reason. Hope that everyone in need finds a place in a train to take them to their desired destination.
This video was a roller coaster from start to finish
This was a very emotional video. Thank you for making it.
I worked at Auchan Budaörs as a foreigner (I'm French) from August 2015 to July 2016. Migrants were parked in front of the train station in Budapest since months. At the beginning of September, they decided (or were pushed to do it) walk from Budapest downtown. I saw them from my office walking on the highway at Budaörs between Budapest and Vienna. The government, probably excited about what happened, decided rapidly to mobilize a lot of buses to conduct migrants at the Austrian border. Problem solved for Hungary so but not for Europe. After that they began to build a wall with their Serbian and Croatian border, I remember going to Belgrad and see all those migrants stuck at the door of the EU for months. The military checked every train wagon from Zagreb to Budapest for migrants.
I'm Hungarian and I consider myself right-wing (moderate) but I absolutely abhor Orbán and Fidesz because they've never walked the talk. Thank you for reassuring my inuitions and backing them up with unchallengable facts.
Are Fidesz still the most popular or have they lost support?
@@slickrick2420 they're by far the most popular because the opposition is unorganised and people don't trust them.
@@ferencmarcellpalyi220 Yet they trust Fidesz despite the corruption scandals?
@@slickrick2420 the opposition is fractured thus puts up no fight with the ruling party. Obviously they flow some money into sectors that make up their voting base also.
@@ferencmarcellpalyi220 Thanks for the insight!
Damn dude, that's some good research and documentation you did for this video.
Fantastic job presenting the facts! I've been following this equally long, but damn this is a brand new perspective on the Hungarian side we never get to see!
So basically Orban is bad because he doesn't want the refugees to come to Europe, implying that the refugees coming to Europe is something good but then you say that he's bad because he transported them to Austria and that the Paris attacks where his fault even though the terrorists travelled to Belgium in a car and not in the Orban buses.
Orbán is bad because he didnt let the terrorists blow up hungary instead of france. Bad bad boi
Orban is Putin's bitch. pretty telling to still find some European citizen defend his ass. not only traitors to Hungary, France, but to the entire continent. In France it was proven several time that right wing and far right parties are directly financed by Kremlin. traitors, all of them.
Preventing refugees from entering Europe is bad because these are human beings who came here for help. Messing up the process of them entering Europe so that they aren't even properly registered is bad because this makes it harder to help them.
I think you missed Adams point
"Ugh Ugh they are humans" Any better reasons? Some good ones perhaps? And not just cheap appeal to emotions?
04:30 we were so lucky to have so many migrants coming through the country who speak hungarian! Amazing!
how is building a wire fence cheaper than just... buying immigrants tickets do they leave? gosh darn i love politicians
vienna here, thank you for this summary. i remember the day the first buses arrived, a few weeks after more than 50 refugees died in acooling truck. Kanzler Kurz, which is a dear friend of orban, is still riding on the refugee wave, he "closed the balkan route" and im not sure if i shall cry or puke.. that train with picture of refugees from ddr.. man.. the world is a fucking meme. anyway, found oyur channel today, watched a bunch of musk bashing videos praising trams, liked it a lot, highways are growing strong in vienna, trams and buses not so much.. cheers to budapest
I see mostly young men, few families and little to no women. Weird.
bro who are you? great work on your vids i hope your channel grows more.
That was a very awesome video! Wish you'd make more on european politics! (not that there's anything wrong with your US related videos - everything is awesome)
This is really interesting, I haven't really heard about this, especially not the links to the Paris Attacks. I have been following Eastern European political descent for some time, as a part-Polish person, so can empathise.
U remember when priest take family, offered flat, food, he even find work for dad (he get same money as regular employee). They run in middle of night to Germany.
Very interesting, I only got the perspective from Germany at the time
I barely got it from Denmark at all, partly because i was 11 and probably because of perspective. Eveyone should see this vid
@Enieme Compte why would white nationalists (kinda silly to call native europeans that. why would wanting to keep your native homeland homogeneous be a bad thing?) be calm and collected as a migrant crisis occurs and they feel like their government isn't doing anything to help them?
