Continued from Page 6 David explained that in 1990 she looked toward the future with unbridled optimism, and believed that “once they remove the handcuffs from our hands...Hungary will build a better world.” Unfortunately, things didn’t work out quite that way. While the late prime minister József Antall managed well Hungary’s orientation to the West, the country has little to show for in this period of about 17 years because Hungarian politicians are mired into an endless game of political posturing that prevents much needed governance. David called for the defeat of the current government, and reported that the support and popularity of MDF is on the increase and may reach the level of 15% support in the coming years, providing the opportunity for the party to significantly influence the make-up of the next government. In responding to a question about her discussions with American political and governmental leaders during her current trip, Dr. David said those who are familiar with the current political situation in Hungary agree that unfortunately Hungary has not taken advantage of the opportunities that were available during recent years.
