Fidesz and Jobbik are not enemies and should combine their forces in the interests of national goals, Civil Unity Forum spokesman Tamás Fricz said in a speech at a demonstration demanding early elections near Kossuth tér on Sunday afternoon.
The umbrella group for 500 NGOs held a 1,500-strong rally on Heroes’ Square before marching to Kossuth tér, where Fricz told the crowd that at the European Parliament (EP) elections on June 7, 82% of voters had withdrawn their confidence in the Bajnai cabinet.
Tarlós, head of the Fidesz-Christian Democrat faction on the Budapest city council, said “the Socialists and the liberals are refusing to recognise the will of the people, but they received an unambiguous message at the EP elections.”
The demonstrators gave the cabinet until September to resign.
Kossuth Rádió reported that some 2-3,000 people were present at the event, while atv.hu claimed that the crowd was 4-5,000.
The protest ended without incident at around 7.30 p.m.
“The umbrella group for 500 NGOs held a 1,500-strong rally on Heroes’ Square”
That would then make 3 representatives from each NGO.
Wow, the grass roots are really active.
The big Kossuth tér-meeting afterwards was then the big Fidesz/Jobbik street-rally, that will force new local national elections?
“Fidesz and Jobbik are not enemies…”or at least *shouldn’t be* enemies (or gladiators really in a circus) or does anyone in his right mind understand why Fidesz ignores and even attacks Jobbik after its spectacular performance? In parliamentary elections a Fidesz-Jobbik coalition could hack a 2/3 to 3/4 majority for Christ’s sake! By what kind of insane logic does the Fidesz reject that?
Mr Pávaszem, The first reason is that in the eyes of Fidesz ONLY Fidesz can rule. Jobbik is not controled by the ‘All Highest’ of Fidesz therefore it is not Fidesz and must be destroyed.
The second Jobbik is an illegal organisation in Hungary. The Treaty of Paris 1947 says so!
Bullshit Odin!!
Wait and see what Jobbik can come up with under the leadership of the jew’s wife.
Fidesz should win a clear mandate to govern but first they should produce a manifesto outlining what they intend to do regarding reforms, corruption, useless local government and, the deplorable state of the Hungarian economy in general. Useless alliances between small and large parties lay duck eggs. MSZP/SZDP??
Let Jobbik be judged solely on what plans they have (or not) to restore some dignity to Hungary and its people.
Fidesz: WHERE IS YOUR MANIFESTO ON WHICH HUNGARIANS CAN JUDGE YOU?. It is not good enough to expect to be elected because the MSZP are a bunch of corrupt commie cranks who have all but destroyed any credibility this country may have had.
Odin’s lost: “Fidesz” They may be a bunch of arrogant snob hacks but who is better? “Jobbik… illegal” So is the MSZP and SZDSZ if we go back to even earlier legislation.
The whole circus passes for democracy like Mickey Mouse passes for a real mouse.
QC, “the jew’s wife” How about the Gypsy that would be PM *again?* You seem to have missed my point though so let me rephrase: By what logic does any party reject permanent parliamentary majority? Do you folks really not see anything *wrong* with this picture? What exactly is FIDESZ’s mission anyway? (Which you were BTW right to mention
Pávaszem,
“How about the Gypsy that would be PM *again?*”
I was wondering when this old question would come up about Orban.
According to our resident Minority-watchers Orban is clearly Roma, so can Hungarians really be ruled by anything else but any of its minorities?
reading the posters on this side it is clear that the Jews are now in control, next year you will elect the Roma.
Maybe Jobbik should propose a ‘Tiszta Magyar’-test for politicians?
The question is how many ‘Real Politicians’ will be left though.
