During the fight about the referendum, one of the reformists' points was that the referendum questions are on a budgetary issue (something barred from referendums). But the Constitutional Court ruled against.

However, immediately after polls closed, the PM held an unscheduled press conference, declaring that the government will introduce draft laws re-instating the pre-reform status quo ante, but won't be able, nor intend to find other sources of money for hospitals, doctors and universities.

Hundreds of 'spontaneous' protesters gathering at the Parliament, with the usual composition: many skinheads and retired fools.

A government politician again forgot to keep his mouth shut in the gaze of right-wing media.

HírTV taped two leaders of (neo)liberal SzDSz while they watched the PM's speech. The PM was using the following rhetoric: "All that happened today is that people said, 'if one doesn't have to pay 300 Ft [c. €1.2, the visitation charge], then we would like to not pay 300 Ft." Then one of the SzDSz guys remarked to the other: "That's not what they said, Feri [PMs nickname], they said you to fuck yourself!"...

(To wit: this is certainly what motivated many if not most on the Right, but also comes handy for reformist self-delusions about lack of real popular rejection.)
