The public humiliation of a man who is supposed to set a good ethical example
has prompted Hungary’s
political parties to set aside their caustic differences and unite in calls
for his resignation. Attila Mesterhazy, the leader of the Socialist party,
described Mr Schmitt as “unworthy of the office of president” while Dora
Duro, a spokesman for the nationalist party, said if he tried to remain in
office the “wrath of the people” would remove him. Viktor Orban, the
Hungarian prime minister and a close ally of the beleaguered president,
remained more circumspect about Mr Schmitt’s future.
