    You are mostly right, but when it’s promoting division, I will nit-pick:

    The EU funds have propped up the government, and free movement has let the most frustrated leave the country. I do not lay blame at the feet of Europe, but it is important to see the situation for what it is.

    We are the only ones who can do anything, I agree. I love Europe and feel as much a citizen of Europe as of Hungary (sometimes even more).

    Thank you for your well-wishes. I am a bit sceptic of any real change, even if Tisza gets (super-)majority, but hope is the last to die. I’d say I’ll be happy as soon as we’re part of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. We really crave justice.
