Regarding Gyula Molnár's statements, it is always difficult for me to decide whether the former socialist politician is so naive or just pretending to be. As is known, the National Ethical and Disciplinary Affairs Council of the MSZP decided decision to expel the party's former president, because he only undertook the election contest in the colors of the DK, thus violating the party's integrity and the strategy adopted by the congress.

On the other hand, Molnár presented the multi-party mud wrestling that took place in the show tent of the primary election in a somewhat different light, when he was found saying in the ATV studio that he "wanted to be from the damn DK", and he even added that

I was handed over to DK for free.

That's how Gyula became the cheapest slave, as he was given for free, not even asking for a bottle of whiskey in return. However, Gyurcsány would hardly have had any difficulty completing this type of barter.

about the past of Gyula Molnár , who worked as the president of the MSZP between 2016 and 2018, i.e. as the party's first man, and in the past thirty years he held countless other leading party positions: before 1990, KISZ III. district secretary, president of the Left Youth Association during the regime change, and vice president of the MSZP between 1998 and 2000 before becoming party leader. For sixteen years as a member of parliament (1990–2006) and in two terms in the XI. acted as district mayor (2002–2010). In the 2018 parliamentary elections, he won an individual representative mandate in the 18th electoral district of Budapest, and even worked as a member of the MSZP a few days ago, in the period between his suspension and expulsion.

His story could even be an emblem of the organizational crisis of the socialists, their internal disputes and the process of their becoming insignificant. Of course, Gyula was not the first, and probably not the last, who, trying to leave the sinking ship, left the party that lost half of its voting base in ten years, and its popularity, as well as its significance in the Hungarian and EU parliaments, fell to a historic low.

In addition to the leadership crises - in the past ten years, the MSZP has held a reform five times, and together with the current co-chairs, five people led the party (Mesterházy, Tóbiás, Molnár, Tóth and Kunhalmi) - before 2018, many of their politicians resigned or were just expelled: such was László Botka , György Hiesz, Tibor Szanyi or József Tóbiás. But a good number of their basic organizations have also ceased to exist due to various political reasons and disputes, most recently in 2020 the entire Pest County membership was suspended.

And then we didn't even talk about the fact that since the municipal elections in 2019, among other things, two Budapest mayors and a deputy mayor have joined the Democratic Coalition, where, according to their own admission, they can "more effectively" represent the interests of their district in the future. The socialist mayors of Óbuda and Pestszentlőrinc, László Kiss and Sándor Szaniszló, and Norbert Trippon, deputy mayor of Újpest (together with István Farkas and Gábor Szabó, two local government representatives) decided in February 2020 to leave the MSZP and join the Democratic Coalition, keeping their elected positions. Finally, we should also mention László Szakács, whose support was withdrawn by the MSZP at the same time as the Molnár case, after the individual candidate from Komló also parachuted into the DK.

Based on all of this, there is no doubt that the DK will eat the MSZP alive, and regardless of the outcome of next year's elections, it will strive to become the largest left-wing faction in the parliament, if only the politicization and goals of the Gyurcsány-Dobrev tandem can still be called left-wing. .

Returning to Gyula Molnár, who of course denied that the DK would conduct scalp hunting among its allies, primarily the MSZP – politicians and voters – camp, to the last question of the ATV interview, whether he would join the DK, he unintentionally spoke out in his clumsy answer:

Let's get to the point where I win my district and there is a change of government, and then I say that everything is possible... If we win and Karácsony becomes the prime minister, which I also trust, then I think that the role of his civil movement, the extreme right, the characters on the left... so everyone has to redefine themselves a bit, and believe me, there will be surprises.

This answer contains everything that is the essence of the united opposition:

• Let there be a change of government, and then we will have to wonder how to proceed. After all, anything is possible. This too, that too. It's as if they just tell the patient to lie down under the knife, but we only reveal the exact type of surgery after the operation.

• Karácsony will be the candidate for prime minister, regardless of the pre-election jamboree, Klári, Peti, and the other participants in the still running category. And performance, of course.

• The extreme right has also fallen into the opposition cake, but that's no problem, it will redefine itself a little. Let's say that mouse turns into cake slices. Of course, strictly only after the elections, because why bother.

As the saying goes, "Omnes viae Romam ducunt", i.e. "All roads lead to Rome", however, in the case of our opposition, the formula is even simpler: they successfully reached Gyurcsány all the way to Gyurcsány in ten years .

That's performance, isn't it?
