In mid-December of last year, the IDEA Institute conducted a survey on behalf of Immediate, which revealed that a parallel can be drawn between party preference and anti-vaccination.
According to a survey conducted between December 11 and 15, 2020, government parties have more confidence in the vaccine, with 57 percent of Fidesz voters getting vaccinated against the coronavirus. Of the opposition parties, Momentum voters are the most enthusiastic about the vaccine, with 46 percent administering the vaccine. MSZP supporters are divided on the issue, the ratio of vaccinators and rejected is more or less balanced. However, supporters of the Democratic Coalition and Jobbik are clearly against vaccination.
This is also evident in the communication of political parties: pro-government politicians regularly campaign on their social media platforms so that the population is as vaccinated as possible. More recently, Mayor Fidesz of Győr encouraged vaccination, and Dr. András Csaba Dézsi and his wife received the vaccine as a health worker.
Momentum would make it mandatory, Jobbik wouldn’t
However, opposition parties are divided on the issue of vaccines. The Index reached out to all parties with the question of whether they plan to launch an organized campaign to promote vaccination, given that several opinion polls indicate that the population is skeptical about vaccination. Only Momentum, LMP and Dialogue responded to our request, all of whom stated that they believe a mass vaccination is needed to defeat the virus.
Of the three agglomerations of the opposition, Momentum is the one that most encourages its defenders to get vaccinated with the new vaccine. Cseh katalin, European representative of the party and Gábor Kerpel-Fronius The Deputy Mayor Momentum also campaigns for vaccination in his community.
Buzinkay György, a former member of the Momentum presidency, argues in an article for Immediate that the government
it should make vaccination mandatory for the general population.
The LMP also communicates proactively on the subject. Máté Kanász-Nagy, the party co-chair also spoke at the year-end press conference about the importance of vaccination, but a campaign for the vaccine was also launched on the party’s central Facebook page.
Although the Dialogue did not launch a central campaign, Márta V. Naszályi, Mayor of District I, a member of the party presidency, also voted on the community side to administer the vaccine as soon as she had the opportunity.
We did not find a post in the DK community that specifically advocated vaccination. Party speeches have to do with that
however, they are not negative against a German-American vaccine also authorized by the European Union.
Jobbik is also not running a proactive campaign to promote the vaccine, and in its response, the party is urging the government to
do not make vaccination mandatory,
and that there are no additional rights for citizens who have received the vaccine.
