The possible exclusion of Enikő Molnár could be an excellent "casus belli" for Péter Jakab to finally break with Jobbik and to found a possible new political party, Gergely Erdős stated in an interview with Origo. An analyst from the Center for Political Analysis of the Századvég Foundation stated: the new leadership of Jobbik has been "pushing" Jakab out of the party for weeks, who is apparently just waiting for the right moment to leave as strong and prepared as possible, and to take the largest possible slice out of Jobbik .
According to Erdős, party politicking and political work in general require a certain level of discipline and loyalty to the party's community, which by definition is a fundamental requirement not only for politicians, but for all members of the party. These expectations can be considered the basis of party-like functioning.
Jobbik's leadership may have a legitimate reason to exclude Enikő Molnár (and there is also a chance of Molnár's voluntary departure), since the "disclosure" of the party's internal affairs indicates a loss of trust that makes future joint work impossible.
In other words: NEITHER PARTY HAS AN INTEREST IN CONTINUING THE COOPERATION.
Enikő Molnár is Péter Jakab's main and indispensable ally. We can also reasonably assume that the former cabinet chief has played a greater role in shaping Jakab's political actions and personal political character for a long time than was visible to outside observers. It should also not be forgotten that
THE POSSIBLE EXCLUSION OF MOLNÁR COULD BE AN EXCELLENT "CASUS BELLIT" FOR PÉTERN JAKAB FOR THE FINAL BREAK WITH THE RIGHTS AND FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A POSSIBLE NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
To the suggestion that Jobbik has been in crisis for a long time, and according to the leaked internal correspondence, Márton Gyöngyösi asked Jakab to rest, that he expects him in the campaign in two years, until then he asks for strategic silence, Erdős replied:
FOR SUCH AN IMPULSIVE PUBLIC CHARACTER AS PÉTER JAKAB, WHO LIKES TO PLACE HIMSELF IN THE CENTER, "STRATEGIC SILENCE" MEANS POLITICAL DEATH, THAT'S WHY IT IS NOT A PATH TO FOLLOW.
Márton Gyöngyösi either intentionally imposed unacceptable conditions in order to force Jakab to leave voluntarily, or he simply did not take political realities into account when formulating his proposals.
For Jakab, the limitation of his speaking opportunities would only be acceptable if he decided to almost completely abandon his political ambitions. On the other hand, the signs clearly point in the direction of Péter Jakab replacing the political environment that has become unpleasant and hostile for him (that is, Jobbik) with a community where he can continue his political career according to his own rules.
