>anyone who thinks the gas should belong to 'the people' would be considered on the 'left', not on the 'right'.

Generally, that would be the case. However, in this instance, you are mistaken. I wish you could read all the articles in this publication in Hungarian, and then you would realize these people are not on the left. Actually, they are blaming the ruling socialist party for selling the Mako trough and other resources to the foreigners for peanuts.

I do not wish to comment on politics from now on.

I do agree with you though, all these protestation means one thing, the prospect for the Mako project looks better every day :)
