This is not a big surprise, but now officially Attila Mesterhazy is the candidate of the left for president of Hungary .
Today, on 25 January 2014, the Hungarian Socialist Party - called MSZP - helds its congress in Budapest Sportaréna . As leader of the opposition he is followed by
Gordon Bajnai, leader of the alliance Együtt-PM,
Ferenc Gyurcsány, leader of the Democratic Coalition , DK,
Gábor Fodor president of The Hungarian Liberal Party (Magyar Liberális Párt) and
Tímea Szabó, co-president the new green party, Párbeszéd Magyarországért ,
in that order, that was not very easily made.
The spotlight due to the first 5 places on the common list of the opposition of the former left wing politicians was not quite a big surprise, but a rather predictable event. as they all pronounced their speeches on the same stage on the 23rd, October in front of the Budapest Technical University - an emblematic place of the 56 hungarian revolution. However at that very moment the now elected candidate for president could not add much, as his words were cut by former prime minister, Gyurcsány supporters.
