Due to the result of the Jászberény by-election, it may have become urgent for the Gyurcsány party to campaign against the institution of the primary election, since in connection with the victory of the mayor, who could easily re-energize without the support of the DK, the voices urging the selection of candidates and civil cooperation, which would also put the role of the parties in the background, became stronger. . It is strange that Péter Jakab recently shared a video that echoes the DK's position on the issue.

Although Ferenc Gyurcsány hinted in his speech a few days after the April election that he might be preparing for a political showdown with his opponents within the rainbow coalition, it seems that the "confused weeks" announced by the DK leader will drag on for quite a while. The development of the internal power relations of the opposition may depend to a significant extent on whether or not primary elections are held before the municipal voting. Lóránt Budai , was easily re-elected even without the support of the DK, as well as the fact that a group of opposition politicians, Péter Márki-Zay, is saying that civil candidates are needed in the municipal election, while the role of parliamentary parties in the campaign would be minimized.

Thus, DK had an urgent need to reinforce the narrative against the primary election. Interestingly, this position was finally by Péter Jakab the other day by publishing a video on his Facebook page. In it, he explained that the parties with real support should agree on the identity of the candidates, and that the casting is a mistake, since this attempt also failed last year, as a result of which Péter Márki-Zay became the joint prime minister candidate of the rainbow coalition, Kiszelly told Magyar Nemzet Zoltán , director of the Center for Political Analysis of Századvég. - Klára Dobrev spoke at the presentation of the shadow government of the DK that they do not want to make a compromise, as the DK represents a "purely left-wing" program, and this, in her opinion, is incompatible with the other ideological lines of the other opposition parties - explained the analyst.

According to Zoltán Kiszelly, the DK Gergely Karácsony from among the possible left-wing prime minister candidates with its strategy of opposing the primary election.

– If it is not decided in the primary election who will run for mayor next year, then the Gyurcsánys can also run their own candidate. The Gyurcsánys are primarily targeting large cities headed by mayors with no party background, such as Eger, Siófok or Miskolc. In exchange for the fact that the DK does not run its own mayoral candidates, they can negotiate seats, which will allow the Gyurcsány party to integrate into many new local government structures, the director said.
