While the liberals don't want new elections, they refuse to promise even outside support. (The confidence vote will be used more frequently, I guess.)
At the first government meeting after the announced break (which is supposedly active from the end of this month), the SzDSz ministers first didn't got seats, a transparent calculated snub.
Yet, Fodor seemed to veer off by claiming that the break-up is not yet certain.
The Socialists for their part speak about their healthcare un-reform plan as if it is a done deal.
According to speculation by Index.hu based on prior break-up mind-games, the coalition break-up was prepared in advance -- by both sides, as a step strengthening both Gyurcsány and Kóka within their parties. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
The previous PM, Péter Medgyessy (whom Gyurcsány replaced after an internal coup) said publicly that Gyurcsány causes more problems than he solves, and suggested he should resign. He also said the government is too far from a leftist programme (Re askod).
The previous chairman of SzDSz, Gábor Kuncze, threatened to release his notes from coalition talks should the Socialists continue to blame reforms on the liberals only. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
