I sincerely hope that those who have defended Péter Magyar as fiercely as a lioness are starting to realize that his wife didn’t leave him by coincidence, and it’s also not a coincidence that he changes girlfriends more frequently than some change their underwear. The Prime Minister has recently demonstrated that he struggles with his emotions, exhibiting outbursts of anger and a constant urge to dominate conversations. We’ve seen how he doesn’t allow his three spokespersons to speak, raising the question of why there are three of them at all, and he has even snatched the microphone from Andrea Rost to ensure the spotlight remains on him. Yesterday and today, he interrupted others in parliament like a cranky child and felt the need to shout at the opposition during his own speeches. Ultimately, he got so riled up that he even approached Gergely Gulyás, the Fidesz faction leader, to confront him. Horn Gábor, however, tries to explain this as a strategy. Oh dear.
Horn believes that we witnessed a strategic outburst from Péter Magyar. The former SZDSZ politician fails to recognize that there are serious issues with Magyar’s temperament and that he feels compelled to comment constantly, not just on Facebook. According to Horn, the parliament has been boring until now, with a so-called „pseudo-democracy” prevailing there (which according to his logic, will likely remain true with a two-thirds majority). But now, he claims, it will be exciting, similar to what we see with the English, although others argue that this behavior is more reminiscent of the Ukrainians. A researcher from the Republicon Institute commented:
Magyar isn’t seeking to align himself with us; he wants to appeal to his base. He doesn’t think that we would agree he has done well. I believe that when I say ‘his base,’ I refer to a very diverse social group, encompassing not just faction members but voters in general.
Thus, Horn suggests that voters expect aggression and arrogance from him. Fantastic. Meanwhile, are they building a society based on love? He continued by acknowledging that there are indeed some anger management issues with the Prime Minister but noted:
I sense a level of intentionality in the sense that a different narrative is unfolding here. This is not the story of an elegant gentleman, like Medgyessy Péter, whose past makes it hard to believe he’s a refined citizen. Instead, Magyar presents himself as an honest person who expresses what he thinks and refuses to conform to the societal expectations of how a Prime Minister should behave.
Horn suggests that it’s perfectly acceptable for a Prime Minister to express emotions. Fundamentally, there’s nothing wrong with that, but just as one wouldn’t burp loudly in the theater during a performance after having indulged in a soda during intermission, one should also refrain from addressing fellow parliamentarians in a manner akin to speaking with an ex-wife in the kitchen after some drinks.
