Former PM Gyurcsány: ‘We will sweep current regime from power’
Ferenc Gyurcsany, the leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), vowed on behalf of the allied opposition “to sweep from power” the currently ruling “robbers and traitors of the nation” at next spring’s general election and to fight “the current regime’s ambition to drive Hungary out of the EU”, at the party’s 11th congress in Budapest on Sunday.
The event also opened the allied opposition parties’ pre-election campaign for a joint prime ministerial candidate for the 2022 parliamentary election and was attended by DK’s 60 candidates for next year’s ballot.
“Our opponents are neither in Berlin, or in Paris or Madrid, nor in Lisbon [..]. Our opponents are residing up in the Carmelite Monastery, .whom we are going to oust from power” next year, Gyurcsány told the congress, referring to the office of the prime minister in Buda Castle.
Gyurcsány, Socialist prime minister before 2010, said that over the past ten years, the opposition “has become the hope of the homeland”.
“The opposition parties have understood that they must work together”, he said, adding that “from next spring on the country’s future will be in good hands”.
“I want that we feel home here, in Hungary, and also that we feel home in Europe,” he said, adding that achieving this goal will be the opposition’s task.
The change of government at the elections will have to be followed by a change of regime, which will be spearheaded by Klára Dobrev, DK’s candidate for prime minister, Gyurcsány said.
Addressing the congress, Dobrev said that besides government change, Hungary’s future in the EU will also be at stake, with “a Huxit looming on the horizon”.
The aim was to defeat Orbán and to govern afterwards so a similar system cannot be rebuilt again, she said.
She said the main tasks over the next eight months included concluding the opposition’s prime ministerial pre-election process, to be followed by building a strong, solidarity-based alliance among the opposition parties during the election campaign for next spring’s ballot. Dobrev called it a further task to form a new “government of the republic” by the end of this year and to work out a government programme. She said the fourth task was to start talks without delay with Hungary’s European and American partners in an effort to take Hungary back to western Europe.
“Change is inevitable,” Klára Dobrev said.

Is Gyurcsány getting senile like Biden? -:)
Some Hungarians have very short memories. Ferenc Gyurcsany, ruined the country’s economy. There was high unemployment. Voting for Ferenc Gyurcsany is tantamount to voting for Biden. One failure after another.
This socialist wants to surrender Hungary’s sovereignty to Brussels, Hungary will no longer be an independent country but a colony of western EU.
Me thinks he may have indulged in too much cannabis. He is delusional. No one wants another socialist regime. here in Hungary,
????????
You got more chance of telling the truth.
Leftist lying commie .
Why would any sane Hungarian who knows about the background of Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang vote for these people? Why would any sane Hungarian vote for his/her enemies? I always voted Jobbik but Fidesz gets my vote this time.
The – BIG 6 – the “allied opposition” – searching for a – United Ticket and Agenda – Cohesion of Policies – to mount a challenge to Fidesz – letting Ferenc Gyurcsany “off the leash” the – WRONG – Disastrously WRONG – political strategy – in your attempt to win power in May 2022.
Ferenc Gyurcsany – time has past him by.
Gyurcsany – the “luggage” and “scares” – he carries must not be Forgotten.
Gyurcsany – had his OPPORTUNITY – yes at a time dominated by a global financial crisis – but he FAILED – in the office as the then Prime Minister of Hungary – to “ease the pain”.
Gyurcsany – instead under his position as Prime minister and his Government at the time – sent Hungary “spiralling ” – into a MASSIVE – Economic, Financial Un-Employment – abyss.
Gyurcsany – is not the Generational Change of Politician – that will have the APPEAL – to the “moving on” or – FUTURE thinking – younger generation of Hungarians – that Captures there Vote – Respect and Support.
Gyurcsany – “the old guard” – born 1961 deeply “rooted” – in his Ideas and Political Philosophy – from those “darkened” times – through to 1989 – in the History of Hungary – who has missed the Generational Changes – the landscape of Political Changes – in Europe and Globally – that continue to Evolve in Hungary – the – FUTURE.
History – what it TEACHES us.
Oliver Cromwell – forcible ejecting the remaining members of The Long Parliament in1653 – I say to Ferenc Gyurcsany :
“You have sat to Long here for any good you have been doing,
Depart, I say, and let us have Done with you.
In the name of God – Go”.
Gyurcsany – is NOT the FACE – the draw card to – CHALLENGE – the present Government of Hungary.
Gyurcsany – this “Pedistal” that he appears to occupy – the front man or “fall guy ” for – The BIG 6 – is it Healthy & Right – in the efforts to “roll’ the present Fidesz led Government of Hungary ?
Answer – unequivocally – it is – WRONG.
Gyurcsany – the longer – The BIG 6 – tick off – appear in support of this “pantomine show” being presented by Gyurcsany – the further “down the line” they are heading – in ANY chance – they may or may not have – in “rolling” the present Fidesz led Government of Hungary.
Who will put there – Hand up – be the – NEW Breed Politician with “in touch” modern day Hungary – Political Ideas and the Fundamentals required and needed for the Future of Hungary ///
Who is it to BE – that is – SEEN and Accepted – Respected – Supported – unilaterally – the SERIOUS – be taken Seriously as a Challenger – to the present Government of Hungary ???
That’s the MAJOR question – that – The BIG 6 – have to ANSWER.
Get it WRONG – like allowing Gyurcsany – to “open his mouth’ as he is – that is a Mass NEGATIVE in the attempts to claim victory – and Fidesz – will win the May National Elections – in a Landslide.
Hungary – modern moving forward Hungary – who will be our – to re-enact – the Camelot Show – of Washington DC – for “better or for worse” – that occurred in the 1960’s ???
Message – age does give us Wisdom – and in that Wisdom – Ferenc Gyurcsany – the Message of Wisom to you is – Stand aside and away from the Political Landscape of Hungary – your time has Expired.
Some Hungarians have a very short memory, When Communist Socialism ruled the country, people risked their lives to flee to the west and they owned nothing. The state owned everything including your life. That is where the USA is edging right now, take everything from those work and give it to people who prefer to live on the governments welfare system at the expense of hard working citizens.
