Socialist prime ministerial candidate Attila Mesterházy promised “certainty and calm” to a forum of nearly 1,000 pensioners at Budapest’s Millenáris Park at the weekend.
Opening the party campaign rally, Mesterházy said pensioners are not playthings, and need certainty, safety and peace. He also signed a Socialist Party petition.
Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance welfare section head Miklós Soltész responded that if the Socialists really want to defend pensioners, they should have come up with a pension programme in their eight years of government.

Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech."

More lies…
Senkiházy is a nobody picked by the Communist politburo to pretend that they are more than just a bunch old hard-line Communists. It will not work.
