"For a long time now, we've seen public discourse becoming increasingly aggressive,"
"Politicians are constantly painting someone as the enemy, dehumanizing groups, and flooding the public realm with propagandistic messages which are funded by the taxpayer."
""Air! Stand up for free public spaces and clean public discourse.""
""the neurotoxin of propaganda""
A police chief in Hodmezovasarhely died by suicide after personal attacks in a pro-government newspaper following his permission of a rally critical of Fidesz. Attackers exhorted people to take violent action at the event, though the link between the hostility and the death is unclear. Gabor Polyak said public discourse is increasingly aggressive, with politicians dehumanizing groups and flooding public spaces with taxpayer-funded propaganda. Around 50,000 people joined a Loupe Theater-organized Budapest demonstration demanding clean public spaces, a ban on political advertising, and opposition to hate speech. Performers, including Edina Pottyondy, warned that government posters have incited hatred against refugees and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling propaganda a 'neurotoxin'.
