Prime ministerial primary: Budapest mayor withdrew, former PM Gyurcsány’s wife to win?
Change language:
Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony on Friday announced that he is withdrawing from the opposition’s prime ministerial primary election and will back Péter Márki-Zay, leader of the Everyone’s Hungary Movement (MMM), in the second round of the nomination contest.
At a news conference in front of Parliament, Karácsony, who ran as the joint candidate of his Párbeszéd party, the Socialists and green LMP, asked his supporters to vote for Márki-Zay in the second round of the primary. Karácsony finished runner-up in the first round behind the Democratic Coalition’s Klára Dobrev and ahead of third-placed Márki-Zay.
Despite garnering 170,000 votes in the first round, Karácsony said he was now calling for support of a “centre-right politician with whom I have disputes on issues such as taxation”. He praised Márki-Zay as a “fair and honest man who is ready to serve, and who
loves his country more than he loves power”.
“If I hadn’t taken this step, [Prime Minister] Viktor Orbán would stay and our political differences would not matter,” he said. “Those who do not make sacrifices at times like these are not patriots,” he said. Márki-Zay said he would join the Budapest mayor’s 99 Movement “as a show of respect” for Karacsony, who “had shown that he puts the country above all else”.
I see Fidesz winning the election easy.
Fidesz has my vote because I don’t want the enemies of Hungarian people to rule Hungary.
Just keeps sadly unfolding – the SHAMBLES – the opposition are in.
Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing ?
How long has this supposive Big 6 – had – to get there act to-gether – and present themselves in a Political Professional Opposition Unit ?
Its a Ravelled Mess.
The upcoming National Elections May 2022 – continues to go down the path that will see a return to office with a comfortable Majority to the present Government.
We will not witness in Hungary – a – Robust – lead up to the National Elections – through the total inability of the Big 6 – to mount a plan, strategy, and table present policies – project an image of confidence – that makes the citizens of Hungary think – who they vote into Government – in May 2022.
Its a one way ticket – to a monumental victory for Fidesz – deservingly – that just keeps growing and being witnessed.
Why did they put on the clown show if they knew all along that he wants his wife to win the so-called primary?
They didn’t fool anyone.
Orban wins if Klara Dobrev is the sausage coalitions candidate for PM. No one with 2 or more remaining braincells left wants Klara Dobrev as PM.
Socialism must be kept out of Hungary. No socialist candidate deserves a vote. No candidate who puts the interest of the EU before the interest of the Hungarian people should ever be elected. Only patriots should be nominated.
Like a “Lamb to the Slaughter” – the position continues to be , for the Big 6.
Tragic – for Politics.
Tragic – for Hungary.
Without the Vibrancy – the strength and energy – policies – vision – quality of candidates – just few of the – VITAL – ingredients to make a – DEMOCRATIC – Election Process of – Interest.
It continues to be a One Way Ticket – growing – at this time – that the question Spreads being asked among Citizens – who are the OPPOSTION ???
This is 2021 – the BIG 6.
Move with the Times.
The World and Hungary post 1989 – Post February 2020 – has DRAMATICALLY CHANGED.
Don’t be – BLIND – and Remember – that Democracy continues to EVOLVE.
Be EXCITED – being part of an on-going process of evolution – add and contribute to its Building – into the Fabric – the “core” of traditional Hungarian culture and life-style.
Turn new pages/new leafs or – “turn on the lights” – awaken and – GIVE – the citizens of Hungary – a SERIOUS – Opposition Party.
Contribute to develope Hungary – its Future.
Take citizens with you on a FACTUAL journey and Ride – EXCITE them.
What is going to make the Big 6 – National Elections in May 2022 – Compeditive – but of Greater Importance – ROBUST ???
The Big 6 – if you think – the Husband and Wife ticket – are your way to office – empty your desks IMMEDIATELY and buy a Single one way ticket back to your place of residency or whatever ///
The English idiom don’t cry over split milk – tells citizens – not to be upset nor saddened by things they can’t change from the Past.
Hungary – with the RIGHT Political combinations and Ingredients/mixtures – VISION – new World post 1989- post February 2020 – can – through an OPPOSITION – of New Breed – New Era – “youthful” individuals – bring ON – a – Strong,Vigorous,Vibrant and ROBUST – pre election campaign.
Excite – the people, that builds slowly into and gives them a Climax – they will not forget and they will Remember – as a Life Changer – for them personally and Hungary.
Move with the times the Big 6 – or you will be – Lambs to the Slaughter.
