Opposition urges parliament probe into Hungarian government measures ?
Parties of the parliamentary opposition have urged that ad-hoc committees should be set up to investigate the government’s coronavirus-related measures.
The proposed three committees should look into government decisions concerning the government’s response to the economic crisis, efforts against the pandemic and coronavirus vaccine purchases, the Democratic Coalition, Jobbik, LMP, Momentum, the Socialist Party, and Párbeszéd said in a joint statement on Monday.
The allied opposition parties insisted that the government had reacted “badly and extremely late” to challenges posed by the pandemic and the consequent economic problems, and made “a number of ill-advised decisions” impacting health services and the economy.
The government has “let down” companies and employees, while it “keeps residents in the fog concerning a vaccination schedule”, the statement said.
A decision has also been made to buy vaccine from China “amid great public distrust” concerning that product, which is not being licenced with the European Medicine Agency, the document added.
Ruling Fidesz said in reaction that “the left wing constantly slams efforts taken against the pandemic,” and it called on the opposition to withdraw Lajos Korozs, head of parliament’s welfare committee, saying he was linked to a “fake video” misrepresenting government’s measures and had “falsified mortality statistics”.
Meanwhile, Máté Kocsis, Fidesz’s parliamentary group leader, said the opposition should set up investigative committees in Brussels instead.
“It’s hard to imagine a more deceitful move even from them,” Kocsis said on Facebook in reaction to the opposition’s statement.
Members of “the Gyurcsány coalition” have been “attacking the government’s defence against the epidemic for nearly a year now”, Kocsis said.
He the reason why EU member states did not have enough vaccines was because “the Brussels bureaucracy has been incapable of organising their procurement”.
Kocsis also cited a leading left-wing advisor telling a western daily that the “Left’s strategy” was to “attack measures against the epidemic” in the hopes of making political gains in 2022 if the death toll and case numbers are high this year.

It seems that the DOBREV KLARA (DK)-led opposition parties suffer from ORO-PEDITIS (‘foot-in-mouth’ disease).
No one apart from their rabid supporters really gives a DAMN about any utterances made by this motley combination of political misfits and has-beens.
Until results of Hungary’s 2022 general elections are known, the ‘DOBREV PARTY’ should take note of those famous words sung by the Australian-Italian musician, Joe Dolce :
“Ah, shaddapa U face !”
Would it not be Fair to say, if all Governments of the World, to start again there processes in the fight and challenges they have continue to be confronted with, that the vast majority of them, would have taken radical different paths and directions – than those they originally undertook ?
My answer – YES.
Hungary – my grading would be a commendable “soft” pass mark.
It concerns me to read this article of the term – “of great public distrust ” which does not rest comfortable in my thought process – Overall.
It does concern me and I believe it – WRONG – for Economic and Humanitarian driven opinions, that Hungary communicates it is going down the road to purchase Russian and Chinese vaccines to inoculate citizens of Hungary.
My opinion is that Hungary stay firmly under ALL conditions of the Bloc – following the decisions recommendations coming out of the European Union in the Inoculation process and programs.
United as a Country and United in alinement agreement under The European Union banner in the fight against this novel coronavirus.

Whilst SOME of the points might have a minimal degree of validity, presentation of those would much better achieved with CORRECT usage of the English language.
At the moment, trying to make sense of ‘GARY J.A. BOOTH-HANSEN”s thoughts is akin to locating one goldfish in a bowl full of duck excrement.
“THE PREACHER” would be well-advised to attend some (long-overdue) English lessons before torturing readers of “DAILY NEWS HUNGARY” any further with his ramblings.
Incoherent*Ramblings – you are a nasty piece work. Gary is regular commentator and his unusual style is quite fun.
