New SZDSZ chair presses for resignation of parliamentary leader

Free Democrat leader Attila Retkes repeated his call for caucus leader János Kóka to resign in an interview with Inforádió on Sunday.

Retkes said the liberal party had erred by supporting former Prime Minister Péter Medgyessy after his past in counterintelligence emerged in 2002, and also when former prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány’s “lies speech” was leaked to the media in the autumn of 2006.

In an interview with Lánchíd Rádió on Sunday, Retkes said he has no intention of changing his party’s name and logo. He also asserted that there are between 40 and 60 active party members in each county who could help the party to renew itself. Retkes visualises a national liberal party open to civic ideas, HírTV reported.

Meanwhile former party chairman Gábor Fodor sharply criticised those who have left the party since Retkes was elected chairman, in an interview with the weekly Hetek.

Fodor claimed that a sustained campaign to get party members to quit the party is underway, and that Kóka is obstructing “valid party resolutions”

    Yes.
    We all pray against and pay for reemergence of this party of political circuitry and banditry. No other ex-communist country would have tolerated such party for as long as Hungary has.
    20 years and the “founding fathers” have brought our country to her knees and to the brink.
    These crooks belong to a concentration camp designed this time for real and total eradication.
    No other solution will suffice.

    beju,
    Even if SZDSZ worked together in Parliament together with the ex-Commies in MSZP, they never had any ex-Commies as Party Officials, like Fidesz and MSZP?
    Your real problem is that you call some of their leaders being Jews, right?
    Nowadays even Jobbik is proud with having Jews as Party Members, so maybe time to update your rhetoric?
    Your sentence “No other ex-communist country would have tolerated such party for as long as Hungary has” needs an example where political parties have been made illegal, outside Russia? Concentrate on Europe, because we live here, even if you miss your new Master Put in and want the Russians to come back and run the show in Europe. That is why you live in the US?

    Pish-posh Viking, bringing logic and facts to bejew makes as much sense as teaching your dog to count to 10.

  4. Godot says:

    You can probably teach a dog to count to ten, but you guys (girls?) will never be good for anything. Useless waste of space.

  5. C'est moi says:

    A brilliant retort. I tip my hat to you.

    @C’est moi: I’ve been saying for a while he needs to work on some new material. Stuck in aging hippy mode isn’t putting any skip into his verbal acuity.
    @Stan: Look, I’m feeling sorry for you, so here’s a donation to get you going – they are all taken from the 1950s and 60s, taken and used by authentic dullards such as yourself, so you should feel right at home uttering them:
    1. Why don’t you go out and play in the traffic? Los Angeles, 1953-1956 (Marina Wheeler).
    2. You’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny. (Bruce Sanders, Anaheim)
    3. You think you’re a pretty big cheese around here, but you only smell like it. Canoga Park, 1965 (Alexandra Cowie).
    4. Just because you have a pointed head doesn’t mean that you’re sharp. Arcadia, 1964 (Mary Ibershoff).
    5. Your voice is changing, but your breath smells the same. Broomall, Pennsylvania, 1960 (Bob Marman).
    6. Do you know how to lose ten ugly pounds? Cut off your head. Los Angeles, 1965 (Eugene Frisbie).

  7. C'est moi says:

    Vandorlo – Funniest thing I have seen all day, well after that perfectly excellent rejoinder.

  8. beju says:

    C’est moi,
    Your hat is full of excrement for starters.
    Wear it proudly while it flows naturally downhill.
    After awhile it’ll taste good for you, directing you straight into the right dump. Beware, there might be prohibiting ordinances for your type.
    Check before checking in and unloading!

  9. beju says:

    Vandorlo,
    Your recitals are amazing!
    Did you and still live in the 1960′s to this very day where if you remembered them you weren’t there?
    Apparently you weren’t.
    Boasting with far out there lines you produced here proves it beyond a doubt.

    @Beju: You are so feeble brained, it’s disgusting even engaging you in discourse at this level.
    If you are really interested then the source was: “Modern Taunts and Insults”

    Vandorlo,
    Feeble you said?
    Now why would I want to be interested in this particular book? Are you a Jehova’s Witness?
    Or an insurance salesman stuck in an elevator with some innocent bystander?
    Are you a salesman for this particular publication?
    Have you ever heard of or read about the Constitution?

  12. beju says:

    Vandorlo,
    Secondly and probably a better thought for you.
    I could give you numbers of title of books and publications for your careful consideration of studying for understanding where I’m coming from.
    I don’t, because you are either interested in them, or aren’t. Obviously you’re not.
    So I don’t try to force it down your throat as opposed to you “democratically” doing so in my direction.
    Seems like you have a few things to catch up on when it comes to “democracy”. ISN’T IT?

  13. Vándorló says:

    @Beju: Don’t worry, Túnde pores over your every word and takes you as an oracle of enlightenment and learning. I’ll leave her to decipher your latest visionary glossolalia for us mortals.

  14. C'est moi says:

    It’s too bad we can’t kick his ass old testament style because he just said the ‘J’ word. Let me go get some rocks.

  15. beju says:

    C’est moi:)))
    Old testament style?))))))
    You jewish piece of dump, trust me you’d have your ass kicked thoroughly with or without your rock.
    What a friggin’ jewish doorknob you are.
