Egyptian Shopkeeper Amuses Hungarian Tourists by Impersonating Famous Oligarch

Hurghada, Egypt – A recent video circulating online has captured a humorous exchange between an Egyptian shopkeeper in Hurghada and Hungarian tourists, shedding light on the unexpected global reach of Hungarian public figures. The shopkeeper, known for his friendly demeanor towards visitors, greeted the tourists with phrases in Hungarian, including "Szeretlek Magyar!" (I love Hungarian!) and "Hogy vagy?" (How are you?). The interaction took a comical turn when the tourists inquired about his name. With a wide smile, the shopkeeper declared, "Mészáros Lőrincz," a name instantly recognizable to Hungarians as one of the country's wealthiest and most controversial oligarchs. The unexpected response was met with laughter from the tourists. He then playfully clarified, "Lölő," a common nickname for Mészáros, before concluding the interaction with a cheerful "You look!" The video, uploaded by user szepi04, quickly garnered significant attention, particularly within the Hungarian online community. Comments reflect a mix of amusement and a sense of shared experience, with many noting similar encounters abroad where Hungarian political or economic figures are unexpectedly mentioned. One commenter remarked, "The whole world is laughing at us!" while another shared, "In July in Frankfurt, an Arab taxi driver asked where we came from... to our answer he reacted: 'aa, Orbán diktatura' 😳🙄." The incident highlights how cultural references and political figures can transcend borders, becoming part of international, albeit informal, discourse.
