Orbán's Hungary has statue and square commemorating Zionism founder Theodore Herzl (erected 2018) near Budapest Chabad centre

Tivadar Herzl was a Jewish Austrian-Hungarian journalist, writer and political activist who became known as the father of modern Zionism.

Today you’ll find a tiny sculpture of Herzl with his bike (most likely inspired by a photo taken of Herzl with his bike in Austria) appropriately placed near the iconic Dohány Street Synagogue in the 7th district. On Dohány Street, not too far from his miniature likeness, you’ll find his birth site, which is now the Jewish Museum.

Theodor Herzl Square in front of the Great Synagogue on Dohany Street in Budapest was renamed October 7 Square for two weeks, Daily News Hungary reports . Thus, the city administration and Jewish communities decided to express support for Israel and honor the memory of the victims of the attack by Hamas terrorists.
