"Ágnes, that worked out well, just the potential voter."

In a joint campaign photo, Ágnes Kunhalmi appears with MSZP co-president Emil Sebes, a survivor of the Second World War siege of Budapest, who has been attending tradition-preserving meetings for close to ninety years, and regularly walks the Eruption Memorial Tour.

The man was on his way home when he was approached by a socialist politician campaigning near his house - whom he did not recognize - at which time the joint photo was taken, which was used without consulting Emil Sebes.

"I campaigned in Pestszentimre this morning, because I am running for the election again. The support is touching, I know that together we will succeed again," wrote Kunhalmi in his Facebook post on Wednesday. In one of the attached pictures, the co-chairman of the MSZP is shown together with Emil Sebes,

the man Glory to the heroes! he wears a T-shirt with the inscription, the emblem of the commemorative tour on the day of the eruption, and the left-wing politician smiles and shows him his campaign publication.

One of the commenters ironically noted under the post: "Ágnes, that's well done, the potential voter."

By the way, the socialist politician was campaigning near the house of Emilék Sebes on Wednesday. On his way home, he met Kunhalmi, whom he did not recognize, but because he was approached by a smiling, pretty lady, he stopped for a while, and that's when the ominous photo was taken.

The fact that Emil Sebes does not sympathize with the left, to put it mildly, is also clear from the report prepared by Magyar Nemzet last year. Emil Sebes, now 89, was an aviation engineer in the Ministry of Defense for thirty years, and his father was an aviation liaison officer in Miklós Horthy's National Army. He keeps more than six hundred books on the Second World War on his bookshelf, which covers the entire wall, and collects them. Even at the age of eighty-eight, he dressed in World War II uniforms, went to traditionalist meetings, and even participated in military demonstrations with tanks, where a few years ago he met the grandson of General Erwin Rommel But Emil Sebes also regularly walked the sixty-kilometer Eruption Memorial Tour, because the siege he endured on Attila út and Sziklakórház left a deep mark on him, and despite his young age, he not only lived passively in an air defense shelter.

"We were raised to love our country at school, and at the age of thirteen we were already taken to military training every Sunday. The Soviets had already occupied most of the city when our combat instructor came and announced that there was an alert, so everyone should gather in uniform in the gymnasium," the veteran recalled.

During the siege, they lived on Attila út below the Castle in Buda. In January 1945, the German-Hungarian units pushed back to the Castle Quarter ran out of almost all their food, ammunition and gasoline. Everyone was given a large battery-powered lamp, we had to place these along the Attila road so that the planes coming from the Buda mountains could see where to land - he previously recalled the events to our newspaper.

"I was shocked when I found out after the regime change that I was still being watched until 1984! In 1948, we were accused of "group armed organization aimed at overthrowing the Hungarian People's Republic", even though we were only guilty of scouting. We went on trips in secret, where we sometimes shot with weapons collected during the World War. We didn't know that someone had joined us. Two of my boy scout friends were hanged, the others got 15 years, and they screamed in my face at Andrássy út 60: "You get a tie, you'll die anyway, you fascist!". At three in the morning, the Ávós officers in leather jackets called Sebesés to search the house. Emil then spent twenty-eight days in pretrial detention, and then nine months in the internment camp in Kistarcsa, where the pribéks beat his right index finger with a rubber stick, with the comment that "you won't shoot at your comrades with this anymore, from now on we'll get manicures every day." - remembered Emil Sebes, who said to the Hungarian Nemzet's interest: he considers it outrageous that a politician, in violation of personal rights, published the photo of him without consulting him.

Someone who is a proud functionary of the Communist Successor Party!
