Orbán says country "trapped" by minority government
Hungary is trapped because it is governed by a minority government, Fidesz chairman Viktor Orbán told reporters on Thursday.
"It is not the law but the cabinet and the police who are to blame for the fact that the government does not enforce the Constitution and the laws," he declared.
Orbán described Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány's talks with the nation’s other top officials and the stance taken by them as a "communications bubble." Instead, he continued, Hungary needs to see the government protecting law-abiding citizens.
The state should safeguard anyone who needs protection because of their origin, political views, or lifestyle, he said.
However, Orbán asked for a little time for Fidesz to decide whether to take part in cross-party talks aimed at renewing the act on assembly.

So, Mr. Orbán - what are you going to DO? Are you going
to DO anything? More time? For what? More time to
spend shuffling around staring at your shoes mumbling that
'nothing can be done" and "we just have to bear it" like all the rest
of the miserable, spineless, beaten dog Hungarians? Useless twat.
Isn't the purpose of a leader to LEAD?
Orbán Viktor wakes up one morning and hears a commotion
outside. He opens the window and sees thousands of people in the
street, and says "I must find out where my people are going so I
can lead them".
Blah blah blah, Orban Viktor, blah blah blah...
quatermass - What do YOU propose Viktor should do then? Except wait for the next election, of course.
WHO will lead these "the miserable, spineless, beaten dog Hungarians" (your post)? Vona Gabor or Csurka Istvan?
