Re: The cost of lying to win (4.00 / 2)

More news:

The "Critical Mass" biker protest for Friday was called off, the organisers fearing that it would be hijacked.
Another Fidesz district major mad some strained noises against violence, fearing for votes.
Meanwhile, more paranoid excuses from a right-wing leadership distancing itself only implicitely: a Fidesz speaker called for an investigation into whether secret service agents have been instrumental in creating the riots, as those "benefitted only the Socialists".
Funnily, leaders of all prominent far-right faces not directly under Fidesz were sighted at the TV building (some of which have very strong personal differences): the two youth movements, a mad blogger, leaders of an anti-semitic far-right party (most of whose voters and part of whose cadre was taken by Fidesz), and a skinhead leader who a few years ago was sentenced for planning an armed coup (and whom I met and debated in 1994 when he was a counter-protester at a media independence protest).

Re: The cost of lying to win (none / 1)

Even more news: enter the European People's Party! Never failing to intervene in internal politics in each others' favour, they called on PM Gyurcsány to resign.
