Mayor of Budapest Gergely Karácsony to lead Párbeszéd list for 2022 election

Change language:

Gergely Karácsony, co-leader of opposition Párbeszéd, will lead the party’s national list for next spring’s general election, the party decided at its congress on Saturday.

Karácsony, who is mayor of Budapest, told a subsequent press conference streamed on Facebook that he would only “be leading the party list symbolically” as he has no ambition to serve as a member of parliament.

“If the opposition wins and there is a change of government I will be preparing to work as the mayor of Budapest in alliance with the new cabinet,” he said.

Speaking at the same press conference, Péter Márki-Zay, the opposition alliance’s prime ministerial candidate, said cooperation among opposition parties was free of any tension with their unity becoming stronger day by day.

  1. Did Karácsony check with his bosses; Gurcsány and his wife Dobrev before making such a momentous decision? -:)

  2. Behaviour and Political decisions Karacsony – is “throwing” out there, likened to that of the “Prodical Son” of Gurcsany – the Shamed and Failed – voted out of office, through his complete Incompetence – Prime Minister of Hungary and his wife Dobrev.
    Karacsony – continues to dig bigger holes for him-self, in a behaviour that is his doing & choice, that will FINISH him – in the Political Landscape of Hungary and certainly being re-elected to the position, that sees his ability, the on-going disasters occuring in City Hall, doing a second term as Lord Mayor of Budapest.
    The name – Gurcsany – Hungary must continue to send powerful messages out into the citizens of Hungary, that this individual, the core of his Political Ideas and Philosophy – for the Future of Hungary, would spell disaster and be Perilous for our country – if this individual ever again was elected or voted into a Poitical position, that saw him, being permitted to speak in our House of Parliament- under an appointment, that gave him a Political or Politicans right to speak.
    History – never Lies.
    The decades of Gurcsany – a face in Politics in Hungary, the “luggage” he has carried, and the negativity of effect he has had for the Future of Hungary – for the Future of Hungary – I say GO.
