In Népszava, György Sebes compares the state of the Hungarian left to that of Hungarian football in 1969 when the international team was knocked out by Czechoslovakia. He quotes captain and centre-half Kálmán Mészöly who commented at the time: “our time is up”. Sebes calls on the leaders of the left-wing parties to realise that theirs is up too. The difference is that behind Mészöly and his team-mates there was still a generation of talented players, he remarks. Today’s left-wing politicians are quite satisfied sitting in parliament and having their living guaranteed for another few years. The left-wing columnist warns that an overhaul of the Left is now urgent, if it wants to be ready for the next parliamentary elections in 2018.
