Hungarian Elections 2006
Pisti Kovács is face of campaign and biggest success of SZDSZ
I already mentioned Pisti Kovács, the 5-year-old kid, who became the campaign figure of SZDSZ, the Hungarian liberal party, for the 2006 elections. Pisti Kovács is a sympathetic person, it is really funny to see him on election posters instead of some depressing images ("We live worse..." -FIDESZ) or a futile effort to raise Hungarian confidence ("We did it." -MSZP). Pisti is such a pleasant sight that he draws the attention of lots of people. Citizens of Budapest stop to read the posters he is on. They read carefully what is written near Pisti's smiling head on public transports. They listen to the TV ads Pisti is in, even when they have had enough of consecutive ads of toothpaste and detergents. In one word, Pisti Kovács is popular, although only the future will tell wether the popularity belongs to Pisti, or associated with SZDSZ as well.Hungarian elections 2006 - Attacks on Politicians
