  • Györfi accused the Tisza party of narrowing opportunities for political dialogue and cooperation between communities, despite promising a more open public life.
  • The criticism followed reports that mayors were urged to stay away from events in their cities.
  • Kecskemét’s mayor previously missed the opening of a new Mercedes plant division after Péter Magyar asked her not to attend.

Györfi says the Tisza party promised a more open and democratic public life, but is now restricting the possibilities for relationships, dialogue and cooperation between communities.

He said the situation recalled the darkest periods, when political considerations determined when and where an elected city leader could represent their own community.

The criticism came after the mayors of Debrecen and Szolnok. The mayor of Hódmezővásárhely has also objected to what he described as Tisza ministers issuing instructions in their cities and taking control of school-opening ceremonies.

Kecskemét had already experienced what the article calls Tisza discrimination. Mayor Klaudia Szemereyné Pataki could not attend the opening of a new section at the Mercedes plant. Péter Magyar, identified as prime minister, asked her to stay away, and also asked city hall staff not to attend the plant inauguration.
