Politics also has its great moments. When the conspiracy comes to an end, the veils fall, and after the leg that wanted to be hidden, stubbornly trying to find its way out, the horse itself is suddenly in front of us. Everything will become clear, details that were kept in the dark, moments that were only felt and guessed for a long time will become facts, intentions, driving forces will emerge, and with them the entire journey. This also happened on Sunday, when Ferenc Gyurcsány decided to guide Hungary in a Facebook post on where it is going.
This short text will probably be quoted for a long time, because essentially everyone could learn from it where he belongs, what he has to do, what role he is assigned in the latest act of the play played in the theater of the Democratic Coalition.
It has been known until now, several people have written several times in recent years, that the fallen prime minister and his party are trying to assimilate the actors of the left-wing political world. The reaction was mostly that we should stop "talking", since many years have passed since then, and it has no relevance. The answer has now arrived. For everyone. For civilians, political parties, the elderly and the young alike.
"There is no place for many nuances here. Not because there are no nuances. Because they are not important now," writes the DK president, who promises to restore democracy, so to speak, and one suddenly starts reading about the black-and-white world of the ever-increasing class struggle and the like. The nuances were not important there either, although the existence was as it is, the majority's is not important.
If we look back at the past years from here, the events, the path taken by the Democratic Coalition and Ferenc Gyurcsány, who and what he stood for, what he said to whom and what, and when and to what extent these actions and sentences came into a really interesting light they were honest, as he regarded all civil and political actors as components of the large left-wing political party to be built under his leadership. What can be thought about the importance of cooperation and the importance of innovative primaries for democracy? Was it true as long as there seemed to be a chance for Klára Dobrev to win? And the rest, and the rest…
However, one thing can be said: Ferenc Gyurcsány learned to be patient. At that time, his lack of patience led him to fall, he was bubbly even when it would have been better to step back a little. Now he was able to wait for the opposition and its clumsy prime minister candidate to be defeated in the election, for the rival who was looking for another way to go and give birth, and then he set up his party's shadow government, and he now writes confidently and modestly: "In the period up to 2026 or the Democratic Coalition can organize the opposition into an effective force, or no one. It happened this way."
Ferenc Gelencsér, the president of Momentum, responded to Gyurcsány's post: "we want to organize an opposition that is really capable of changing the government, not one that has a thick and impenetrable glass ceiling over it because of the past." This is clearly a war of opposition at this point. The question for the majority of Hungarians is whether they want such a horse...
2022 plus:
Gyurcsány has a bacon maker, and he also created a good little salami maker. But everyone knows that you can only march with Gyurcsány's shadow army until someone turns off the electricity over there. In this energy-poor period, there will be more and more chances for this.
