A political trick
The anti-government daily Magyar Nemzet sees Ferenc Gyurcsány's resignation announcement as a political tactic. "A big step for Ferenc Gyurcsány; a small step for Hungary. The boss of the Left has taken us by surprise once again and announced his resignation. But there's a catch: he has made sure that he is among those to select a new head of government - after all he was re-elected by a large majority as the leader of the Socialists. Thus Gyurcsány is leaving and making a comeback at the same time. The reason for this is simple: Ferenc Gyurcsány wants to abandon the sinking ship of the Socialist government yet preserve as much influence as possible for the future. … What we are seeing here is therefore nothing more than a dirty political trick. … How long are we going to put up with this?"

Public security must be defended
The conservative daily Magyar Nemzet suspects that a notorious Roma gang is behind the brutal killing of a famous handball player and the severe wounding of two others, and argues for a more rigorous policy of law and order in the country: "Crisis has also hit Hungary's public security. There are communities and city districts in the country where life has become simply unbearable in view of the daily crimes committed by 'Gypsy gangs'. People's souls are eaten by fear. It wouldn't be at all surprising if the xenophobia directed at the Roma increased among those who feel abandoned by the state, from which they receive nothing but high-handed lessons in tolerance. ... Order and public security must be strengthened immediately. The number of law enforcement officers and police stations must be increased on the one hand, and criminal law must be tightened on the other."

Hungary's weakness is to blame
The conservative daily Magyar Nemzet puts the present Slovak-Hungarian conflict down to the weakness and irresoluteness of the Hungarian government: "Hungary's political elite has been battling tirelessly against radicals, excluders and anti-Semites for two decades now. Yet Europe insists on seeing the current conflict as a dispute between Slovak and Hungarian nationalists. And this despite the fact that in Hungary not a single political group of any consequence has voiced approval of the right-wing extremists, while in Slovakia people in government circles talk of Hungary in a tone that only marginal, radical figures would dare to use here. ... But the main problem lies in the weakness and loss of authority of the Hungarian state. A nation that is neither able to defend its own interests nor has a strong sense of self-confidence will be despised by its neighbours. ... It is high time we recognised this. Wake up, Hungary!"
