PM candidate Márki-Zay: Voters must choose between two visions for Hungary
Hungarians must choose between two opposing visions for their country when they head to the polls on April 3, Péter Márki-Zay, opposition’s joint candidate for prime minister, said on Friday.
One of those visions is “Viktor Orbán’s Hungary” which has become “the European Union’s poorest and most corrupt country with the highest death rate,” Márki-Zay told an online press conference.
“But there’s another Hungary,” he said, “and we’re asking voters to support the platform for a prosperous Hungary.”
Márki-Zay said the opposition alliance was characterised by “full national unity”, as it was a grouping of “right and left-wingers, Jews, Christians, atheists, Roma and non-Roma people united in love and their desire to build a country on its way to prosperity with Western values”.
The joint election list of the six united opposition parties includes their candidates and civil activists, he said, adding that “the list obviously includes our Roma brothers and sisters representing the Roma minority”.
Márki-Zay said he was certain that the opposition list would get more votes than that of ruling Fidesz, adding, at the same time, that the election would be decided by the individual races in the electoral districts. In past elections, when the opposition was fragmented, it was always the Fidesz candidates that came out on top in these races, he said. “But now there’s a real race.”
“Fidesz is scared, which is why they keep passing amendments that will allow them to cheat to stay in power, while also saving more and more positions for themselves,” he insisted.
He said the opposition was in for an “extraordinarily difficult and heroic battle” and asked voters residing in marginal districts “to help us there”. Even citizens living abroad who have given up their permanent address, he said, should register to vote in their old districts “because their votes matter”.
He said he was convinced that the opposition would complete a clean sweep of the Budapest districts and that the election would be decided outside the capital.
Márki-Zay also emphasised the significance of Judeo-Christian culture in Hungarian culture, adding that “this is obviously not represented by Viktor Orbán”.
“No one should think that stealing has anything to do with Christianity or Judaism,” he said. “Judaism is based on the Ten Commandments which includes ‘You shall not steal’. How can one call themselves a Christian … if they don’t follow the most basic rules of the Ten Commandments?”
Asked if he would apologise for a remark, he had made in 2018 when he said an explanation he had given was “obvious to everyone except those who are disabled”, Márki-Zay said he would apologise to those with disabilities “for comparing them to Fidesz supporters”. “We love those with disabilities, in fact we also love Fidesz supporters,” he said.

“Ask not what your country can do for YOU ; ask what you can do for your Country.”
“It is not the Function of a Government to keep the citizens from Falling into Error.
It is the Function of the Citizens to Keep the Government from Falling into Error.”
Two Quotes.
One by John. Fitzgerald Kennedy – the 35th elected President of the United States of America – 1961-1963.
The second by – Robert. H. Jackson – Chief of Council USA – for the Prosecution of of Nazi War Criminals at the Neuremberg Trials – 1946.
Hungarians – we need to search deep and THINK – and quotes like these (2) two can assist – what can we do and how do we tell a Government – they are in ERROR.
Challenging times we Live – and our VOTE – a HISTORY changer – that will muchly determine the Future of Hungary.
Marki-Zay is right there are 2 paths Hungarians can choose. The path of losing their land to 3rd world migrants and the Brussels Soro’s lap dogs at the EU Parliament or the choice to retain the Hungarian culture and way of life by returning the present government to another term in office. Marki-Zays plans will see the dangerous Euro adapted as the currency which will further erode the pensions of the elderly and hurt the poor. Theeir green energy policies will further hurt Hungarians by raising heating cost and banning the use of wood burning heaters. It will cause the cost of having a privately owned motor vehicle to rise astronomically and it will try to force electric vehicles on drivers. The Hungarian electric grid can barely sustain delivy of power to residential customers as it is. Hungarains need to say no to the sausage coalitions candidates.
Oh my.. I hope hungarians doesn’t listen to guys like this. This one is probably payd by Open Society Foundation.
Lies, lies and more lies..
