Fidesz communicates well when it can handle the matter at hand, the communication of the epidemic has not been well thought out, it is a big question whether more people will be blamed on the government or the epidemic, believes Gábor Török.

The communication of the epidemic, like the need to measure the effectiveness of the defense against the number of deaths, was not well thought out by the government, Gábor Török said in an interview with Népszava. According to the political scientist, Fidesz “was always able to communicate well when he was able to handle the matter well himself, whether it was overhead, Brussels, migrants. The virus is not an adversary and, apparently, previous techniques have not been successful. “

When asked if Viktor Orbán might start to worry, he replied:

“The subtle term you can start with, Fidesz already has cause for concern.”

In the past decade, the better people felt about the state of the economy, the more popular the government was. Now that the consumer confidence index is falling, the question is whether the government or the pandemic is being blamed for more than that, he explained.

He assessed the negotiations on the EU rule of law mechanism: “Viktor Orbán has experienced a dangerous situation in European politics and has managed to temporarily avoid it. He did all this with tools that are also dangerous for him. So far, it hasn’t gotten better or worse. “

According to Gábor Török, the József Szájer scandal “hit the public so badly” that Fidesz’s goal could only be to save damage. No big mistakes were made in this, but “the case also suffered very deep wounds in the inner world of the party.”

Regarding the opposition: Turk sees that “without the rehabilitation of Ferenc Gyurcsány, there is currently no possibility of a change of government”, the question is whether the former prime minister will have a significant preponderance within the opposition.

The political analyst examined the outcome of the Borsod elections and also found that there is currently no dominant force in the opposition space, and this weakness leads the parties towards a common list and a common prime ministerial candidate. According to him, Gergely Karácsony has the best chance of playing the latter role.
