THE FREE DEMOCRATS

WHO STAYS HOME VOTES FOR THE PAST!

During the referendum the newly renamed Hungarian Socialist Party urged its supporters to vote to defeat the first proposition in hopes of gaining a victory for their front-runner, Imre Pozsgay --the only presidential candidate with a national reputation. The centrist opposition party, the Hungarian Democratic Forum, urged its supporters to abstain from voting in the referendum. The Alliance of Free Democrats slogan "Who stays home votes for the past!" proved decisive in the referendum campaign and the proposition to postpone the presidential election carried by a very narrow margin.
