  1. Same issue for all the countries all the time. Extreme socialism = Poverty/corruption and capitalism=inequality. Why not negotiation in a democratic system? But the government should be smart enough to manage it!

  2. Maybe you should check facts first before posting this crap. "The enormous protests" with no more than 15000 at any time, usually with about 3000 people attending. That Hungarian guy probably knows or just plain stupid not knowing that the workers are paid monthly, not in 3 years for the overtime. Just check the law. The Orban goverment is a bunch of cunts though. But these protects are just ridiculous. Like your video. You should change "the real news" name to sth that's more fitting.

  3. Down with the Global elites world wide!' Where we go one we go all! Qanon on you tube. Take down of elites is starting!

  4. The law sets in 400 the maximum of overtime a worker can do per year voluntarily. The report is fake news. Workers are not protesting, actually the approval of the gov is 7% higher than on April when last national elections took place

  5. The globalized Big Banksters are rolling out a program of re-enslavement. Our politicians are either complicit or stupider the allowed by law! All support to the Hungarians.

  6. Workers of the world unite. Let us not blame workers in other countries for troubles att home. we have a common enemy, the international corporatist class.

  7. How do you say "Yellow Vest" in Hungarian? Or "Globalisation"? How do you say: "Far-right nationalist policies are ALWAYS neo-con policies."? Or: "Hungarians are no "Slavic" people, but they may very well be "slaves" to the neo-con policies of their corrupt far-right ultra-nationalist leaders."?

  8. Forcing people to work longer hours is only going to lower productivity so it is against the interests of the capitalists in the long run.
    Most folks feel burnt out doing a typical 40 hour week and studies have shown doing 4 day weeks leads to greater productivity.

  9. Quit the job…. and no one shoud work again if they get 4 day week job or people do something that better themselves and the community. Than work to make other people powerful for doing the job needed thats required to put them in a position of power. And they can be use it against the people.

    People can make a new govt…. government needs poeple not bosses lol

  10. Dissident media suffocated? Same thing in France as in Hungary, same thing here in Finland, same thing in YouTube & Patreon, same thing freaking everywhere. If you are not with the establishment, you can't have visibility.

  11. It's interesting to see how the oligarchs who control Hungary are emulating the actions of the oligarchs that have consolidated and now have a tight control over the media in the US. The US is again leading the World but sadly in the wrong direction; it is leading the World down the path to fascism. The question I have is why don't we see people rebelling in the US? We see the French rebelling against the Neoliberal tax wealth transfer from the elites to the middle class and their Rothschild president; we see the Hungarians pushing back against the Neoliberal serfdom labor policies, so where are the US workers that have been screwed longer and harder than most? Ah, the illusion of freedom and democracy; it sure works wonders when you need to control those who are deluded into believing they are free and control their own destiny.

  12. There is so much left wing rhetoric,…including by the guy who says he is REAL News… that it is really difficult to see what REALLY is going on.
    This channel fails in delivering REAL News. More propaganda crap.

  13. Sooner or later no one will even have jobs,AI will take over soon. At least 14 year old children do not have to work 10 to 12 hours a day 5 days a week and half day on Sat. like when my HU husband was a child. From our understanding it is not required to work overtime it is just an option for those who chose to make more money. In the old times people were "asked" when they arrived to their jobs to give their entire days wages to the N. Vietnam to support their war… Now that was no choice at all.

  14. IDEOLOGY WAS MURDERED WHILE GREEDY CAPITALISM REPLACED DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS AND FOR EVERY ACTION THERE WILL BE A REACTION.
    WORKING CLASS STOP BURYING YOUR HEADS IN THE SAND IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU.
