Hungarian Opposition Socialist Party Leader Mesterházy Sues Over CÖF Posters
Attila Mesterházy, leader of the opposition Socialist party and the Unity alliance’s candidate for prime minister, is suing the pro-government Civil Union Forum (CÖF) for libel, CÖF’s founder László Csizmadia has said.

Mesterházy complained about CÖF election posters depicting him as an incarcerated criminal, and has asked the court to have the posters removed. CÖF said Mesterházy, as a public figure, should be tolerant of exaggerated or impassioned expressions of opinion.
