This man on the photo is Gábor Demszky, the mayor of Budapest. Coincidentally, he stopped beside me on Sunday when I was taking photos of the Critical Mass demonstration. The man on the other photo was taken on the same day (MTI photo). He is László Sólyom, the president of Hungary. I like that these two guys took part, especially in this way. As you can see there was no body-guards, no suits, no large black cars. Actually Demszky had a very …”khm”…:) sport dress, which its a better choice than wearing a brand new NIKE or ADIDAS. The President looks like a grandpa here who just stepped out for buying some milk at the store:) That’s what makes a city friendly…And before you start to envy us..I have to admit that our political elite doesn’t act like this usually. But never too late to start:)
Demszky épp mellettem állt meg fotózni. Tetszett, hogy a köztársasági elnökkel kivonultak, ráadásul nem láttam sehol testőrőket meg egyéb kellékeket. A ruháik is inkább lepukkantak és ez igazán tetszik. Valahogy úgy szól a Critical Mass szlogenje “Bicikles minden hétköznap” (nem emlékszem fejből), hát ez a két Úr meg lehetne ilyen minden hétköznap.:)
When you call it Critical Mass and show us a bunch of cyclist on a bridge, what comes to my twisted mind is a scientific experiment on how many people you can have on the bridge before it collapses! OK, too many science documentary… I hope everybody had a great day outdoors.
You’re lucky that your politicians are so “down to earth.”
Vraiment superbe, voila une bonne idee à donner à notre maire d’Evry. je trouve cela tres sympathique, surtout sans protection. Bravo
Really superb, veiled a good idea to be given to our mayor of Evry. I find that very sympathetic nerve, especially without protection. Cheer
You are lucky, as Paul said, that your politicians are so “down to earth.” Very nice photographs.
I don’t know if Jacques Chirac knows how to go on a bike…
And I am in the background in the yellow shirt :))
I said everyone that I have seen Demszky, but noone else said to see him too.
hf…so now you have an evidence:)
