Péter Márki-Zay, the one time joint opposition candidate for prime minister, has announced a new opposition party, Everyone’s Hungary People’s Party (Mindenki Magyarországa Néppárt).
The new party “is in opposition to the system, not part of it”, Márki-Zay told a press conference held in front of Parliament on Saturday. “What’s now needed is not an opposition but resistance,” he declared at the event streamed on his YouTube channel. He said the “system” of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán could not be overturned in an election, so action must be taken to change the rules. Márki-Zay pledged to take a stand for “persecuted social groups” such as teachers, students, health and law enforcement workers.
Also, a “change in culture” was needed, he said, adding that Hungary was “poor due to corruption”, and that Hungarians were emigrating because of endemic graft. What distinguishes the new party from the others, he said, was that they exclusively functioned on the back of donations and eschewed state funding. Márki-Zay added that Everyone for Hungary People’s Party, an offshoot of the Everyone’s Hungary Movement, would strive to join the European People’s Party over the longer term.
The new party will not participate in the local elections but it will do so in the European Parliament elections, he said. Another founder, Tibor Barna, called the new party “Western”, though it would stand up for Hungarian national interests and values while being “open-thinking” and taking “a 21st-century approach”.

LOL! These globalist-socialist grifters keep getting a bloody nose at the polls but, instead of asking themselves if perhaps their globalist, open-border, high-tax, big-government, woke, green policies might be the problem, they just rebrand themselves and run again on the same platform. And when they get pummeled fair and square yet again, they call for bypassing the democratic process altogether. Pathetic.
Hungary – the number of OPPOSITION Party’s just ABSOLUTLEY smothers any chance of a STRONG and VIBRANT a HEALTHY opposition to the Orban Government.
Through the number of OPPOSITION Party’s – they literally FALL over each other, that cripples any chance of them having an IMPACT in the outing of the Orban Government.
There will NEVER be as long as this WRONGFUL number of opposition Party’s exist in the Political scene in Hungary any form of SOLIDARITY.
Numbers of opposition Party’s just pull destroy each other apart, bearing no FRUITFULLNESS or Goodness – not having any chance that they the opposition will be an EFFECTIVE opposition in the Hungarian Political environment.
The opposition Political scene in Hungary remains in CHAOS.
This CHAOS – the destructive path Orban and His Government have been ALLOWED to take Hungary down, that leaves us in this present time, in Financial Ruination, the OPPOSTION party’s have FEED this path of Orban – due to the numbers of Party’s that are just a SHAM, totally an embarrassment – no profile no policies no leadership and no visions for the FUTURE the RIGHTFUL direction under DEMOCRACY – that is the ONLY way we as a country FACTUALLY can survive, that MUST see us remain a Member of the European Union.
CULL for the Future of Hungary, the “dead wood” non effective opposition party’s – a process that won’t HAPPEN in the foreseeable future but it must HAPPEN if we want to survive as a country – a Democratic country, and a member of the European Union.
In obtaining SOLIDARITY the task is simplified if opposition numbers of party’s are CULLED.
This point in time as a country our future looking BLEAK, our country in a cataclysmic DISARRAY, not helped by the CHAOS of opposition party’s – the number that we will NEVER see SOLIDARITY.
Marki Zay should return to his old career peddling vaccuum cleaner in Canada He is a joke as a candidate and his selection made it easy for the Hungarian electorate to return Orban and Fidesz for another term with an even larger majority.
