The response of János Lantos, the chairman of the Labor Cabinet of Mi Hazánk, is reassuring, as he states at length that he agrees with my opinion. Thanks.

However, I would like to make it clear that Mi Hazánk Mozgalom operates as a party and is trying to position itself as a power factor, focusing on the upcoming parliamentary elections.
On the other hand, CÖF-CÖKA was founded in 2009, expressing the will of the citizens and becoming the mediator of the opinion of the majority of Hungarians. As civilians, we assumed an opposition position at that time. Our accepted idealism has not changed since then. We stand by our Christian-national-progressive conservative views. According to their history, the parties that today are called opposition swore to an ideology in their original parties. In the time that has passed since then, their politicians, forgetting their active behavior at the time, jump from one party to another like "nickel fleas". Mi Hazánk Mozgalom changed colors similarly, being coached by Jobbik.
We do not consider it devilish to stand up for measures that are closest to our idealism and acceptable to us, even knowing that Fidesz-KDNP governs with a two-thirds voter mandate.
Returning to the tasks of the trade unions, I maintain my opinion that it is a tradition of the past to bind trade unions to one party on an invitational basis. It is the right of the heart of the Mi Hazánk Movement to stand up in support of certain employee-related issues considered important to the party.
Their statement that the Mi Hazánk Movement stands alone and exclusively on a popular basis seems exaggerated. The multitude of our peace marches, the number of our intellectual patriots, which gives direction to our work, may be thought-provoking for the Mi Hazánk Movement as well. We have been advocating the renewal of the trade union movement for years, taking into account workplace peace, a family-friendly environment and the employees' proportional wage demands.
