Former PM Gyurcsány denies he plans to start new party

Hungary’s former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany is not planning to set up a party of his own, Gyurcsany’s office told MTI on Thursday, in reaction to a report in conservative weekly Heti Valasz.

“Gyurcsany supports unity within the (minority governing) Socialist Party,” the office told MTI in a statement.

According to Heti Valasz, Gyurcsany has met several liberal intellectuals for talks on a possible new party to address “currently passive social-liberal voters”.

Gyurcsany’s office dismissed the report as unfounded.

In April, Parliament’s constructive no-confidence motion removed Gyurcsany from his position as prime minister, soon after he had resigned as head of the Socialist Party.

    When Jobbik/MG will come out from the closet and admit that their “political action” has been just a marketing trick to sell more Kárpátia CD´s and merchandize?

    Gormless Gyurcsany should seek help and not be
    harbouring the illusion that he can return.
    Liberal and intellectual – which of these does
    “gobstopper” think he is?
    Frankie should fuck off once and for all because
    in real terms he should be dangling by his ankles from the same lampost where the Stork builds its nest.
    Intellectual and liberal what a deadly cocktail
    for any mis-guided ponce to believe they can
    launch a political party on such a deluded assumption…mmm
