                      A quick analysis of the vote in Hungary


   In Hungary the overhelming majority of the people is partisan of the 
Democracy – are showing the results of the administrative elections for 
the renewal of local and regional authorities held on 1st October 2006. 
Men and Women want to implement in Democracy and Freedom their 
Rights for Job, Existence, Social Justice and Peace. Electors have turned 
their back to anti-constitutional extremism and they have pronounced a 
serious judgement on the policy of the Gyurcsány government bringing 
grist to the mills of far right. The results of the local elections overcome 
the local interests, they are a clear political message to the 
government, the opposition and the European Union too. The message 
of the majority of electors to the ruling coalition of socialists and free 
democrats is that the anti-social mesures, the political immorality, the 
anti-democratic „at any price” insistence to the power are intolerable. 
The Socialist Party electors have massively voted against the direction 
of PS by telling Gyurcsány, that this situation could not continue and 
criticism should not be considered as hostility. Together with other 
people of democratic feeling many hundred thousand of leftwing 
electors have voted for the revision of the New (financial) Balance 
program of social cuts, the Green Book allowing the privatisation of 
Healthcare and Social Security systems and the EU wanted 
Convergency Program. The message sent to the forces of opposition is, 
that the way out from the crisis must be found together with the 
officialism, by the way of a new program of balance caracterised by the 
priciple of income proportionate taxation, imposing more charges on 
wealthy straits and less charges on Workers and people in need. The 
result of the vote in Hungary is reflecting serious criticisms vis a vis of 
the European Union too: electors have refused that the price of the 
introduction in Hungary of the european common currency, euro, as 
well as the accession to the EU development funds of Hungary be the 
impoverishment of the hungarian society. Electors have refused that 
Hungary be considered a second class member of EU, and they have 
taken position in favor of the right for equal development and 
hungarian national rights to be granted like as those of the other 
members of the Union. Electors have refused the method of making 
policy over the head of Society, be it on national or european levels. 
They have demanded to have voice in the decision taking process 
related with their life and destiny. They havedone  a vote of protest 
against the restriction of the democratic and social rights. Vote is 
showing the rightful anger of millions of citizens in my country because 
the worsening  of social and economical situation, increasing problems 
of existence, and the immoral policy vis a vis of our society. Electors 
have voted against the impoverishment, precariousness, increasing 
unemployment and mass lock out. Vote is reflecting  discontentment for 
the drastical price increasing mesures, the declining of the purchasing 
power of wages and pensions, the introducing of a new system of 
charges into the healthcare and the education systems and for the 
deepening of social inequalities. „We want an other Social Policy and 
an other Government” – this is the message of the vote in Hungary at 
my opinion.
