According to the constitutional lawyer, Ferenc Gyurcsány can be an unavoidable person in the Capital Assembly.

A political agreement is being formed between Péter Magyar and Gergely Karácsony, in which they would mutually help each other on various issues, Mandiner Jr. quotes. The words of Zoltán Lomnici, scientific director of Századvég, from the to Origo .

The support of Péter Magyar is essential for Gergely Karácsony, mayor of Budapest, since without him he would not be able to obtain a majority in the capital assembly, the analyst indicated.

However, he emphasized that

such an agreement can only be realized if Ferenc Gyurcsány, the president of the Democratic Coalition, also gives his blessing. Without Gyurcsány's support, Karácsony would not be able to stabilize his position as city manager, which is crucial for his future political success.

emphasized jr. Zoltán Lomnici.

Although they attack each other at the level of words, Ferenc Gyurcsány and Péter Magyar both proved during their long and short political history that they are willing to take unprincipled steps and conclude alliances for the sake of political success.

he drew attention. He then pointed out: "From these we can reasonably conclude that if their (perceived) political interests so desired, they would come together (as we saw the coalition from the extreme left to the extreme right in 2022), but at least they would cooperate along certain issues and topics."

Based on the events of the past few weeks, it is increasingly clear that intense negotiations are underway between Gergely Karácsony and Péter Magyar. Although neither party elaborated on the topic of the meetings, based on the leaked information, both have in mind the smooth functioning of Budapest. In the past period, the chairman of the Tisza Party not only consulted with the mayor, but also met with Dávid Vitézy and Gergely Kovács, indicating that there are serious intentions in the background to establish a broad cooperation, explained the junior. Zoltán Lomnici.

No one currently has a clear majority in the Capital Assembly. Fidesz-KDNP and Péter Magyar's party both have ten representatives, while the DK-MSZP-Párbeszéd alliance has seven mandates.

In this situation, Ferenc Gyurcsány becomes an indispensable actor, since without the support of the DK president, Karácsony would be unable to secure his position as city manager.

Due to Gyurcsány's political influence, he is still a determining factor, and although he often remains in the background, his decisions are crucial for the future of Karácsony, Jr. believes. Zoltán Lomnici.
