Hungary's Former PM Gyurcsány Silent In Parliament This Year
A total of 60 MPs, including Prime Minister’s Office leader János Lázár, former prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány and Szeged’s Socialist mayor László Botka, did not speak at all during the spring and summer sessions of Parliament, nearly twice as many as in recent years.

Jobbik MP Gábor Staudt spoke the most, for nearly 14 hours in total.

Development Ministry state secretary János Fónagy took the floor on 175 occasions, more than any other MP.
