Hungarian PM’s Presidential Gambit Fails as Polgar Declines Nomination
EPA/Attila Kovacs “The responsibility is entirely mine,” Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar admitted on Monday night, after he had failed to convince the world’s greatest female chess player of all time, Judit Polgar, to accept the nomination to be the country’s next president. “I don’t feel the strength to take on the historic responsibility, therefore I am unable to accept the invitation,” Polgar, 49, posted last night, ending a day of intense speculation in Hungary and abroad. Nominating a grandmaster as Hungary’s next president was just the latest in a series of unconventional moves by the government headed by Magyar’s Tisza party.
