The fact that Péter Márki-Zay presents himself as a conservative is just a communication ploy, he actually hopes for more votes from this, said the XXI. Század Intézet is a leading analyst in Kossuth Rádió's Sunday newspaper program.
Dániel Deák, the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely wants to win over voters outside the left, thinking that it is not possible to win an election with the opposition camp alone. The prime minister-candidate debate has already revealed that Péter Márki-Zay is not thinking about a right-wing program at all, and in an older statement he even called for cooperation with Ferenc Gyurcsány and praised the infamous Öszöd speech, he added.
Erik Tóth , the leading analyst of the Center for Fundamental Rights, the primary election was played in advance. For example, it has been suspected for a long time that one of the candidates for prime minister would withdraw, and there were far fewer constituency candidates than there could have been. Limiting supply at this level would not have been possible without background negotiations, he emphasized.
The analyst also called it strange that Gergely Karácsony withdrew in favor of Péter Márki-Zay, who has neither a party nor a national organization behind him. At the same time, he is certain that in 2022 DK will belong to the largest faction among the opposition parties, so, as he said, regardless of the final result of the primary election, Ferenc Gyurcsány will remain the protagonist of the left.
Erik Tóth noted that even with a united start, success is not certain if the voters feel that the opposition is only driven by anti-Orbán. At the same time, they have practically no other message, and in the local governments they regularly prove that their ability to govern has not improved, he added.
The analyst does not rule out the possibility that the differences between the opposition parties will intensify over time, as the compilation of the national list may cause significant tensions. He also considers it possible that the victims will withdraw from the alliance citing pre-election fraud, so that in 2022 there will no longer be unity on the opposition side.
