This time, an opposition sociologist professor corrected the prime ministerial candidate Péter Márki-Zay, who called the price caps for certain basic foodstuffs stupid.
"You can have fun with chicken butt, but it's the only meat dish for more than twenty percent of people. And a few forints really do matter to them," wrote Erzsébet Szalai, the well-known left-wing sociology professor, on her social media page on Monday. He added: "And this will also be reflected in the election results. If you can ask for a little more empathy from the opposition, especially on the left. Instead of tailgating, there should be social messages and promises that people can understand, not mocking the poor."
The sociologist did not name who inspired his post, but in his usual Sunday video, Péter Márki-Zay, the candidate for Prime Minister of the left, called the government's price cap on some basic food items stupid, and earlier called the chicken back a piece of meaty bones bought by pensioners in shame. The opposition described the fact that the government will freeze the price of granulated sugar, fine wheat flour, sunflower cooking oil, pork leg, chicken breast and chicken back, and 2.8 percent cow's milk at the level of October last year as a sham measure and propaganda.
"Péter Márki-Zay got a political nanny, an experienced overseer for his usual Sunday video sermon, so his running amok was no less. Now he attacked the price cap as if the parties supporting him had not demanded immediate action for months. Yes, you guessed it, he also used the word »stupid«. Only down," commented Csaba Dömötör, the parliamentary state secretary of the Prime Minister's Cabinet Office, on Márki-Zay's statement, and on the fact that his Sunday check-in was already under the tutelage of press chief Simon András.
According to Atv.hu, the presidents of the opposition parties met again over the weekend, and with Márki-Zay's knowledge, but still without him, they discussed the issues of the alliance. This time the common list was the main topic. According to the portal's information, the parties were able to say no to the new request of the joint prime minister candidate, after previously rejecting his request for the seventh faction. Márki-Zay also proposed that at least three Roma representative candidates be given a running place on the joint list, but this request was not fulfilled either. Earlier, the winner of the primary had already threatened to publicly condemn his political allies if they said no again.
"The state cannot intervene in who considers themselves a church. After the change of government, there will be real freedom of religion, as it was in the past," stated Péter Márki-Zay during his visit to Gábor Iványi, head of the Hungarian Evangelical Brotherhood (MET). The Hungarian state revoked MET's church status in 2011, and the Iványis' organization owes hundreds of millions of forints to the tax authorities.
Based on Márki-Zay's statement, the hundreds of organizations that are currently operating, such as the Spiritual Church of the Lights of Arcadia, the Independent Spiritual Order of Human Opportunity, the White Eagle Lodge, the Karmic Congregation of Unnatural Hopelessness or the Universal Life "religious movement".
