00:00:02 In Hungary, it is a prerequisite
for democracy to always
00:00:08 have an opposition which is capable of governing,
so an opposition being constantly
00:00:12 prepared to govern should be formed.
I agree that there is no real
00:00:18 political democracy where a mass party
is formed and then the other party
00:00:24 is always out of chance.
Opposition parties should have the chance to governe
00:00:31 and I always considered
the year 1875 as a historian to
00:00:37 be a tragic year in the history
of Hungarian politics when Kálmán
00:00:43 Tisza united the two parties.
The reason is because in Hungary
the conditions were given for bipolar politics
00:00:51 and after 1875 there was a bad reflex
- from then on a large mass party
00:00:57 forming the government dominated politics
without any chance of having a real opposition
which necessarily led them in an
00:01:04 unproductive and aimless direction.
The Horthy-era also had a major political
00:01:09 flaw in the so-called united party
and minor parties alongside
00:01:14 which where uncapable of forming a government.
So we can agree on this
00:01:20 and I think this is very important that
in political life, in the Parliament,
00:01:26 the conditions of a political
system with alternating parties
should indeed be created.
00:01:33 One of the conditions for the
00:01:37 emergence of a true democracy is that
the rules of parliamentary democracy,
00:01:46 legality, and so on be manifested in state administration,
and this must be linked to
00:01:54 a very good municipal system.
So democracy can only be
00:02:01 imagined as a true democracy,
if local governments really
live alongside with the central government,
00:02:08 and therefore it will be incredibly
important that newly elected
00:02:13 people will appear in municipal
00:02:20 offices in great numbers
00:02:27 so that people can feel
there once again that they
choose people with trust.
00:02:35 I agree that the press is is a power factor in democracy,
even though not in the way Motesquieu described it.
00:02:42 And there is a fundamental truth also
00:02:49 that true political democracy
can only function where parliamentary
00:02:54 democracy can be built on a
broad and a wealthy
00:03:00 middle class, the term interpreted in a broad sense,
and that is why it must be sought,
00:03:07 not as it was considered traditionally
but through the peasantry,
skilled workers, a very wide
00:03:14 middle class that we see in every
functioning democracy, lit can
00:03:20 only be built on such a base,
because where there are masses of people
00:03:26 in poverty and despair political
democracy cannot really be built.
