The other dwarf parties are also suffering, more and more members are ending up in the ranks of the DK, which shows that Ferenc Gyurcsány's party is slowly crushing the opposition, reports Magyar Nemzet.
Jobbik's XXVII announced for December was canceled due to lack of interest. congress - the party's former chief of staff reported on his social media page. Enikő Molnár said that after the "coup" of Péter Jakab, Jobbik is no longer capable of convening a congress, "they cannot hold a viable congress, or even any." The post reveals that the meeting was planned for December 17, and the invitations were already sent out at the beginning of the month, but at the same time, "the small number of basic organizations that have not yet left the party did not even receive official information about the cancellation of the event." "But what is the Jobbik presidency so afraid of that the officially convened congress will not be held?" - asked the question of Péter Jakab's confidant, who responded as follows:
From being exposed to the country and the world, the party is now only represented by a few paid employees. The activists have run out, there is no support, what we have is a few hundred million, which the management is still quickly consuming. It is not by chance that Márton Gyöngyösi holds "conversations" for just a few people in several counties, which he announces to Jobbik members.
According to János Zila, an analyst at the Center for Fundamental Rights, although it is not known exactly why the party could not hold its congress, its failure may point to the agony of the party organization. - Jobbik has lost a lot of its strength since 2018, and today it is struggling to raise its support even close to the threshold for entering the parliament - said the analyst.
Jobbik is not the only opposition party that cannot deal with the lack of support. Almost all of the dwarf parties on the left are finding their way, and more and more of their members are ending up with DK, which is apparently crushing the smaller parties.