@@flyingmonkeys96 Unfortunately many Europeans HAVE been turned into white nationalists by political powers, and I say this as a Hungarian born in Canada. I've been to Hungary multiple times in my life and the political views many people have are really disturbing and straight up medieval. Not to mention that they are typically not founded in truth but in government propaganda. Don't get me wrong, theres NOTHING bad about not wanting a massive influx of illegal immigrants and demanding your government to do something about it, if thats what the people want then the government should work towards making it so, but trying to achieve your goals with violence is not something conservatives or native white europeans do, its something that white nationalists do. The same white nationalists who were upset their government didn't do anything to help them will go and vote those same people in next time.
@@flyingmonkeys96 now u can use imagination and let's have similar situation to this on Canada US border. Cartels in Mexico take power, lots of Mexican go thru "the wall", they are in Arizona now, they are safe, but they're still going north. They are stoped by police in Utah, without any documentation. They are put in shelters, but they escape shelters and go North. They are on border with Canada and North Dakota they wanna go to Canada but they are stoped because they are Registered refugee in Utah, they are now illegal immigrants for Canadian. But if they go thru all country without stopping they can register for refugee status in Canada.
@@flyingmonkeys96 do you actually think most Germans care about keeping Germany homogeneous?
Im not a native English speaker, so please correct me if I'm wrong but there is a significant difference between refugees and migrants.
Indeed, as in every language. Refugees are those escaping disastrous sitations in their countries and illegally entering other countries. When a person enters first safe country on his/her way and get registered there then he/she gets a status of a refugee. But when you enter first safe country, dont get registered there and countinue your travel enetring countries illegally then you are illegal imigrant, like those people, economic illegal imigrant to be more specific.
a Migrant is someone who wants to move from one country to another for a better oppurtunity and better living standards, however refugee is someone escaping war, extreme poverty in a extremly poor country, political prosecution by his goverment or even escaping a Tyrannical dictator.
Fantastic video! I learned so much
Great commentary on an important topic
Orbán: *praises himself as the last defender of Christian Europe* Also Orbán: *ships refugees to Western Europe*
Still Christian
Keeping Europe, European, isnt far right or a bad thing whatsoever. Every other ethnic group and race demands this guilt free. I say this as a mixed race man
@Aditya Chavarkar you're joking right? what's the point of maintaining our entire existence as an ethnic group (which precedes culture and society, if you haven't noticed). We're a beautiful, smart and successful peoples who don't need anyone else and never have. Just because the seperate tribe who run our nations are corrupt, doesn't mean we have to commit r4cial suicide. You're also not european and say this from the stance of someone whos people are many (at their own expense lol) and not under any threat. racial and ethnic differences have been the cause of thousands of conflicts throughout history. Point is, every group should be entitled to their homeland, and live peacefully. I'd argue this for anyone. I am mixed race, before you start calling me the usual slurs.
@@helix5779 Are you ashamed of being mixed? Because why else talk about this
@@helix5779 u need to chill and look into "assimilation" In my house we don't walk in shoes, u need to take of your shoe's. If u don't agree with that u can go elsewhere, where your law is law. But u don't wanna go where Sharia law is law. Also i like how Christianity semi work, if u need help u get help from Catholic, Orthodox, Protestanist if u one of this thing. But in Islamic u don't get help from Wahabi Sunni if u are Shia Islamic.
Nah, you're just racist I say that people's lives and safety from war is more important than keeping your race pure :)
Wonderful video, please stay safe man.
I am Hungarian, and I was a freshman in 2015. I remember I was moving in from my home, to the college, I was on a train, heading to Budapest Keleti, when the train stopped in the outskirts of Budapest. I had to get off the train, I had no idea where I was, I only ever been to the city once before. In the end I took a rather expensive taxi ride to the college.
