Tisza Party Struggles with Recruitment, Peter Magyar's Personality Becomes Increasingly Off-Putting

The departure of Dezso Farkas highlights that Peter Magyar's party-building efforts have so far been unsuccessful in an organizational sense, said Bank Levente Boros, director of political analysis at the Nezopont Institute, when asked about the organizational crisis within the Tisza Party. According to Janos Zila, analyst at the Center for Fundamental Rights, the latest developments, like many previous issues, clearly outline Peter Magyar's incompatible and aggressive personality.

Peter Magyar’s personality emerges

"They are social climbers who will climb on anyone’s back to get ahead. However, if someone or something threatens their position, that person becomes an enemy, is demoted, or has to leave the party. This cannot go on indefinitely. On the one hand, because the party will eventually run out of useful associates, and on the other, because those remaining will become disinterested in the success of the political organization and its leader," he explained.

According to the analyst, the latest events, like many previous ones, strongly highlight Peter Magyar’s incompatible and aggressive personality. 

While the impact on his party’s operations is not unimportant, he said, these incidents repeatedly raise a fundamental question for voters: is such a person fit to lead a country?

• Can someone govern who turns every petty issue into a personal matter and changes his trusted people as often as others change their underwear, simply because he takes offense at everyone?"
• "How would such a leader operate on the international stage? Would he be capable of representing the country’s interests?"
• "Would he be able to keep his cool if, for example, he were pressured in negotiations regarding the country’s natural gas or oil supply? What would we use for heating, what would we refuel with, if he lost his temper during such discussions?"

the analyst posed some questions.
