Orbán may tremble? Gyurcsány’s DK formed a shadow cabinet

Klára Dobrev, an MEP of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), is forming a shadow cabinet, the party’s deputy leader announced on Friday.

Dobrev has been appointed by DK’s board to form a shadow cabinet, which she has accepted, Csaba Molnár told a news conference. Molnár said DK was convinced that “no one in Hungary today is more qualified” to head a shadow cabinet than Dobrev. He noted that Dobrev had worked at every level of state administration, speaks five languages, has degrees in law and economics and, as a vice president of the European Parliament, had established international relations that are crucial for Hungary.

Dobrev will reveal her plans as shadow prime minister at an event on Sunday before presenting the members of her shadow cabinet at a press conference on Monday, Molnar said.

He said DK had decided to form a shadow cabinet because it believes “Hungary is in serious trouble”. The government “lied to the people” during the spring election campaign, and went on to “impose the most painful austerity package since the change of regime”, Molnár insisted.

He said the government’s track record consisted of inflation, fuel shortage, a seven-fold increase in gas prices, tax hikes, “ruined small businesses”, the cost-of-living crisis and the “panic over utility bills”. Molnar said Hungary was being denied access to European Union funds due to “the theft that has been going on for 12 years”.

Molnár blamed Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for the cost-of-living crisis in Hungary, saying that the crisis would persist as long as he remained in power.

Ruling Fidesz said in reaction that the Hungarian people wanted no part of a “Gyurcsány government”. “Hungarians have had a chance to experience what it is like when [DK leader] Ferenc Gyurcsány is in government,” Fidesz said in a statement.

“It was the left that pushed Hungary to the brink of bankruptcy: they scrapped the 13th month pension, took a month’s wage away from teachers and health-care workers, raised electricity and gas prices, scrapped family subsidies, made thousands homeless and when times got tough, they placed more burdens on Hungarian businesses and families instead of helping them,” the party said.

In the April election, an overwhelming majority of Hungarians rejected “the Gyurcsány era” for the fourth time, they added.

    Sunday – decisions handed down from Brussels – European Union, it will be ANOTHER day, that will go down, in the History of Hungary.
    “Burn Bridges” – Fidesz Political Party, under its Leader and present Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban – “the inability to revert to an earlier state or position” – this could be a FACTOR – the “longevity” of the Orban/Hungarian Government attitude to the European Union, that FUNDING – from the European Union, will not be received by Hungary.
    The past (7) seven days – from within – published GLOBALLY by the European Union, that Hungary, does not meet – through its ACTIONS – to be referred to as a Democracy.
    Global media – has “feed” on this factual statement, out of Brussels.
    Contrary – to what is Fidesz and the Government of Hungary, under the Leadership of the present Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban, “saturating” through use of false propaganda, to the population of Hungary, a statement made by the Minister of Justice – Judith Varga – 16th September 2022, we know her Political Party membership, her released statement to ALL Hungarians, that Hungary has answered ALL the questions asked of them by the European Union, that to hold back FUNDING, would be legally wrong.
    DNH article dated 16th September 2022 titled – “Minister; we have done everything the EU has asked”.
    This article – with ALL other events that have factually un-folded out of Brussels – the European Union, in the past (7) seven days – personifies – the absolute use of PROPAGANDA – increasingly coming out of the present Fidesz led Government of Hungary under the present Prime Minister – Victor Orban, that is NOT truth.
    “Fingers in the Pie” – mis-use – misapplication of funding – bleeding off of funding received from the European Union, by the “inner sanctum” plus the Oligarchs – these are just few reasons – why funding by the European Union, has RIGHTFULLY been withheld.
    Sunday – the “aftermath” of Sunday 18th September 2022, in the History of Hungary – Interesting.

    Orban tremble.
    No – not the “Strong Man of European Politics.”
    Drive him to increased acts of Rule by Decree.

    It doesn’t matter, her degrees in law, her ability to speak five languages and other impressive accreditations. The truth is she’s married to Gyurcsany Ferenc, and while the two of them continue to try to form an opposition, nothing will ever change. With the help of state controlled media Fidesz will continue to slur everything and anything they do. Fear is a great weapon. For any change to happen drastic measures are required, they need to leave politics completely and until they do we’re stuck with a dictator.
