Hungarian Health Minister Ágnes Horváth has only eight days to go before officially leaving her post, following the timetable agreed when her dramatic sacking took place last month. But for the Socialists who wanted Horváth gone bad enough to spark a fatal rift with her fellow Liberals, every day she remains in office is an eternity.
According to a report on hirszerzo.hu, based on a story in tabloid Blikk, leading Socialists – including Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány – are upset by what they call Horváth’s “hyperactive” refusal to stop making decisions in the final weeks as Minister.
After Horváth was sacked effective April 30, she said she wanted to work hard until that date, and her hard work has included political awkward suggestions for how to deal with the fallout from the withdrawal of doctor “visit fees,” among other things.
The report claims that Gyurcsány has asked her to “come up with less ideas,” which, given the trouble most new thinking seems to cause this government, strikes us as advice the PM may want to give all of his ministers, dead and undead.
If you need to get the sack before you can start comming up with ideas, then maybe we should fire the whole parliamnet?
Just think, a sudden spurt of innovative ideas!
What next, maybe a 4th metro line?
Perhaps a campaign to sack G Y Jelly would spurn him on to come up the goods.
There is no hope for GY Jelly, nothing much you can do with one brain cell!
That braincell has obviously kept beating the shit out of Orban and his friends for years, so what does that make them?
The only good quality of Orban is that he’s not Gyurcsany.
Same with FIDESZ: it still sucks, but at least it’s not MSZP or SZDSZ.
The enemy of my enemy…
