Parbeszed asks for small donations

Gergely Karacsony, the opposition Parbeszed party's co-leader, has appealed to opposition voters to make small donations to the party to plug the gap following state fines. "ASZ has become a political tool for [ruling] Fidesz," he told a press conference on Wednesday, adding that the audit office had fined almost every opposition party. This could force some parties to fold, he said. Karacsony said Parbeszed was asking people to contribute 1,000-2,000 forints (EUR 3.13-6.27) to help the party make up for "ASZ's illegal and absurd" fine.
