LMP: Fidesz Has Disappointed Many In Hungary
Fidesz has not honoured its election promises and has moved the country’s political system toward a Russian-style centralised democracy, LMP caucus leader Benedek Jávor told reporters during a break in his party’s congress in Szeged on Saturday.

In 2010 many people thought that the cabinet, with a two-thirds majority, could solve problems that were not addressed after the change of regime, including health care, the pension system and the openness of former secret informants, but those expectations were not met, Jávor said.

He accused the cabinet of pursuing an erroneous economic policy and an unfair social policy.

In other remarks Jávor said LMP has 500,000-550,000 supporters, twice as many as in 2010.
