The left-wing parties started a joint fundraising campaign to finance the costs of the primary election, but the campaign also raises concerns about data protection and party financing. According to Zoltán Lomnici Jr., if the left-wing parties really took the primaries seriously, they would apply precisely defined legal and financial detailed rules for their conduct.
"The State Audit Office has previously established illegality regarding illegal party financing at Jobbik, a pillar member of the left-wing conglomerate.
The question rightly arises that if the left-wing parties are not able to follow the rules of the game individually, then what can we expect in this much more complicated relationship and regulatory system," Zoltán Lomnici, Századvég's legal expert, told Magyar Nemzet.
It is clear that the left-wing program called the primary election, apart from the fact that it has no real stakes according to many analysts, is also bleeding from countless wounds in a legal sense. Based on our knowledge so far, there are no minimum legal requirements for substantive data protection information, data security regulations, or the persons of the data controllers - the constitutional lawyer analyzed the decision of the parties of the rainbow coalition.
He then added: "If the left-wing parties really intended the 2021 primary election to be a serious contest, it would be surrounded by detailed legal and financial regulations, which is the minimum condition for holding a prestigious competition."
