Socialists: election committee rejection of popular vote initiative shows “government fears people”
Budapest, December 1 (MTI) – The National Election Committee’s (NVB) decision rejecting the Socialist Party’s initiative to hold a referendum on sales of state land show that the government fears the people, the opposition party said on Tuesday.
The National Election Committee on Monday threw out a referendum initiative aiming to block the government’s scheme to sell plots of state-owned farmland. The committee rejected the initiative on the grounds that it would impact the budget law and that its wording was not clear.
Socialist deputy leader Zoltan Gogos told a news conference that the NVB was stuffed with party appointees rather than technocrats, so nobody could be under any illusion that the ruling rejecting the popular vote was fair-minded.
