This topic will also be discussed at this year's Tranzit!
Although the EP representatives of the opposition parties, including Péter Magyar's party, did not take part in the debate, there will be discussions at the expert level, as well as important presentations on economic issues, war and education. Our interview with the Deputy Minister of the Prime Minister's Cabinet Office.
A pardon case, the appearance of Péter Magyar, economic difficulties - in what condition will the Hungarian right-wing community turn to this year's Tranzit festival? According to some analysts, internal disputes are increasing…
Let's start from the fact that the 45 percent result achieved in the EP election is still only a respectable victory. At the same time, our political community always examined the lessons learned in detail after the winning and less successful elections. This work is now also taking place during the summer months. However, it is perhaps more important that the right-wing community also has government responsibility on its shoulders.
We are working to ensure that Hungary is among the winners after the tectonic world political changes. We also see that EU decision-makers are gradually giving up Europe's economic sovereignty.
Therefore, we must also work on increasing Hungary's economic scope even under such circumstances. Not at the level of abstract debates, but in such a way that it can be felt by everyone in everyday life. So the speculations about the perceived or real disputes of the right are interesting, but it is even more important that our country has a long-term winning strategy. Tranzit is the center of this thinking at the end of every August, now for the seventh time.
However, Tranzit also talks about this evaluation based on preliminary statements.
It is natural that everything important and interesting in politics is on the table at Tranziton. It is the meeting point of active communities and the field of political debates. Of the debates about the right, and also of the debates with the opposition. Unfortunately
it is a sad development that neither DK, Momentum, nor Párbeszéd representatives accepted the invitations to debate this summer. They remain physically distant,
while on other days they loudly demand the invitations. It's a strange dichotomy, not to use the word hypocrisy.
And the Tisza Party?
Quite a few newly elected representatives of the Tisza Party also received invitations to debates, but it turned out that Péter Magyar would not allow them to participate, he practically kept them in quarantine, so they would not be there either. Of course, there are so many advantages to this, that transit participants do not have to worry about a left-wing politician taking their phone and throwing it into the water, as happened in the summer.
Would Péter Magyar be a left-wing politician?
It is worth clarifying that he is a liberal according to his self-definition.
In any case, his statements are not much different from the current DK statements.
Maybe it's just that he says it in sunglasses. And if you look at the previous positions of the new Tisza MEPs, it reflects the global liberal mainstream more than anything else. They could have refuted this opinion of ours in the debates, but they don't. It's a shame, because we had something to discuss about the situation in Europe. For example, the economic outlook. More telling than anything else is the fact that the EU can expect a very modest economic growth of 1 percent this year, while the United States can expect almost three times that, not to mention China's 4.6 percent. Hungarian families could also feel the consequences of the bad decisions in Brussels that reflected the expectations of others, among other things in the form of runaway inflation. It didn't have to be this way. We definitely have to eliminate this, just as we do taboo topics.
What do you think?
Take, for example, the explosion of the Nord Stream! It turned out that the perpetrators were Ukrainians, and according to Western newspapers, the Kiev leadership may have known about the whole thing. It is completely absurd that European politics is shrouded in total silence after this. However, from a certain point of view, we are talking about economic mainstays. It really doesn't matter at what price Germany, and indirectly the European economy, receives gas, alternative procurement methods are more expensive. It's no coincidence that
the perpetrators of the bombing justified their action by reducing the number of supply routes to Europe.
Despite all this, we can be quite sure that this question will not be on the agenda of the European Parliament in the fall, but the "Hungarian situation" will be on the twenty-sixth agenda as well. You see, there would have been a lot to talk about with the new Tisza EP representatives!
War will obviously be a theme at the event. How do you assess the impact of the peace mission and the development that the Ukrainians are now fighting on Russian territory near Kursk?
The Prime Minister's travels prove that efforts must and can be made for peace. When the guns fall silent, perhaps the one who took the first steps in negotiations will receive more recognition at the international level. Unfortunately, the events of the past few days still point in the direction of escalation. The fighting has now also extended to the territory of Russia, and Ukraine is convincing its European allies that it can deploy the weapons sent to it at greater distances. A significant change can be expected from the American election, which is still a few weeks away. Tens of thousands more may lose their lives by then, not to mention the lingering economic consequences.
The importance of the next few weeks cannot be exaggerated, it is no coincidence that at Tranzit there will be at least 13 talks about the war or international relations.
Nearly 100 speakers of 30 discussions, including many ministers, will help to think together about what are Hungary's most important tasks in this turbulent period. It will be worth following this either on site in Tihany or afterwards on the Internet.
