Even if the Democratic Forum fails to attract enough voters to send Lajos Bokros to the European Parliament, party chairwoman Ibolya Dávid will not step down, party spokesman Szabolcs Kerék-Bárczy announced, as reported by atv.hu.
Bokros, who is a professor of economics and author of the infamous austerity package of the mid-1990s, told the party he would make his decision final by Sunday. The party would then make its list for the European Parliamentary elections final.
