On Monday, Hungary's interim president Ágnes Forsthoffer convened a four-way meeting of parliamentary faction leaders at the Sándor Palace. After the meeting, she stated that the situation is serious and that political actors must cooperate. The press conference began with a delay of approximately an hour and a half.
According to available information, Forsthoffer opened by recalling Árpád Göncz, who was inaugurated as president 36 years ago. She then thanked the participants for their patience and emphasized that the goal of the meeting was not for anyone to abandon their ideology. According to reports, the participants were satisfied with the meeting, and further consultations between the faction leaders may follow.
After the talks, Péter Magyar spoke about how residents should be the last to be asked to reduce consumption and make sacrifices. The topic of the Paks 2 project also came up in connection with the meeting. Political analyst Gábor Török compared Monday's meeting to the 2008 national summit, that is, to the period of Ferenc Gyurcsány's government. HVG ↗
The Sándor Palace also announced its own austerity measures. It plans to reduce electricity consumption, use closed shutters, order work from home, and raise the air conditioning temperature setting. Further developments will depend on whether the talks between the factions produce concrete agreements on consumption, savings, and energy issues.
