Virus deniers founded a party in Hungary

György Gődény, one of the most well-known virus sceptics in Hungary, founded a new political party last November. Many guess that he wants to take part in the 2022 parliamentary elections. Interestingly, he already did so in the 2018 general elections with another party. However, he could not reach the required one pc, so he would have had to pay back the more than EUR 400 thousand he received for the campaign. He has not done so to this day.

According to blikk.hu, the party was formed in June, but the court registered it only at the beginning of November under the name ‘Normális Élet Pártja’ (Normal Life Party). The name is not surprising since Mr Gődény has many similar Facebook pages and groups, for example, THIS one. Interestingly, Gődény’s network is present not only in Hungary but also in some European countries.

The court registered the party with an address in Nyíregyháza where there are two real estates. One of them belongs to the mother of Mr Gődény and is the seat of a Jewish heritage protection foundation led by Mr Gődény. The other one is the official address of the Hungarian “virus realist” and his wife.

On the Internet, there is

no information as of yet about the new party, its goals, members, or plans.

The founder and current leader of the new party is Bánk Bulcsú Harkai, who created the ‘Közös Nevező’ (Common Denominator) party in 2018 to take part in the general elections. There, the bodybuilder pharmacist Gődény became number one on the party list while Mr Harkai received only the 23rd position.

As Transparency International reminds us, the ‘Közös Nevező’ party

received HUF 153 million (EUR 425,000) in 2018 for their campaign.

However, they received much fewer votes than one pc, so they would have had to pay back the grant. However, they have not done so to this day. Therefore, authorities are investigating them on the suspicion of budget fraud. Thanks to a modification accepted by the parliament, the political formations that cannot give a proper account of the public money they used cannot receive a grant from the state for their campaign.

Since Mr Gődény is still the leader of the ‘Közös Nevező’ party, Mr Harkai had to create the new party. As a result, they

will be able to receive the aid for their campaign.

Mr Gődény did not reply to Blikk‘s questions regarding his plans or the new party’s program.

Meanwhile, Zoltán Ceglédi, a political analyst, said that Gődény’s new party has a real chance of reaching five pc on the next general elections in 2022 and become a member of the parliament. This is because they can address active opposition and government supporters as well since

they can overwrite the traditional government-opposition dichotomy.

    “Silence is Golden” – but this “complex” individual continues to see a “need” of Falsely exciting society with Ideas and Philosophies that are idiotic to society and mankind, in a time that not just Hungary but the World we live, in 2021.
    Godeny – may like to consider the following, a statement made from a high profile Senior Barrister Q C, relating to a question on a subject matter.
    I have no confidence that he will but it will “test” him.
    “I know nothing about it and because I didn’t know about it, I didn’t have an opinion about it”.
    To keep quite is a Great Virtue.

    Godeny Gyorgy is a dangerous instrument – individual to Hungary.
    Present time, we have seen the use of social media as a important ingredient exploited and used by a President of The United States of America, that played a major role in Trumps image – ideas and philosophies in his Propaganda Machine.
    Hungary – we must not witness increase of Godeny – through Propaganda feed through “infested” through – the use of Social Media.
    The “precedent” imposed on the “infamous” – Donald J. Trump, may it be the forerunner of a greater investigation throughout the World of social media facilities and usage.
    Godeny – with the approaching 2022 National Elections in Hungary, he could be a “Big” scalp to example the Right and Wrong use of Social Media that is aimed at Political Destabilization of a Government – and through its availability continue to promote FALSENESS and Fabrication to what truly is happening in the Real World.
