Peter Ungar: Without him, Hungary would be a worse place

Miklos Gaspar Tamas died. As a classic public writer, thinker and politician, he fought for a good and beloved Hungary all his life. Where we stand up for the poorest, where we do not trample on human rights, where we take responsibility for each other and our environment, and where we condemn extremists. By his own admission, he was forced to modify his political views many times, but his true views never changed. He was leftist, he was green, he was democrat.

Education, knowledge and great intellectual humor are combined with the TGM name. Everyone got it from him. If necessary, he distracted the Prime Minister to the commemoration, spoke out loudly against the most serious breaches of the law, against extremism, against the excesses of consumer capitalism, but he of course (rightly) criticized the opposition parties as well.

He was not shy and did not make concessions. The entire political community of the Miklós Liberal Democratic Party remembers Gaspar Tamas with respect, one of the most important Hungarian thinkers and public figures of the last 40 years. Without him, Hungary would be a worse place.

May God have mercy on him!
