Fighting hatred with humour in Hungary | Witness Documentary

Suzi Dada is a deputy mayor in Budapest and co-founder of the satirical political party, the Two-Tailed Dog – Hungary’s most popular political group on Facebook.

But not everybody finds them funny. Suzi frequently battles ridicule in the press, harassment from ultra-nationalists and police for her work, and a slow bureaucratic political system.

When Suzi is tipped off that a local authority is illegally dumping rubbish in an impoverished Roma village, she knows it is a job for her Two-Tailed Dogs, and they begin work on their latest political art stunt.

I already like them, but this documentary actually made me reconsider, and I'd actually vote for them in the upcoming election. Nice work, kutyik!

very interesting to see how young folks adapt the status quo and still try to fight it with humor.

I only recently discoveted this about Hungary but didn't realise it was this bad. It's like the USA and other places around the world but I didn't know it was in so many corners of the world.

I blame social media, the non tech savvy can get fooled by the algorithm, it's powerful. However I don't think the algorithm itself is to blame, as in the USA Russia was behind the manipulation, just start the ball rolling and the algorithm does the heavy lifting.

I didn't stop to think they were doing this other than a few countries but now it's starting to make sense.

Social media has a lot to answer for and so do the Russians.
