Klára Dobrev, a leading figure of the opposition Democratic Coalition, told party faithful on Friday that the task ahead of the party and its voters was to “take back the state”.
“The state belongs to us ten million Hungarian citizens,” Dobrev, a party MEP, said at the first event in a series organised by DK’s “shadow government”.
She said the task was not just to change the government but “replace [Prime Minister Viktor] Orban’s system and the regime he has built over 13 years”.
The state, she added, must be reorganised along social democratic lines and it must be able to “take care of us all”.
The economy should produce growth for the many, not the few, and the country should “think about tomorrow and the day after that, not just today,” she said.
Dobrev said the state must be held accountable and provide high-quality services across the board, MTI wrote.
She said the Fidesz government had deliberately pursued a policy of allowing public health care to deteriorate in the hope this would stoke demand for private health care, and she called for reform of the financing and structure of the sector.

DK: Hungarian state collapsed
The DK politician also said Hungarian education had “collapsed” and spending would have to exceed the European average to catch up, and she vowed that a DK government would make free and high-quality education a constitutional right.
She said Hungary had returned to a state of poverty affecting millions, but it had a duty to help those who needed it most.
On the subject of culture policy, Dobrev promised to be hands-off, to provide support, and make it accessible to everyone. Here are some photos:
She said people did not exist for the economy but vice-versa. Wages of workers are not just an expense but the foundations of an independent life worthy of a human being, she added.
A DK government would introduce a European minimum wage agreement and always be on the side of workers, she said.
It would also make a decent pension a constitutional right, based on a mixed-index calculation for payment rises, she said
She said climate change was already a fact of life and would affect all areas of it, but the green transition must be implemented fairly.
Dobrev said Europe was moving towards a much stronger, closer alliance — a United States of Europe — and it was in Hungary’s interest not to be an outsider but to be part of its core.

In other words, they want to “take back” the country that “belongs to us ten million Hungarian citizens” in order to give it away to the globalist-socialist cabal demanding “open borders,” high taxes, destruction of the living standard through an implementation of aggressive “green” agenda, destruction of the family and religion (only Christian though!), homo-this and trans-that, and so forth and so on. That’s a big NOPE from me!
The name Gyurcsany – as long as this name, that STILL sends shivers, up the spinal cord, of MILLIONS of Hungarians, who have long memories, the longer his name, is at the forefront, to resurrect the MESS as a country we presently are in, the OPPOSITION to Orban / Fidesz – rightly would be LAUGHING.
Gyurcsany – is not the FUTURE of Hungary.
Gyurcsany – carries to much luggage – scared and tarnished, voted out of office, as a Prime Minister, that saw us as a country, in a position, that resembled a RUBBLE, especially Economically & Financially.
Gyurcsany – will not APPEAL nor ATTRACT interest from the young – the youthful voters of Hungary – who are the FUTURE of Hungary.
The “clogged” to many ineffective OPPOSITION Political Party’s in Hungary, falling over each other, destroying each other, destroying any FACTUAL chance, of bringing Orban – and his Government down.
The inability of the Political Opposition Party’s – “clogged” in number of “dead wood” Party’s – that have No policy’s just obstacles, a hindrance – to the what should be in effect, a positive OPPOSTION agenda, one that has FOCUS on combining finding a common platform of policy, driven by agreement, and will act in SOLIDARITY – to even THINK – this could occur / eventuate HAPPEN – in the Hungarian Political arena, is ridiculous and idiotic, thought application process.
Gyurcsany – remains the MAJOR stumbling block, for any chance that may come about or occur, in mounting of an EFFECTIVE, with Solidarity challenge – the OPPOSTION – to the Orban led Government of Hungary.
Gyurcsany – “sleepless” nights in the millions still HAUNT millions of Hungarians.
He is NOT our Future, but should be put to pasture and become a ghost of the past – History.
