Small-town family man to battle Orbán in 2022
By EUobserver
Péter Márki-Zay, a 49-year old economist, Christian, and father-of-seven, who was once mayor of Hódmezővásárhely, a small Hungarian town, will try to unseat prime minister Viktor Orbán in elections next year after Márki-Zay won an opposition primary vote Sunday. "We can only win together," he said, as he prepared to lead a coalition of six anti-Orbán parties. Orbán's Fidesz party called Márki-Zay a "career leftist" who would raise taxes.
