What are people fed up with? The lies
In his speech, János Áder highlighted the economic and social collapse of the 1950s, emphasizing the 1951 rationing system and the plight of 800,000 peasants without bread or seeds in 1952. He noted the increase of the ÁVH's personnel to 80,000 to maintain the dictatorship, employing 40,000 informants and monitoring nearly 1.3 million citizens. Between 1950 and 1953, investigations were conducted against two million people, resulting in one million convictions and approximately 500 executions. Áder illustrated the operation of show trials with a confidential report from 1950, where a court president guaranteed a death sentence before the trial. He recalled the persecution of churches, censorship, and the banning of civil organizations, quoting Gyula Illyés's poem about tyranny. He concluded that the people's discontent stemmed from lies.
