Ungarischer Fidesz-YouTuber vergisst, das Mikrofon stumm zu schalten: „Es spielt nicht einmal mehr eine Rolle“

# Context

It is March 15th, Hungarian Independence Day. Both Fidesz (currently governing party with Orbán) and TISZA (biggest opposition party according to studies with Péter Magyar) have organised marches in Budapest, and multiple TV and YouTube channels are live streaming them, including „Patriot“, a YouTube channel supporting Fidesz.

# Translated article

At the beginning of the live stream by Patriot, microphones were not muted and as such, early birds at the stream could hear the following conversation:

Speaker 1, female (Zsuzsanna György-Horváth): Alright, okay.
Speaker 2, male (Dániel Deák): Until election day, until its night, we’ll be constantly saying, „go and vote“…
Speaker 3, male (Gábor Szűcs): But we’ll be saying this all day.
Speaker 2, male (Dániel Deák): Even though there’s no use, but who cares…
Speaker 4, male (studio staff): We can hear everything.
Speaker 1, female (Zsuzsanna György-Horváth): Jesus.

Six minutes after the countdown Zsuzsa György-Horváth and Máté Gerhardt can be seen in Patriot’s studio. After live reports from the scene, Dániel Deák, the lead analyst of XXI. Század Institution and Gábor Szűcs, Alapjogokért Központ’s analyst are speakingl.

Regarding what this dialogue was referring to specifically, we asked Dániel Deák on phone, who was then at the scene of Békemenet (Peace March: Orbán’s event). He said he doesn’t remember what the context was, since the show was an hour long. After we read the conversation out loud, he stated he thinks the context was „those who have already decided to vote, will go vote anyway, but even then, mobilization is very important, of course“.

No use because they expect to Orbán and Fidesz to lose or because there is no point to vote because the election will be manipulated to ensure the winner is Orbán?
