The Gyurcsány-party shadow government was also discussed in the program 48 minutes - Host: Tamás Lánczi, whose guests this time are political scientist Balázs Böcskei, research director of the IDEA Institute and G. Fodor Gábor, the XXI. They were the strategic director of the Century Institute.
Tamás Lánczi recalled that the Democratic Coalition formed a shadow government, and he asked his guests about this.
Political scientist Balázs Böcskei, research director of the IDEA Institute, said that the shadow government is an existing construct in the Anglo-Saxon countries. It works in two-party systems, and according to the political scientist, it is in Hungary, since there is a party with understandable support opposite the strong ruling party. He believes that the opposition alternative is institutionalized in the shadow government of the DK and why
they are the strongest opposition party
there is nothing surprising in the fact that the Gyurcsány party violates this.
Gábor G. Fodor, the XXI. The strategic director of the Szazad Institute pointed out that the shadow government was announced a few months after a historic defeat. Gergely Arató is an interesting symbol, since he is responsible for the implementation of the government program in the shadow government, so he is responsible for nothing, since
the shadow government does nothing.
The whole puppet show is about Gyurcsány cleaning up the opposition side.
Balázs Böcskei believes that the shadow government is a tool to reorganize the space of power, but also a tool to present an alternative to government policy. The pre-selection, which was previously considered a miracle weapon, can be used in a different situation. Currently, neither Jobbik nor MSZP is considered a significant force, so DK does not need to involve them in the cooperation. He sees that the shadow government of DK is a problem for those who have not been able to increase their popularity for years. There is a need for this and we need to get moving.
Tamás Lánczi also asked his guests about the roster of the shadow government, what they thought of these faces, who could hardly be called new.
According to Balázs Böcskei, the list has no message and we have not yet heard members of the shadow government speak in this position. The standard is what the spoken word is. Declarations matter, outlining the public policy alternative.
According to G. Gábor Fodor
the shadow government is incapable of action, "paper can handle anything".
That's not what the world is about, it's not how they talk during a crisis, but whether a country overcomes the crisis or it overcomes them. The shadow government is unable to do this because it does not have a mandate to act.
Tamás Lánczi also pointed out the lack of a government program.
According to Balázs Böcskei, it would be "dangerous to life" to give a program in such a time of crisis, when everything is constantly changing. The function of the shadow government is not this, but to provide government criticism and public policy alternatives.
