Chapter 61: Hungary (for tickets) (2/2)

However, when encountering a group of idealist + bourgeois interest group spokespersons, the two sides obviously could not reach an agreement.

If the Vienna government dared to accept their terms, it would be Austrians' revolution.

Equal rights are not equal to privileges. Franz can give all nations equal status, but he can never let the Hungarian people prevail over them.

This relates to the national conditions of the Kingdom of Hungary. There are more than 13 million people in the country, of which there are more than 500,000 nobles. It can be said that the nobles are flying all over the sky.

Hungarian capitalists have another identity-aristocracy, so the relationship between Hungarian capitalists and aristocrats is very complicated. This less than 2% of the population occupies more than 95% of society's wealth.

The Hungarian nation in this period actually refers to the more than 500,000 aristocrats and capitalists who have many privileges and are the true exploiting class in this country.

To a certain extent, Austria is not a true autocratic empire, but an alliance of big nobles. The central government's control of the locality is achieved by the nobles' will.

The Hungarian nationalist movement that is now erupting is actually the main force of small and medium nobles and capitalists. They combine the concept of the state with their own interests and put on a layer of nationalist aura when competing for interests.

This is why the Hungarian government headed by Kosut, while shouting for reform, refused to implement the Vienna government reform bill.

Even if everyone agreed to abolish serfdom, it was not enforced in Hungary, and the nobles concealed the Vienna government's abolition of slavery.

Well, this responsibility cannot be counted on Kosut. After all, his leader is like the Artillery Party, but a product of everyone's compromise, not by virtue of superiority.

This can be seen from the Hungarian election on April 12, 1848. Although the mouth declared that the popular elections are to be opened, in fact, this Hungarian presidential election is still only in Budapest.

Only 162,000 people have the right to vote in Budapest. According to the ”Hungarian people” at that time, it can be regarded as a universal suffrage system.

The final result was that a total of 5,176 votes were received. Kossuth was elected with a high result of 1,639 votes. Of course, the results announced to the public are certainly not this number.

Judging from these figures, Franz's butterfly effect still plays a role, and more people choose to sit on the sidelines than in history.

”Nagi, send someone out of the country immediately, we in Hungary don't welcome them!” Kosut said grimly.

As a compromised president, there are too many people in the Kingdom of Hungary who do not buy his account, and even in the minds of many people, this Hungarian Republic is a joke, knowing from everyone's indifference to the election.

Kosut's anger was not without reason. The Hungarian Republic was established, but Ferdinand I still served as the Kingdom of Hungary.

Without a king, there is no aristocracy. For their own benefit, the Hungarian nobles insisted on opposing the abolition of the king, forced by the situation Kossuth was compelled to compromise, and now there is a king under his presidency, which greatly reduces his rights.
