According to István Tarlós, the opposition side lined up behind Péter Márki-Zay apparently lacks the ability to govern.

The former mayor explained: the Gyurcsány coalition is deceiving the voters regarding the real stakes of the April election. Márki-Zays would copy the solutions of Western European countries in such far-reaching issues as the management of illegal migration

- To an outside observer, the opposition team does not show the ability to govern - unless we consider the angry outbursts of Péter Márki-Zay or Péter Jakab - and rather it seems as if they are only motivated by an exalted desire for power - stated István Tarlós. As the former mayor pointed out, there is no unified program on the opposition side, and they do not even show a unified identity or ideology, while their methods and communication have become quite drastic.

- Their candidate for prime minister, Márki-Zay, who recently returned home from abroad, is still trying to become prime minister as the mayor of a small town with little political experience. Based on what performance? asked the former first man of Budapest.

"Furthermore," continued Tarlós, "Márki-Zay starts right away by saying that he would overturn the constitution with even a half-parliamentary majority, and announces in advance that he would not accept the result if he did not actually win." What is this? A pre-announced coup attempt? Driven by his desire for power, he would already marry fire with water. He seduces conservative voters with his suspiciously overemphasized and increasingly less credible Christianity and right-wingness, while quite a few of his announced plans are opposed to Christian teachings, explained the former mayor.

He also drew attention to the fact that Márki-Zay, calling himself a right-wing politician, mixed up the juice with Ferenc Gyurcsány and Momentum.

- The opposition's candidate for prime minister promises to enforce completely different values ​​at the same time, which is of course nonsense, especially since he doesn't even have his own party. He also attacks the reduction in utility costs - in other words, it seems that he would free up energy prices - and the 13th monthly pension, the biggest winner of which is the population. Like Gergely Karácsony, Márki-Zay also openly supports Western-style immigration policy and radical LGBTQ aspirations, István Tarlós listed.

The former mayor also touched on the fact that Péter Márki-Zay offended a significant part of society with his various statements. - Every day, he routinely insults the entire electorate of his opponents, sometimes the entire pensioner society, sometimes indiscriminately his political opponents. His way of expressing himself and his language also cause offense among the opposition media, which are only one-sidedly sensitive to this. In terms of false paradoxes, he surpasses Gergely Karácsony. He also says that there is a lot of hatred in the country. On the other hand, if someone follows Márki-Zay's statements, he can see a chain of contradictions and hear bitter hatred and threats from the mouth of the Prime Minister candidate of the Gyurcsány coalition, assessed the former city manager.

According to István Tarlós, the opposition coalition is a "power-grabbing humbug", just as the primary election was already.

– Eight to ten percent of those eligible to vote participated in the primary election, depending on whether someone is willing to count differently from the rules of two-round elections. Among those who voted in the first round, 200,000 people who did not go to the second round for unknown reasons were also considered participants in the election. In this primary election, Karácsony lost to Klára Dobrev (DK), but she was well ahead of Márki-Zay. Originally, it was said that the first two best candidates would face each other in the second round (and that would be normal anyway). Karácsony inexplicably withdrew in favor of Márki-Zay. Although withdrawals may occur during similar voting, Karácsony did so reluctantly and forcedly, Tarlós pointed out.
