Hungary’s Left-Wing Alliance Changes Its Name
The left-wing alliance is changing its name from “Összefogás” (Unity) to “Kormányváltás” (Change of Government), Socialist campaign chief Zsolt Molnár told ATV on Thursday. Insisting that “Unity” was the alliance’s slogan, not its name, he said the word would not have been put on ballots in any case, as it is the name of another party and could be misleading.

Besides, he said, everyone has come to realise that opposition unity has been brought about, so it is no longer worth using that slogan in the final lap of the campaign.

“Kormányváltás” will be the new slogan, he said.
