Political idiocy and the efforts of idiot politicians are not a new phenomenon in the world. There are countless examples in history, from Emperor Nero to Stalin, Hitler, Mihály Károlyi to one or another EU leader today. Unfortunately, political idiocy has taken over the world today, János Somogyi believes. The lawyer and political publicist gave an interview for Gondola.

Gondola: - In the last 33 years, many different isms have competed in domestic politics, and idiocy is emerging more and more forcefully among them. Although we could often smile, it is a risk in war-torn times.

"Unfortunately, political idiocy has taken over the world today, and the number of idiot politicians has risen to a peak." So much so that in the so-called civilized West, it has gained so much space against natural reality, normality, and common sense, which poses a threat to all of humanity. It is boring to mention the demented US president, or the "dark green" German ministers (for example, Habeck , who gets nauseous when he hears the word patriotism), or the EU's Timmermans , who would clean the dirty clothes by airing them instead of washing them, etc. the rest. Compared to these, our scumbags, Péter Márki-Zay, Péter Jakab, Ákos Hadházy and the others, who are just self-adoring, confused-headed, careerists , who are unable to realize that the time of their political role-play is over and that they no longer have any place in Hungarian political life, in fact their continued presence is harmful to the country and ridiculous in the eyes of the people. Ferenc Gyurcsány is a little different. He is also a mentally deranged, narcissistic figure, but he is a Bolshevik, with the devilish cynicism and character of Cippola. He is in politics for fun, he enjoys being the king in the populous opposition camp that lacks all talent. His money is as much as chaff, he doesn't drive it, but to be on top. They are equally harmful to Hungarian political public life, because they mislead people, because they cause confusion, because they destroy the international perception of the country.

Gondola: - More than a decade and a half ago, an extremist politician announced on television that he was a regular rent-seeker. Despite this, this monk still sits in parliament and draws a huge salary. "This is part of democracy," say the political scientists .

- "Democracy is the worst form of government, but a better one has not yet been invented," said Churchill , the legendary British Prime Minister. (And someone said that dictatorship is the best form of government, but unfortunately there are no intelligent dictators.) So democracy can fit a lot of things. The professional politician even has the right of immunity, that is, he can slander and lie on all kinds of public issues with impunity and in some cases cause considerable damage to the country. Perhaps it is enough to remind you of one or another statement of the current members of parliament, or of the Hungarian opposition members who voted against the interests of Hungary on all issues in the European Union.

Gondola: - An extreme public figure has just been asked to lead the successor of the state party. The monk pretends to be childish and has also announced that he insists on keeping the red carnation and the pro-state name. Has idiocy become so dominant in the given political field that they fall for this childish trick and elevate the once failed politician above them again?

– The time of the MSZP has expired. Either with or without Attila Mesterházy This was already decided when Ferenc Gyurcsány left them and created the DK ( Klára Dobrev ...? Because the party is neither Democratic nor Coalition), which has now devoured the MSZP. Nothing proves this better than the fact that István Újhelyi on his feet, did not accept the MSZP presidential candidacy, and is even desperately looking for the opportunity to continue to be an EU representative from 2024, but in what jersey? In fact, it is no longer of any importance who will be the new and last president (co-president) of the agonizing MSZP.
