Of course, not only Márky-Zay disagrees with the government's stop on gasoline prices, but also several opposition parliamentarians. We are used to the opposition's bickering, but on this issue, the people who say it are going against their own fans as well, as the survey proves. There's just one catch. It's easy for someone who has a high income and doesn't have to pay a penny for gas. Because, as is well known, the representatives have the gas card provided by the Parliament hidden in their pockets, which means that they are spending taxpayers' money, so they don't care how much HUF the fuel costs.

Marx had a good saying: Being determines consciousness.

We would add: the meeting point of the representative determines his position.
