The former Prime Minister candidate explained the election defeat and Hungarian society with Róbert Puzsér, who declared: "Even the patriotic view was brought to Hungary by Western companies."
The former Prime Minister candidate of the left had a conversation with Róbert Puzsér. Péter Márki-Zay sat down at a table with the critic at the free university of the movement he founded. The future of the opposition was also discussed in the conversation, but in the second half of the program, Róbert Puzsér drew the conclusion that the problem lies at deeper levels than the Fidesz-opposition relationship, in Hungarian society, so change can only be expected with a change in culture and mentality.

The critic traced his thought process back to a shampoo commercial decades ago, when the celebrity appearing in the commercial declared: there is the money that makes your hair dandruff. According to Puzsér, this kind of thinking existed in Hungarian society until then, but after that it became public morality, as it was " said on TV ". This took the burden of guilt off their shoulders, continued Puzsér.

"And when the Hungarian society looks at the opposition that takes the money from László Kövér, then the Hungarian people feel that it's good. HUF 3 million a month? I would hire him too!' ' Puzsér explained, according to him

„as long as professing morality ridicules someone who is ridiculed for professing what he believes to be right, then there is nothing to talk about”.

Márki-Zay began his reaction with the results of his four and a half year mayorship. According to him, he cannot keep everything from his election promises, but " we have shown the culture " that is needed.

"As long as we move in a vicious circle of theft, lies and poverty in Hungary, there is no way out. I spent five years in North America, but in my life I have always worked for Western companies, and I see that culture, I see what makes it better. I have no illusions: I don't think Hungarians are worse than Westerners, but mostly something has changed since the Kádár system. There, it became accepted that a little money is a little football, and that you can take it home from the joint," declared Márki-Zay.

However, the steep train of thought only followed after that: according to Márki-Zay, " if people are not nurtured like bonsai trees, they are not pruned, pruned, and set in a direction, then like Golding's Lord of the Flies, they go in the wrong direction." According to the failed Prime Minister candidate

Christianity is also such a social transformation attempt.
It was later revealed that Márki-Zay has "left-wing children" with whom the utopian used to argue about socialist experiments.

At the end of his monologue, Márki-Zay declared: "Even the patriotic view was brought to Hungary by Western companies". " We didn't demand that the Hungarian product is good, it was brought in by Western companies. Western companies came and said that it must be written that it is a Hungarian product and the flag must be displayed. Hungarians would have laughed at this in the nineties," said Márki-Zay.
