📸On the video Barbara Hegedűs and Hollik are clearly recognizable.
They walked through among the protesters when we met. We shook hands, I asked if they are here as observes, we had a short chat then they quickly changed direction and left me without saying bye or anything.

For my big surprise yesterday on the 310th continuous protest day in Georgia on Rustaveli Ave I bumped into PM Orbán’s party members, MP István Hollik, MEP András László, MP Barbara Hegedűs and MP Katalin Csöbör who are here as election observers.

Hello everyone, my recovery is still ongoing, which makes everyday life difficult and working too, as I'm basically one handed. Regardless, I'm doing my best and I'm here if anyone needs my journalistic work and local knowledge, let it be about Georgia or Hungary!

The actors said they made their decision to step up after the regime circles started to make banners and advertising videos of showing together 🇺🇦 President Zelensky and 🇭🇺 opposition leader MEP Péter Magyar as “the Hungarian Zelensky, they are like two eggs”.
