Imre Komjáthi, the deputy president of the MSZP, whose good work has already taken him to the position of a member of parliament and to a monthly fixed salary of millions, clearly demonstrated in his appearance on ATV (Monday) that he also actively contributed to the low flight of the socialists, to their popularity of around one percent, which is intensively converging towards the end - writes József K. Horváth on 888.hu.
Of course, you can't be surprised if a party like Komjáthi works with blades, whose indispensable red T-shirt was emblazoned with the words "Work, bread!" subtitle. At least in words, this is important to them. But in reality?
And when asked about the biggest investment in Hungary's history so far, the future HUF 3,000 billion Chinese battery factory in Debrecen, where 9,000 people will be employed, and for which an investment comparable to that has so far only been established in Germany in Europe, then as a politician who grew out of the trade union movement he would not only punch the air with joy and would say "That's right!" but start to scowl. This is what he was able to say when asked, "That's good news, isn't it?" .
"It's not good news because it was again unprepared, considering that even the local government representatives learned about certain data and certain decisions afterwards."
Sweet God! A value of 3,000 billion, the work of 9,000 people, and then he relies on the information of local government representatives , which from this point of view is water eight.
And that's not all.
Komjáthi introduces the viewer to his experience that he is not afraid of the negative relationship of the Chinese owners with the trade unions, because he had good experience with other Chinese employers in this matter.
Of course, he also has problems with the government regarding this giga investment. With the government that brought this here. The one that has overcome the fact that there is anything to talk about at all. About which the Slovak Minister of Finance, Igor Matovič, remarked enviously the other day that "Hungary is speeding like a rocket, but Slovakia looks like a poor relative next to it."
After that, Komjáthi can say:
"We prefer the government's attitude. In many cases, we see that the employer - whether it is a multinational - better assesses that it is in his interest that the employees work in good working conditions than the government, that it takes care of those checks and balances in the world of work as well, that it is indeed good people to work in good working conditions and for good salaries."
It seems that it does not occur to Komjáthi that if there are no jobs, there will be no bread on the family's table. Although it is politically very promising to fight about checks and balances, no one is interested.
When the left was in power, 3.7 million people worked, now we can count on 4.7 million workers.
Komjáthi....proved in a few minutes that neither he nor the MSZP can be happy about news that the larger community, the economy, and society are very happy about. Probably the only thing that is important to them is what they think will bring them some political steak for the kitchen.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that, according to political analysts, the process at the end of which the Socialists will soon disappear into the political abyss seems irreversible.
