Index – National – Ákos Hadházy: Collaboration is not worth much

Ákos Hadházy commented in a Facebook post about the cooperation after Sunday’s elections in Borsod, which was won by Fidesz candidate Zsófia Koncz. The Fidesz candidate received 50.87 percent, while László Bíró, the candidate from Diálogo, MSZP, DK, Momentum and LMP, could only get 45.9 percent of the votes. Particular attention was also paid to by-elections because a two-thirds majority of the ruling party depended on them.

The opposition has created a situation where you can only lose today

– begins the speech of the Member of Parliament, who said

the recipe was to team up for each party and hope for a miracle. The miracle did not come: in 2018, the result of the candidates of the opposition parties (not counting the camouflage parties) was only 0.5 percent behind the late Ferenc Koncz. Today, it has gained almost 5 percent. The opposition simply does not have enough voters to defeat Fidesz. So working together is not worth much if we want to go to 2020 with the current rules of the game.

According to the politician, the person of the candidate also contributed a lot to the unfavorable result for the opposition.

The parties believed that if there was a “coalition”, there was everything, the identity of the candidate did not matter at all, anyone could start. If a judge had won, not just a man with a racist spirit would have entered parliament, but a man who was clearly involved in spending a significant part of the EU grant of HUF 50 million on a small team rather than a actual development.

– says Hadházy, according to which so far only the case of the unpaid seamstresses has been received in relation to the opposition candidate, but he has been personally informed and considers the misconduct around László Bíró more serious.

All I could help this candidate was that I did not speak about it in public, but did inform the party presidents about what I learned.

László Bíró was not a good candidate, but it is not his fault that they have not found anything else to replace him: the opposition parties are struggling with serious organizational problems, they simply do not have enough good candidates in the 106 electoral districts. Collaboration is simply useless if there is no organization, as there are not enough activists.

– pointed out Ákos Hadházy, who said that the defeat of the opposition should be assessed as a big slap in the face, so that the opposition politicians really have to take the country by the neck and find committed opponents in each town to help in the next elections.
