Founder Schiffer quits LMP

Andras Schiffer, founder and former co-leader of opposition LMP, said he has quit the party. Schiffer, who resigned from the post of co-chair and returned his parliamentary mandate two years ago, said on Facebook on Monday that "the last drop" triggering his decision was opposition Egyutt lawmaker Szabolcs Szabo's joining LMP's parliamentary group. He said he was firmly opposed to the views of "the neo-liberal" Egyutt politician who strongly supports free trade which Schiffer said should be harnessed instead.
