The Democratic Coalition presents shadow cabinet
Opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) MEP Klára Dobrev on Monday introduced members of its shadow cabinet, declaring that the shadow cabinet was there to ensure that DK was ready to govern.
Dobrev told a press conference that Hungary could emerge from its “crisis” only if Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s “irresponsible” government were dislodged.
She said shadow cabinet members were “respected experts” in their respective fields.
Deputy party leader Csaba Molnar will take up post of shadow chancellery minister and shadow deputy prime minister responsible for EU affairs and public administration reform.
Zoltán Bodnár, a former deputy governor of the National Bank of Hungary, will be shadow finance minister, the only non-elected official, Dobrev said, noting Bodnar’s expertise in budgetary, fiscal and monetary policy.
MEP Sándor Rónai, the shadow foreign minister, is tasked with restoring Hungary’s image abroad and reviving Visegrad Group cooperation.
The post of shadow interior minister has been assigned to Géza Musto, deputy mayor of Budapest’s 10th district, while Ferenc Dávid will be shadow economy minister. Among other shadow cabinet posts, Ágnes Vadai, former defence minister, will take up the shadow defence job.
Asked why Ferenc Gyurcsány, the former Socialist prime minister, has not been tapped for a shadow cabinet position, DK’s spokeswoman Olga Kálmán said the DK leader had already made it clear that he would focus on leading the party and its parliamentary group, and would not accept a government position.

Referendum :
PUSH Orban into a CORNER – don’t let him out the corner – he is in a BIG enough Hole – he can’t crawl or get out of, through the MESS he has got Hungary into to.
Go to the citizens and ask ;
(1) – Hungary – want to stay in the European Union ?
If you vote YES – I will Oban step down.
(2) – Hungary – if you vote NO – I will stay on as Prime Minister.
REMEMBER – the British Prime Minister put his job on the line, with Britain and its European Membership.
Cameron said vote yes to LEAVE the European Union – I will resign.
Vote YES to stay in the European Union – and I will stay on as your Prime Minister.
We know what HAPPENED and David Cameron re-signed gracefully.
Orban – make him GO to the people before the NADIR trend of Hungary, all of his and the Fidesz Party creation & doing – sees us DESTROYED as a Country.
