According to Bod, Gyurcsány's economic policy was "scandalous", but it seems that despite the successful economic policy of the last decade, he would rather help Gyurcsány's party to power. Ákos Péter Bod told Makronóm that he supports the opposition, but admitted that it would not be possible to adopt a constitution with a half majority in the event of an opposition victory.

In the interview given to Makronóm, Bod insisted that Karácsony or Fekete-Győr did not fail in the primary election, according to him, they simply did not receive enough votes.

In the interview published in the Mandiner weekly, the professor was asked why he participated in the founding of the 99 Movement, the Everyone's Hungary Movement, why he campaigned for Márki-Zay and why he advises Momentum. As he said, he helps anyone who asks for his opinion, and moreover, "a regime has emerged in Hungary that does not offer a sustainable development path."

Economic successes don't matter: according to him, the country is falling apart
Although he considers Gyurcsány's economic policy to be scandalous, according to Bod, although the Gyurcsány party is the biggest force in the opposition, this does not represent a threat, and Gyurcsány's economic policy would not return.

"For two decades we were second in the Visegrád region, today we are the last, we have to realize this," Professor Oláh told Dániel, and Makronóm drew his attention to the fact that we have just overtaken Slovakia in terms of economic development, and we are moving head-to-head with Poland, while the International Monetary Fund expects the greatest growth in Hungary this year in the entire region.

"I also hope that there will be an increase this year, after last year there was a rather large, five percent drop. But now you are telling me, an economist, macro data, what can I say, I know these better.

However, the macro data, which can be interpreted in many different ways, do not give an answer as to whether the political force that has been ruling for ten or so years can withstand my personal support. No. That's why I try to help those who want a different future," revealed the former Minister of Industry and Trade, who was the president of the Hungarian National Bank until 1994 and was also a government advisor during the first Orbán government.

"Can it be considered a victory for the right that even the left tries to hide behind a person who considers himself a right-winger in the hope of victory?" asked the Macron.

According to Bod: "this 'left' is a trick that was pushed on the united opposition. Although it depicts today's Hungary, it is not left-wing. In my opinion, the word is a tool of government propaganda, it is also a political product."

The professor was refuted the other day by Péter Márki-Zay himself, when he referred to himself as a leftist. "Contrary to Viktor Orbán, we on the left...we will also pursue corruption in the opposition," said the candidate for prime minister of the left in an interview with Hír TV.
