PM candidate Márki-Zay: PM Orbán a mercenary and servant of Putin

Hungary’s April general election will usher in a “government of humanity in place of inhumanity”, Péter Márki-Zay, the opposition’s joint candidate for prime minister, said at a demonstration in front of the headquarters of the International Investment Bank in Budapest on Tuesday evening.

“For 12 years Hungary has had a government that has always been at war with someone and has consistently lost those wars,” Márki-Zay said, pointing to “the government’s struggles against public debt . liberalism, migration, inflation” and its response to the pandemic as examples.

Marki-Zay called Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “a mercenary and servant” of Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he shared part of the blame for the situation in Ukraine.

He added, at the same time, that the government had fulfilled most of the opposition’s demands by backing the European Union’s sanctions against Russia. Now, he said, all they wanted was for Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó to return an award recently received “for serving Russian interests” and for public and commercial media to “stop pushing Orbán’s Putin propaganda”.

Emphasising Hungary’s commitment to the West, Márki-Zay said it was not Orbán but rather Hungary’s EU and NATO memberships that kept the country safe.

Bence Tordai, deputy group leader of Párbeszéd, said the war in Ukraine was a culmination of “a two decades-long offensive by the Russian president in which he was knowingly joined by Viktor Orbán, his business partner, friend and ally”.

Tordai insisted that

Orbán was still working to slow down joint European action and weaken the response by NATO, “because that’s what he’s been doing since 2010”.

Many in the crowd carried EU, Hungarian and Ukrainian flags.

    Marki-Zay is an idiot. How does he thinks he will ensure Hungarian people will be able to heat their houses and drive cars. What does he propose the people should use?

    How fortunate we are to have the wise words of mariavontheresa, who far away in Canada is able to give us her non biased views on our country should be run.

    Far from his “Zenith” what the present Prime Minister of Hungary was designing to achieve – through a philosophy – of us first Fidesz & Co – the “Inner Sanctum” lot – the “Leech” club members – and then in second distanced place – the people/citizens of Hungary.
    Victor Orban finds himself in a position just not as the Prime Minister of Hungary but in the European Union – Europe and the Wider World especially the U.S.A. – smothered, scared possible mortally wounded, by the AGENDA – line of Politics he has DRIVEN – over the past Decade and longer.
    Hungary – the above & below the table – deals that have taken place between Russia and China – the bringing to-gether of closer Relationships that – have been Dismantling – ERADICATING – the Fundamentals of Democracy – this Philosophy – this Agenda, this course – that Hungary has been DRIVEN – by the present Government to be part of – this is being HIGHLIGHTED – by the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.
    The name Hungary – by the European Union, Europe the U.S.A. and the wider world – little attention is being paid – to a role it may play – its future vulnerability – existance – if Russia conquers the Ukraine.
    1989 – and prior in Hungary – people the children of those people – alive living amongst us to-day in Hungary – remember the Communist years of Rule – and UNDERSTAND – the great differences between DEMOCRACY and being Ruled & Govered under a Dictatorship of Communism.
    The present Government of Hungary – under the present Prime Minister – Victor Orban – an Economy that is spiraling out of control in a downward TREND – the dilemma – the difficulty of circumstances, from which to escape, through conflicting Opinions and Positions – Victor Orban – what of his Personal Future ???

    Marki Zay claims Orban is a puppet of Putin. Which is not true. Marki Zay is a proven puppet of Soros,His comment is frankly just another cheap shot by a wannabe leftist leader of Hungary. Not going to happen. Marki Zay needs to return to Canada and pick up where he left off as a door to door vacuum cleaner saleman. He has no policies of his own, everthing he advocates came directly off an email from Sors giving him his marching orders to destroy Hungarian sovereignty, adapt the Euro and open the borders to every freeloader in the middle east and sub saharan africa.

    Perhaps he could enlist the help of mariavontheresa to help sell his vacuum cleaners. This person needs more in their life rather than giving biased views on how our country should be run.

    Anonymous, I am still waiting to hear something of substance from you. I am not holding my breath. Logic is required for analysis, it seems when God was distributing logic, She missed you.

    By the way, what is your solution for Hungary’s energy need?….no good answer, I did not think you had one.
