There were reports that the Socialists may try to woo the support of a small Fidesz-independent center-left party also in parliament. Something its party leader tried to fend off with unusually sharp comments about MSzP-SzDSz scheming.

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.
