Opposition PM candidate: Orbán failing to address “real problems”
Change language:
Péter Márki-Zay, the opposition’s joint prime ministerial candidate, said the prime minister “dealt a lot with me” in his speech on Saturday kicking off the official campaign period ahead of the April 3 general election, yet failed to address any of the country’s real problems.
“The only virtue of Viktor Orbán’s speech was that it was his last as prime minister,” Márki-Zay said on Facebook.
“As I guessed it would be, it was an empty speech riddled with confusing visions and fancy phrases,” he said.
Márki-Zay insisted that if the prime minister meant everything he said in his speech, he’d accept his invitation to hold a debate.
The Democratic Coalition (DK) said in a statement that its politicians and activists had spent the day on the campaign trail collecting signatures and listening to people relating their problems Fidesz had been “deaf to in the past 12 years”.
In a statement, the Socialists said the prime minister had addressed the Fidesz elite who were “the winners of targeted redistribution of stolen public money over the past 12 years”.
Fidesz politicians, they added, “look down the Hungarian people from above … they dine in Michelin-starred restaurants, holiday on yachts, fly in helicopters paid for from the proceeds of stolen public money while being blind to the everyday problems of much of society.”
More wishful comments from the lying left. They know their past record here in Hungary will not get them back in power if they ran on it. So, they do what all leftist politicians do, attack their opponents with blatant lies and make promises they have no intention or capability of fulfilling. Orban is no saint but he will be returned to power for another term because Hungarians do not want the Euro, They do not want open borders and a flood tide of middle eastern and african migrants and the crimewave they will bring as seen elsewhere here in Europe.
