As the political scene moves on from a largely lethargic summer to a more active autumn, the political agenda will be dominated by issues linked to next year’s election campaign. Some issues have a direct bearing on the election, such as the struggle of MSZP and E14 to come up with a workable model of uniting the left-wing opposition against Fidesz. Other, seemingly unrelated issues, such as the wage hikes for some segments of public employees and the government’s decision to help the several hundred thousand citizens struggling with foreign currency denominated home loans, will of course also substantially affect the election.
