Péter Jakab, the former leader of the opposition Jobbik party, is leaving the party and its parliamentary group and will sit in parliament as an independent.
Jakab wrote on Facebook on Thursday that Jobbik leader Márton Gyöngyösi had given him an ultimatum to fall in line or leave the party.
“If I stand by the people and continue to stand by those who lost out on the Orbán regime … then I have no place in Jobbik … The choice is clear,” he wrote.
Jakab first won a seat in parliament in 2018, and was elected as Jobbik’s group leader in 2019. He was elected party leader in 2020 and re-elected in May 2022, but resigned a month later, citing differences with the party leadership. Gyöngyösi was elected to replace him on July 2.

Who said a lepord doesn’t change its spots 😀
Ooops! *leopArd* (typo, but still blushing)
9.6 Million Hungarians – continue, with their Economy “collapsing” – in ALL the core componentry of its Balance Sheet – behaving in some-what a MESMERIZED behavioural manner.
Peter Jakab – applaud him, going “out on a limb” – exhibiting – that he is not MESMERIZED – by the “spell” – the Political ideas & philosophy inflicted on-going to the citizens of Hungary – by this DICTATORIAL led Government, under the Fidesz Party leader and present Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban.
Peter Jakab – and this is a MAJOR problem – through the Ownership & Control of PRESS in Hungary – by the OLIGARCH – the “inner sanctum” of the Fidesz Party & Government of Hungary under Victor Orban – to EXPLODE his message throughout Hungary – the perilous & wrong paths, this present Government, under Victor Orban – is dictating its citizens to follow and the “Blackening” hole of ruination/wreckage – we as a country Hungary are heading.
Peter Jakab – needs SUPPORT.
Solidarity – the unity & agreement of feeling or action, especially among INDIVIDUALS – with a COMMON interest.
Solidarity – must be ENVELOPED – in mutual respect & support and under-standing – of the SOLIDARITY – group.
Solidarity – the MESSAGE – the Power of the Message – that by the use of Citizens/Groups – ORDERLY – under a country, that “claims” in Hungarys case – to be a Democracy – is a POWERFUL citizen/Group “message” delivery processor.
ORDERLY – because Hungary – its present Government led by Prime Minister – Victor Orban – are an AGGRESSIVE – led Government on its Civilians, that eexpands in word translation, to factually being – DICTATORIAL – in the agenda & style, the role Government “dominate” in the running & conducting of Hungary.
Peter Jakab – if HE could – thats the PROBLEM – explode out their by use of ALL media and “other” forms of modern 21st century COMMUNICATION – a (10) ten point paper – just one liners – on an A4 sheet size paper – that “zone in” & capture – the WRONGFULLNESS – of the practices & path – Hungary is being “driven” to-wards, by the Victor Orban “dictatorial” government.
EXPLODE – the MESSAGE.
This is the PROBLEM – exploding & getting SPREAD the FACTUAL Truth – what is happening – at the “coal face” – day to day life – for the citizens of Hungary – from whatever “Station in Life” they come from.
“The sole and basic source of our strength is the Solidarity – of our workers, peasants and the intelligensia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people – who seek to live in dignity, in truth and in harmony – with their Conscience”.
“He who once became aware of the POWER of Solidarity – and who Breathed the Air of Freedom – will not be Crushed”.
“We hold our Heads high, despite the price we have paid, because FREEDOM – is PRICELESS “.
Quotes of Lech Walesa.
Freedom – in the Core of Democracy – is a RIGHT given granted to CITIZENS – the power & right to act, speak or THINK – as one WANTS.
WHAT – does Hungary want ???
