Socialists: Ruling parties ‘campaign with vaccines for 2022 votes’
Ágnes Kunhalmi, the co-leader of the opposition Socialists, has accused lawmakers of the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat (KDNP) parties of using vaccination as a tool to solicit voter support for the 2022 parliamentary elections.
She told an online press conference on Wednesday that Fidesz lawmaker Kristóf Szatmáry and KDNP parliamentary group leader István Simicskó had personally delivered doses of Covid-19 vaccines to the homes of elderly people in two Budapest districts.
Kunhalmi said
the ruling party lawmakers were mounting this campaigning in an effort to make up for the “loss of hundreds of thousands of votes since the first wave of the epidemic [last spring].”
She called the practice “unacceptable and outrageous”.
