At 10:04, István Varga reported
on the polling committee's work.
- The sixth National Assembly
00:00:08
elected József Antall to be the
President of the Hungarian
00:00:12
Democratic Forum by 674 votes.
- The announcement also came
00:00:15
this morning that József Antall
would continue to assume
the Prime Minister's Office.
00:00:20
In recent days, he has explained in
several places: either he is both
party president and prime minister
00:00:26
or he is not taking on any of them.
- As I explained,
00:00:32
here are the two positions,
the two functions inseparable under
00:00:38
current Hungarian political conditions
in accordance with European practice.
00:00:44
If I hadn't had the Hungarian
Democratic Forum behind me and
00:00:49
in such a number (its members),
I can safely say that,
00:00:55
in fact, in an indisputable unity,
I wouldn't be able to properly
00:01:00
serve the Prime Minister's Office.
- József Antall said that the
government's economic policy was
00:01:06
still decisive in the future
but he underlined that the style of
his cabinet differs from that
00:01:12
of the former state leadership.
- It's not sign of strife
when you hear about conflicting
00:01:19
economic and political ideas,
it's the fact that every Minister
00:01:24
of Economics wants what's best,
and it explains it. Today,
00:01:30
those conflicts that were not once
discovered, but only known by insiders
are openly revealed today
00:01:37
but we must strive to do so,
and every minister who will now
00:01:44
or in the future become a member
of the government must know that
00:01:50
after a decision the government
can only have one kind of
00:01:55
economic policy or other policy.
- On the basis of 746 valid
00:02:01
votes cast by delegates, the
following shall form the Presidency.
Sandor Lezsak, Lajos Für,
00:02:07
Imre Kónya, István Csurka,
Péter Boros, Iván Szabó,
00:02:11
Péter Nahimi, György Szabad,
Tamás Katona, Zsolt Zétényi,
Ferenc Kulin, Gabriella Farkas,
00:02:17
Géza Jeszenszky, Gyula Zacsek,
Tamás Szabó, Gyula Fekete,
László Medgyasszay, István Balázs,
00:02:23
Zoltán Bogárdi, László Sárosi.
György Szabad relayed it to
00:02:29
the political analysts.
- The Presidency,
together with President Antall,
00:02:36
has 21 members.
14 of these have already been
00:02:43
members of the Presidency.
There are a strong majority of
00:02:50
those who have made a clear
belief in central politics.
