After launching his campaign by announcing the intent to eradicate poverty (and budget deficits at the same time), PM Gyurcsány now declared that he wants to "promote both the poor and the elite".

If that sounds crazy to you, you are not alone.

Meanwhile, in the newest polls, the prior trend turned around: the governing MSzP again fell behind the opposition Fidesz.

It's very bizarre.  I'll do some more digging at my end.  She was well knwon around here as she basically had her hands on the purse strings of Hungarian money for minority cultural and educational projects.

Could you also tell something about the Romanian-language paper "Cotidianul"?

That's the paper that first wrote about the scandal. I found a cryptic line in an article that "it is considered Fidesz's voice in Romania", which is rather strange - could it be a paper of the Hungarian minority written in Romanian?

Also, what can you tell me about Szatmári Ildikó's effect in Transsylvania? I do not trust right-wing papers' claims (especially since they bought into some forgeries in previous scandals), while the nominally left-wing press (which I don't trust that much either) and the only paper that I would term neutral (HVG) didn't research that angle much.

I forgot: I found out that much about Cotidianul that that paper published the "Béla Markó was a Securitate agent" claims.
