Gábor Kuncze

Gábor Kuncze (born 4 November 1950 in Pápa) is a Hungarian liberal politician, former chairman of the Hungarian Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ). He became anchorman at the radio channel Klubrádió in 2008 while he was still an SZDSZ member of Parliament. Later, in 2010, he also became a host for the television channel ATV. Kuncze was later dismissed from ATV's morning program, which was taken over by Egon Rónai.

Biography Kuncze was born in Pápa in 1950. After graduating from the piarist grammar school in Kecskemét he studied geotechnical engineering in the Ybl Miklós Technical College in Budapest and graduated from there in 1974. Later he got a degree of Economics specialized in Industry Management and Organization. Kuncze is married to mathematics teacher Katalin Fellegi. Révész had parliamentary immunity at the time and as such police had no right to use force against him.

In February 2009, Kuncze again made a controversial statement. In Klubrádió he was speaking with Tibor Dessewffy, an advisor to prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány. In the program, while talking about the very low level of public mood (according to Kuncze, completely unjustified), recommended handing out cyanide tablets to the people who were feeling miserable.

quote|Gábor Kuncze: (...) I know a great number of people who are living much much better than say ten, fifteen years ago, and they are in such a lethargy from this horrible country and this horrible situation that one would very much like to give cyanide tablets to them so they could get over their problems already. Of course this would not be a solution.

Tibor Dessewffy: And this whole thing is a really great problem, since the middle class cannot understand that they are moving higher, just because there are still a very large group of people who are in really big trouble|from the Klubrádió program Kuncze later apologised for his remarks, saying they were ill-conceived.

Personal life He is married. His wife is Katalin Kunczéné Fellegi.
