It seems that the reigning mayor was knocked out of the water before Sunday's contest, and in his girlish confusion, he put everything together on Facebook due to the withdrawal of his challenger from Fidesz...
"So the play is over, as we said before: the dark and cynical political deal was born. Dávid Vitézy is the candidate of Fidesz, NER and Power.
This deal is based on voter betrayal and fraud. Fidesz betrayed its voters in the same way it betrayed Budapest in the last five years. And Vitézy and Ungár tried to deceive their voters by lying about a power play as an opposition city policy.
We know that Fidesz will demand the price of this from Vitézy, they want to make Budapest pay for the Orbán-Hungarian pact. The government hates the district's specialist shops, they want to centralize our theaters and cultural institutions, their real estate oligarchs, Tiborcz, Mária Schmidt, Garancsi can do business at the expense of Budapest, and as before, Lőrinc Mészáros can count on Dávid Vitézy's commissions. We know their methods, we know that this is the real price of the pact.
I believe that the people of Budapest see through the sieve. I only ask that no one let you be led or deceived. The stake is whether we will let the power take over our city. The stake is whether we will continue to stand up for ourselves, whether we will stand up for the values and principles of Budapest. The stake is whether we can preserve Budapest as a free, green and solidary place. The people of power, or the power of the people. We will vote on this this Sunday."
