After another serious burnout, let it be a basic premise: the opposition's serial failure is not the fault of the government accused of dictatorship!
Drebin Joe Biden, there's a serious history of microphones being left on. There were TV presenters who fell into the trap of failing, but sometimes some explanation was enough. Well, now Momentum president Ferenc Gelencsér is also enriching this last circle, at least for the time being there have been no serious consequences in his already not rosy political career as a result of the fact that he unintentionally shared his quick and concise self-evaluation of his own speech with those eager for news of public life the other day at the autumn opening session of the Parliament .
Wow, I really fucked this up”
- he responded to his keynote speech ahead of everyone else.
So, in short, into the microphone. Grievous. He couldn't tell his fellow party member sitting next to him, so he told everyone. Before we get involved in the aggravation, let's state: although some people talk (not completely unfounded) about the emptying of parliamentary debates, this venue is still the most symbolic and prestigious place for weighing political arguments and counter-arguments. It is the field of people's representation, the backdrop of law-making, and although the opposition understandably does not cultivate this genre due to its size,
on the opening day of a session, in response to the Prime Minister's quasi-programme speech, the minimum is that those who, according to their confession, would govern the country better, at least prove this at the level of words and sentences.
This does not require a campaign machine or an intellectual hinterland either, this is certainly the field of individual performance. The politician is tested.
And so Mr. Gelencsér, the statesman, who previously chose the word "endurance" with a bad memory in an online challenge, once again spectacularly failed on this course. It was not in vain that the Prime Minister, responding to the speeches of the faction leaders individually, said the following:
"I also wanted to reply to my fellow representative Gelencsér, but I saw that his comment was nothing more than a hopeless struggle with reason. I can't do anything about it, but I'm rooting for him."
Borrowing the analogy of LMP co-chairman Péter Ungár, the secondary shame caused by the weak, stammering and incoherent presentation of Gelencsér's exposé to the opposition ChatGPT text was only enhanced by the unsolicited and obscene admission, followed by the amazing communication of Momentum's press department:
"After his speech yesterday, Ferenc Gelencsér practiced self-criticism with one of the most used Hungarian swear words."
And why?
Because "that's how he saw it as justified".
Okay, we're not arguing.
At the time, ex-president András Fekete-Győr was kind enough to burn himself in an otherwise not particularly hostile Partizán interview, and then to share his electric scooter affair with us in VV Zsolti's specifically supportive program. Not to mention the eerie similarities he discovered between nuclear power plants and solar panels.
And then we add here that the momentarians are investing in the Brussels machine sucking up our country with a zeal that hardly wins the approval of the social majority, competing in this field also with the Gyurcsány party, which wants the United States of Europe, which does not indicate particularly strong political background work. Even if we consider politics basically as an activity aimed at obtaining a representative majority and improving the situation of society.
However, this is more of a moral issue. On the other hand, it is a basic requirement for someone to be correct in an interview or in a parliamentary response, it requires practice and talent, and Momentum is performing worse and worse in this area as well; so it's no wonder that, despite (or partly because of) the comical cordon-breaking campaign, their support, even in these times of crisis, hovers at most around the parliamentary threshold.
In summary: lack of political competence. Not a little, a lot.
However, it is not true that the necessary conditions for this would not be available to the disintegrated opposition, also supported by dollars, and thus to the purples. If, after a Covid epidemic and an energy crisis, and some inflationary "assistance", they can appeal to the potentially disaffected people so much, then it must be said: they are unfit for the task!
Of course, many other circumstances can be brought up, for example the internal disputes arising from the bitter positional struggle or the leading role of Ferenc Gyurcsány, let's not get so involved now, there will still be an opportunity!
Let it suffice to say: dear opposition, dear Momentum! If, once again, someone from your side justifies the series of electoral failures by the overpowering of Fidesz or the elimination of democracy, and this is revealed abroad, then we will be forced to live again and again with the words of President Gelencsér: "No, no, you screwed this up!"
That's it.
