DK ‘smelling graft’ concerning govt donating Chinese vaccine to other countries

The government’s donating large amounts of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine it had purchased for a higher price than other vaccine types “smells with graft”, a board member of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) said on Monday.

Citing press reports, Olga Kálmán told a press conference that so far the government had given away 400,000 doses of Sinopharm for free, adding that a total 7 million doses had been reserved for Hungary.

Kálmán said that together with other vaccine types, the government had “gifted away” vaccines worth a total 4.5 billion forints (EUR 12.9m), while “the vaccination drive in Hungary has practically come to a halt”.

Why is the government “getting rid” of the Chinese vaccine “if it is as effective and reliable as they earlier claimed”, she asked.

Kálmán suggested that government circles were “benefitting from the pandemic” and accumulating their gains “on secret bank accounts”, and pledged that a new government led by her party would investigate those dealings.

    The only thing DK is smelling is feet, excuse me, the smell of another stinging defeat in the upcoming 2022 election. DK offers nothing but ideas that displace Hungarian Sovereignty to Brussels. Open the Hungarian Borders to migrants that will never be productive members of society and invite moral depravity from the LGBTQ crowd. No thanks
    DK’s complaints are only thing they offer. If you cannot stand on your own merits just attack your opponents.

    DK – need a MASSIVE injection of New Ideas – 21st Century – Application of Brain Power – Thinking and Re-Shaping – the Political Ideas & Philosophy – that they are PURSUING.
    DK – continues to display a Political Party – lost – running tired old and Failed agendas – coming from a Political Base – a Manifesto – that may have been viewed with a degree of acceptance in Hungary – between the years 1945-1989 – but not in 2021 and into the FUTURE.
    The platform – AGAIN – being spread out – LANDSCAPED – to the citizens of Hungary in the early stages of the lead up to the National Elections in May 2022 – are taking them DK – to a – Humiliating Defeat -at the up-coming National Elections in May 2022.
    DK – will not make the up-coming National Elections in Hungary May 2022 – a ROBUST – election process.
    Ferenc Gyurcsany – the Prime Example of a Political Figure – who needs put out to pasture – RETIRED – moved out of and away from being a major mouthpiece for DK.
    Gyurcsany – had his opportunity as Prime Minister of Hungary and History clearly indicates – he was a Complete – Embarrassment and Failure.
    DK – MUST wake up – and use pressure and vision – if they wish as a Political Party in Hungary – to have a Future – and send Gyurcsany – OFF.
    DK – it’s time to move ON – remove and get out of the way – let some Fresh New Blood and Ideas – IN – give space and air – OPPORTUNITIES – to the new breed DK party members – 21st century Thinking Members – and – RETIRE – do away with – THOSE – who have had there time BUT have FAILED – Ferenc Gyurcsany – the Prime Example.
    Ferenc Gyurcsany – dissect his address over the past week-end – under the “pantomine” presentation title – “We will sweep current regime from power”.
    It was a disgraceful attempt to mount an Oppostional base or position – to be a serious alturnative to our present Fidesz led Government.
    Why – principally because the presenter – is out of date – a Political Failure and time has passed him by – scared and battered – and he needs – RETIRED.
    DK – you are in a MESS – which sadly because – ROBUST – elections are Healthy for a Country – you are making the up-coming National Elections in May 2022 – a one way ticket to VICTORY – for our present Government.
