Opposition Rep: LMP is assurance for representation of green issues in Hungary
LMP and the party’s Green Guarantee programme, is the assurance for representation of green issues, the opposition party’s co-leader said at an online press conference on Sunday.
Máté Kanász-Nagy asked voters to support the opposition’s unified front even though there is no green candidate among those competing in the second round of primaries to pick the opposition’s joint challenger for prime minister in the 2022 general elections.
“LMP’s Green Guarantee programme is the kind of programme that provides an answer to Hungary’s social, economic and environmental crisis,” he added.
He said Hungary must be made free of nuclear energy for a sustainable future and to protect it from the effects of climate change. He added that if there is a change in government, Paks II contracts will not only be “probed”, they will immediately be cancelled.
One of the most important natural wonders in Hungary is in grave danger
Kanász-Nagy said social justice is an important element of LMP’s programme, too, and the party aims to raise salaries of people working in the public, social and cultural sectors, in health-care and in education. The party wants to introduce a multi-rate tax system in which earnings up to the minimum wage are tax fee, and people whose earnings are average take home “tens of thousands of forints” more than they do at present, he added.
Kanász-Nagy said LMP believes every family and every child is equal and aims to “significantly raise” family benefits. He added that the party wants to channel state and European Union funding to Hungarian SMES rather than “supporting assembly plants and multinationals”.
LMP does not want to join the eurozone “for the time being”, as it believes adopting the common currency would increase Hungary’s exposure to Western Europe, he said.

LMP is a Soros party. They cause nothing but grief to Hungarians by attacking Hungary in the EU. Some would call it treason. I would.
Question – Who is the Oppostion supposedly mounting a – CHALLENGE – to the present Government in Power ?
Who – the (6) six of THEM – what is there Platform – what are there Policies ?
Does appear FOGGED – no clear Policy Change direction and covered in “veiled” rhetoric – that further adds – they are SADLY – a Shambles.
Not Healthy – is this obvious situation going into the National Elections May 2022 – for Citizens and Hungary.
We are not and will not see – a ROBUST – National Election Process in Hungary.
“Square Pegs in Round Holes”.
Sadly what we are witnessing is the “old guard” policies that Failed dismally – in the Office of Prime Minister – in the past. The inability – unable to “move” with the times of change – that over the past (11) eleven years in Hungary – we have occupied a position oftened refered to as a showpiece in the EU and Europe.
We must NEVER consider returning to the past deep and dark – ideas and political philosohy of the “old guard” and his “consort”.
New Brooms do Sweep Clean – and it is well and truely past the used by date – that the front player and his “consort” – in the positions of opposition Front Line represenatives – the supposed answers – to all of Hungary’s “conceived” or “assumed” problems – in the up-coming National Elections in Hungary – May 2022 – need RETIRING.
Retirement – a massive gain for the population of Hungary – and the overall POLITICAL arena in Hungary.
Certainly the environment is important but the Greenies don’t care about the environment . They only intend to make life more difficult for ordinary Hungarians. They are paid traitors of the Soro’s cabal.
Norbert and Mike Hall,
You called it like it is.
Thanks.
“Hungary must be made free of nuclear energy”
This statement is the giveaway. They want to destroy Hungary’s energy sector and remove Hungary’s energy independence so they become reliant on other sources. Its a form of control. Pay attention to the way some of these people talk. They will use certain words that give away their intentions. Words like “Green”, “Sustainable”, and “Climate change” among others are used to signal who they are. I would not be surprised if LMP has connections to Soros’ Open Society Foundation and The World Economic Forum. Nuclear Energy is one of the cleanest and safest ways to produce electricity. If you don’t know how a nuclear reactor works you should invest the time to watch a few different videos so you get an idea. Its not as complicated as you might think. Even the waste that it produces can be recycled and recent breakthroughs allow the waste to be used as fuel for an energy source.
