Ferenc Gyurcsány asked his listeners to think back to where the opposition parties started, what their goals were, who they considered rivals. Now these six parties are together, their leaders have recently been sitting at the same table every other day, because they agree that they want a European, democratic, civil Hungary, he said.
This opposition was created by fate to challenge Viktor Orbán's regime. In the election, their fate will be decided by whether or not the people want the current prime minister and his world of power and culture to remain. If you like, those who say that the election will be a referendum on this system are right, he said.
He emphasized that the opposition nominates Péter Márki-Zay as prime minister and if he wins a majority in the election, he will be elected prime minister in the parliament. That's okay, because that's what the opposition voters decided
- stressed the president of DK.
He pointed out that when they support a prime ministerial candidate, they are basically championing a policy, which is significantly more important than any issue of detail, because "it is about our country". He added: there is no compromise in this and there is no room for uncertainty.
Ferenc Gyurcsány said that he thinks it is natural that after 12 years of government, a significant part of the people are fed up with the government. The average length of marriages in Hungary is 14 years, so that a significant part of the country wouldn't be fed up with a power that they didn't want for a minute after 12 years? - He told.
He evaluated it as follows: the "Orbán power" is tired and "otherwise it is a strained power". The cabinet is considered tired when it lacks new thoughts and ideas. He considers power that is not able to live according to its own rules and principles, to participate in public life, to be stretched.
Politics cannot be fair if it does not comply with its own declared principles and cannot be moral when it turns out that "so much public law hogwash has never been committed before" around the ruling party's parliamentary faction, continued Ferenc Gyurcsány, who, according to the "tension" there will be consequences, the "Orbán world" is actually not brave, but loud.
The president of the DK said that the Orbán government is not strong, but harsh and not even Christian.
It must be made clear that " here we are dealing with pagan barbarians" who try to wrap themselves in the holy cause of Christianity to forget all the hogwash they do
- said Ferenc Gyurcsány.
Ferenc Gyurcsány called the biggest difference in perception between the government and the opposition where Hungary is historically: Moscow, Ankara or Berlin, Paris is the reference point. Another dilemma is whether the power belongs to the people or the government, or whether "this state is a thief and this government is a thief," he added.
He stated: the main political tendencies of the majority of European countries and today's opposition agree on these three topics; and it is a left-wing idea that it is impossible to allow more and more people to live in the Hungary of the left-behind alongside a narrow wealthy class.
He said that Hungary has a long tradition of accepting arbitrariness and demanding arbitrariness, Hungary is slowly civilizing, but the opposition must create the opportunity for people to dare and know how to be free, and for freedom not to be a threat, but an opportunity for them.
The opposition wants opportunities to be fairly distributed by fairly restricting and regulating freedom
- said Ferenc Gyurcsány.
Outlining the possible future after the election, he said that roughly two and a half million voters support both the opposition and the government. We have to learn to live together, "because we can't do anything else," he said, adding: whoever governs must represent the country, but the current government does not represent the country, only its own, and "neglects everything else."
