Keep calm and do the job NOW! - stage, backstage and background of recent Hungarian protests

Some foreign media compares Hungary to Ukraine, while Hungarian media criticize the skills and performance and often the objectives of the speakers and organizers of last months protests.  Main speaker, Zsolt Várady retreats behind the desktop to dos his job. So will the New Year bring New Hungary,  like last Friday speakers in front of the Opera wish? 


The main objective of the new social initiative MostMI (NOW WE) is, to explore the real issues of Hungarian society and propose real, long term solutions, redefining the role of politics and building up a new country, another Hungary.
The recent proposals on internet tax, or on the prohibition of Sunday shopping, renamed “prohibition of work on Sundays”, the idea of a mandatory drug test for teenage students, hurt especially the citizen privacy, daily lifestyle and family life and suppose that Hungarians were unable to develop own reflections and bring responsible decisions. Are they?



Keep calm and do the job! -Várady retreats
One of the main figures of recent demonstration is Zsolt Várady, and first speaker of last Friday evening is the founder of the discontinued Hungarian social networking site iWiW. He started a fight for the improvement of taxing morale in Hungary. October the 10th, he sued all Hungarian parties that ever got in Parliament since the change of regime in Hungary in 1990, accusing them by having established a system of taxation where “it is impossible to run a business without becoming a tax avoider and tax cheater” and starting a business equals a suicide. 
He is also co-founder of the social initiative MostMi organizing today’s demonstration in front of the beautiful neo-renaissance building of The Hungarian State Opera House.
This Sunday, however, he announced on his facebook page that due to time constraints he stops being an organizer of MostMi events and limits his supporting activity to the construction of the new social media website that is aimed to galvanize civil self-organization. 
He emphasize that his decision is not a result of the  the critics and has not been made on political pressure.
