Politicians planning on returning to hospitals, teaching positions and gardening after elections

By

andras-pettko.jpgWith Fidesz’s wide lead in the polls and the collapse of support for the smaller parties, all but the bigwigs in the Socialist Party are likely to lose their cushy seats in parliament this April. Consequently, Blikk asked a few of these pols what they’d be up to after the elections. Mária Vojnik (MSZP), a doctor, said she’d go back to working in a hospital, Gábor Horn (SZDSZ) said he would start a university (which I presume would feature all of the Free Dems’ plans to overhaul higher education). Kálmán Katona (ex-MDF) said he would return to environmental protection, Károly Tóth (MSZP) said he might return to teaching, and András Pettkó (ex-MDF, pictured) will return to landscape architecture. And if you didn’t see any of your favorite MPs, don’t worry. Given the nepotistic nature of Hungary’s business and political elite, they won’t be going to the poorhouse anytime soon.

    Maybe you could report their crimes to the police then, who is so well-informed?
    Or do you just do a Molnar Oszkar?
