Revolution!

Thursday (21-9) evening, I went out with a few people from the language course, to say goodbye to Adrian, our Hungarian classmate. He is going back home, to Budapest, to join the street protests against the present government.
He told me that most intellectuals in Hungary usually vote for Fidesz, the right-wing party. I assumed that meant liberal, but, surprisingly, it is the conservative party. It turned out that Fidesz is simply the least corrupt big party, and that its conservatism looks much like the liberal socialism of, for example, GroenLinks in the Netherlands. We didn't get into details, but I got the impression that had he been Dutch, Adrian would have voted GL, or something similar. Interesting world, politics ;).
