At their 15 March press conference, LMP's co-presidents said the heroes of 1848 give an example to follow in times like these when Hungary's liberty and independence are under threat once again.
Lóránt László Keresztes said Hungarians cannot withstand the influence of foreign powers, and they can no longer take that their liberties are being trampled upon.
The policies of a traitor government that disguised itself as nationalistic are leading to stronger foreign influence - especially Russian influence.
He reminded journalists that the 1848 revolution gave rise to Hungary's first national government, responsible only to the nation and not to any foreign powers. He said today's goals cannot be any less than that: creating a national government that actually serves the interests of the Hungarian people.
Márta Demeter said that the 12 demands of the 1848 revolution are still worth fighting for, because freedom of the press and equality before the law are still under attack, the National Bank is not independent, and the Parliament does not represent national interest. She stated that Hungary's security and sovereignty have to be created once again, and the "thiefs robbing and betraying the nation" have to be removed from power. She added that these days Hungarians have to fight against "autocracy, obvious betrayal, the burning up of Hungary's future, and stupidity."
