I am very proud of Budapest for the Critical Mass--no such thing over here, although there were a bunch of cyclists gathered in a cafe just a bloc from my place yesterday afternoon. Not sure what was happening there but it was good to see so many bikes parked--strength in numbers, definitely :)Jelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903146833019745969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388652528051620982.post-79744329532946702852010-09-23T09:04:05.095+02:002010-09-23T09:04:05.095+02:00Greg, I have to correct myself: although MSZP cand...Greg, I have to correct myself: although MSZP candidate Csaba Horváth was at the mass, he did not participate in the Q&A. He said he didn't want to sit at the same table with a representative of a party -- Gábor Staudt of Jobbik -- that goes against democratic norms. He gave an evasive answer to the next reporter question as to whether he would also stay away from the Budapest City Assembly if and when elected for it. (Although the odds of winning the mayor's race are equally low for the Socialists as well as Jobbik, both parties will likely be represented in the Assembly, therefore they will have to work together one way or another.) <br /><br />The Socialists did, however, end up finding a surrogate mayoral candidate to represent them at the Q&A, Tibor Pásztor, who also happens to be mayoral candidate for the local elections in Budapest District 5. (http://pasztortibor.hu ) Evidently he didn't have a problem sitting at the same table with Jobbik. <br /><br />Fidesz, by the way, was also represented at the Q&A by Budapest City Assembly representative Linda Szikora.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06528231188926287442noreply@blogger.com
