Slow speech
The speech of the Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány , which he gave on May 26, 2006 in Balatonőszöd to the MPs of the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) he led, became known as the Őszöder speech . In it, he admitted not only that he and his close confidants had consistently lied to the public for years in order to win the 2006 parliamentary elections , but also that the entire social - liberal government would now have great difficulty in keeping all this secret (quote from the speech: " We kept the secret so well that we knew, and you also knew it: when the election victory has come, you have to watch very carefully that we have never had such problems ." - ung .: Úgy őriztük a titkot, hogy miközben tudtuk és ti is tudtátok, hogyha el fog jönni a választási győzelem, utána nagyon neki kell állni, hogy soha ilyenproblemémánk nem volt. ). In addition, when describing the failure of his own politics, he used hearty expressions such as “ we fucked it up ” (ung .: elkúrtuk ) and repeatedly dubbed Hungary disparagingly as “ dirty whore country ” (ung .: kurva ország ). In addition to the explosive content, it was not least this rude choice of words that aroused anger and indignation in large parts of the population after the speech became known.
The meeting was supposed to be non-public and confidential (for the said reasons), but under circumstances that have not yet been clarified, the speech was recorded and broadcast on the radio station Magyar Rádió on September 17, 2006, before the local elections .
