SZDSZ to elect new leadership on July 12 following EP wipeout

Hungary’s Free Democrats will postpone a national congress to elect a new chairman and 12 new executives by one week, people close to the party told MTI on Wednesday.

The liberal party’s national council has decided to postpone the congress from July 4 to July 12, the sources said on condition of anonymity.

The Free Democrats’ leader Gabor Fodor offered to resign on June 7 after the party’s huge drubbing in the European Parliamentary election. Four party executives followed suit three days later.

At an extraordinary meeting this weekend, the national council is expected to amend the earlier decision on the date of electing new officials and to officially call the party meeting within 15 days.

The liberal party, which fields 19 deputies in the 386-seat Parliament, holds the balance of power. The minority ruling Socialist crisis-management government relies on the votes of liberal MPs in order to pass key legislation such as the 2010 budget.

Several liberal MPs have indicated their desire to see the current political cycle end after next year’s budget is passed at the end of the year. Other deputies have speculated that the party, which only managed to gain the support of 2.2 percent of the electorate in the EP elections, is likely to fold in its current set-up.

    Oh yes!
    Fold like a respringable umbrella. I’ve been holding my breath. Crooks like these jewish bastards don’t just give up and leave the political scene. They eat, regurgitate and spit. And usually the offsprings are more crooked than the parents were as history teaches us anything. Unless they’re wiped out completely can a normal human being get on with life.

    Nixon put it the best of the jews.
    “These people have a death wish!”

    So you want to “wipe out completely” these “Jewish bastards”, do you Beju? What a lovely person you must be. I must introduce you to my mother sometime.
    Does history teach us anything else relevant here?

  4. beju says:

    In the speculative “does history teach us anything” bull, could you contribute more specifically as far as your comment?
    I’m all ears. In your case eyes. Looking forward!

    Almost forgot…in terms of loveliness my dear TDS, you’d be surprised how lovely I can be in the company of the so-called holocaust bullshit survivers. In fact they keep calling me back every time.

    “in terms of loveliness my dear TDS, you’d be surprised how lovely I can be in the company of the so-called holocaust bullshit survivers. In fact they keep calling me back every time”
    You are a cab-driver or waiter?
    You are a spineless maggot who does not tell people what you really think of them, instead of licking up the shit that their dogs drop?
    You are a ‘Hungarian’?

    Viking,
    Remember I told you to learn English and read between the lines. You still don’t understand English my friend and can’t read any of it either.
    How much insight should I instill in your stubborn mind?
    I was making fun of the “holocaust” and survivors or whatever they call themselves these days.
    You’re starting to disappoint me big time.

    Cab driver or waiter… you wish my swedish crancky old doorknob. Cab driver, what a bunch of crap you are, not that it would surprise me you being a Swede. Cab driver…
    It suits you. Raoul Wallenberg. We should have had you all deported or shot while we had the chance.
    Cab driver..
    Trust me, once Hungary regains her independence from this EU crap, you’ll be the first to go and never return.

    beju,
    Sarcasm and irony has a tendency to disappear in this time of the written and not spoken word.
    But I do not see so much space between your lines.

  10. beju says:

    That’s why I recommended you to study Hungarian history. Has nothing to do with sarcasm or irony.
    This is an English language site last time I checked and I took exception correcting your comments and stance. Being a swede living and mouthing off in my country is an insult to injury in my book the way you come off. And take this upon you, I’ll be on your case, because of the simple following reason. You and your type helped degrade my nation to the level it is now.
    And I’ll make sure I’ll fuck you up for it, be it in Hungary or wherever you and your ilk try to escape from it.
    Judgment day is near my swedish friend.

    “Judgment day is near my swedish friend”
    Yes, I really like the picture of you standing in the street with a sign:
    “Judgment day is coming!”
    Question is what will come first:
    - Hungary leaves the EU (and probably NATO also?)
    - Judgment day

  12. beju says:

    What would come first you ask?
    Deporting you Raoul! In a cattlewagon.

    Now dear admin!
    Would you be so kind as to inform why you rearrange, wipe out, organize to conform to your own type of political cup of tea? Is this a site where you want to look good my dear politics.hu?
    It’s so obvious and noticeable only you don’t see it!
    Do it again and I bid you so long forever and good.
