Independent Member of Parliament, Ákos Hadházy, is seriously considering leaving politics to return to his profession as a veterinary surgeon.
In an interview with Telex, Hadházy expressed concerns about ending his life unsuccessfully and facing a fate similar to
Alexei Navalny's. "It might be a better choice to perform surgeries on dogs since, at least, that has tangible results," Hadházy remarked.
Hadházy, an independent legislator, believes that under the current electoral system, it would take nothing short of a miracle to replace the National System of Cooperation (NER). He is even contemplating ending his political career if the electoral conditions in 2026 remain unchanged from those in 2018 or 2022.
According to him, what is needed is a "hybrid revolution," though it's not entirely clear what he means by this. He emphasized that violence is not necessary and that the united stand of even 200, 100, or as few as 50 thousand determined people could suffice.
Last week, Hadházy mentioned that the emergence of Péter Magyar made him seriously consider whether it was worthwhile to continue in politics. In the interview published on Monday by Telex, he avoided mentioning Magyar by name, referring to him instead as "the former head of the Student Loan Center" and avoiding calling him "the ex-husband of Judit Varga," which he thought might be too harsh.
When asked if Magyar had approached him, Hadházy said it was "quite possible" but wasn't sure. He recalled that a couple of weeks before Magyar's emergence, an anonymous source contacted him claiming to have significant information on the Rogán-Schadl-Völner case.
"I invited the individual to my office, but a few hours before the meeting, it was canceled due to them suddenly falling ill. I suspect that this person might have been Péter Magyar," he added. He also noted that if the meeting had happened, he would have explained to Magyar the flawed notion that "we first win elections and then restore democracy afterwards."
