“Social media platforms can't stop the truth from being spread far and wide. Big tech can't stop the truth. Communist Democrats can't stop the truth. I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome.”

“Márki-Zay has not yet boosted support for the opposition, with most polls showing a tight race. The situation is worse than opinion polls suggest as the redrawing of electoral districts by Fidesz has given the ruling party an advantage. The united opposition should win at least 3 to 5% more votes to get a majority mandate in the Hungarian national assembly. That's a huge difference and we don't see this advantage in the polls yet. The political race isn't taking place on an even playing field; it's heavily tilted to Orbán. The integrity of the 2022 election will be even worse than in 2014, or 2018, which were free but not fair. It's already a dirty contest and it will be a huge task for the opposition to win.”

“He [Péter Márki-Zay] is a statesman, he is not the kind of guy who wants to be a politician just for the sake of politics… You can see it in his eyes that he has determination to change the system for the good. He's a conservative, I'm a liberal [libertarian]. He's very religious, I'm not, but we both believe Hungary isn't democratic now.”

“After 16 years it's the first time the opposition has a real chance to win. Nobody expected the left and centre parties who dominated the opposition could be led by an outsider coming from the right. One of his [Péter Márki-Zay] super-powers is that he can't be blamed as the puppet of the past leftist parties, or the ex-prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány. Now we can see that the Fidesz propaganda machine is confused. [Márki-Zay] is not a liberal intelligentsia, he seems to be much more like a Fidesz member.”

“His extremely cursory mention of inter-Korean relations and foreign policy indicates that North Korea was not ready to come out for contacts with South Korea or the United States in the new year. Faced with the pandemic, North Korea is expected to continue to keep its borders shut, focusing on self-reliance and conducting only the minimum of essential trade with China.”
