Millions of Hungarians
cast ballots, show hope
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Millions of Hungari
ans cast ballots Sunday in the first free national elec
tions in 43 years, and many expressed hope for the fu
ture and fear of the Communist past.
Premier Miklos Nemeth, a reform-minded Commu
nist and a key engineer of the nation’s conversion to de
mocracy, declared moments before he voted that he
was relinquishing control “head high and with a clear
conscience.”
Despite occasional showers, voter turnout appeared
brisk at Budapest polling stations, with election officials
reporting a turnout of nearly 50 percent in some wards
by noon, four hours after the voting began and eight
hours before polls closed.
Few irregularities were reported by 8 p.m., when the
voting officially ended. Several international observers
had monitored the election.
About 7.8 million people were eligible to vote and
Janos Nemeth, chairman of the Elections Committee,
said preliminary figures showed turnout was more than
70 percent.
Premier Nemeth, who voted at a state-run kinder
garten serving as one of 11,000 polling stations across
the nation, declined to predict the chances of his Social
ist Party, which has governed since reform-oriented
Communists formed it after defecting from their party
in October.
“The only thing I hope for is that a strong govern
ment is created,” Nemeth said, adding that only a gov
ernment not hamstrung by the opposition can deal with
the nation’s ailing economy.
His comments reflected widespread acceptance, even
among Socialists, that his party would not do well de
spite its role, unique in Eastern Europe, in steering
Hungary to democratic reform.
Instead of crediting the Socialists for volunteering to
play by democratic rules, most voters remember the ex
cesses of more than four decades of one-party rult
have made Communists unpopular throughout[t(
viet bloc.
“I won’t consider it an act of God if I don’tna
into government,” Nemeth told reporters. “I
over the reins head high and with a clear conscieii
don’t have bitterness in my heart but satisfaction. 1 '

I will hand over the reins head high
and with a clear conscience. I don’t haw

parties, Nemeth had one of two chances of elect#
an individual candidate or as a nominee of his parti
the Budapest regional slate. If chosen in Szerencs,
meth would be struck from the party list.
Throughout the month-long campaign for331
liamentary seats, Socialist candidates attempted to
vince the electorate of their commitment to am,

But pre-election opinion polls indicated theSocii
would finish no higher than fourth place, with ant

they can be mainstreamed as quickly
as possible.
Garcia said the ideas Zaeske pre
sented were misleading.
“Let me submit to you that the
ideas that Mr. Zaeske promotes are
nativist, restrictionist, exclusionary
and racist,” Garcia said.
Garcia said the history of the set
tlement of America has been mis
construed by English-only advocates
to suggest that English always has
been the language of choice. In fact,
Garcia said, the founding fathers be
lieved an official language would re
strict freedom.
“The melting pot mythology that
has been espoused by the English-
only advocates is totally false,” Gar
cia said.
Garcia said the diversity of the dif
ferent people in the country has in
creased the strength of the country.
Official Englisn would deny mi
norities their cultural identities, Gar
cia said, and weaken the nation as a
whole.
“Official English teaches our chil
dren to be ashamed of their cultures
and to forget their past,” Garcia said.
Garcia said people like Zaeske
should promote English-plus pro-
g rams and not try to force people to
ecome white American clones. Gar
cia said many Hispanics are of
fended when people think minori
ties are un-American because they
speak a different language.
Garcia said Hispanics and other
minorities realize English is a very
important language and will teach
their children English sotheyai
sucessful in the American econo:
Garcia said that where the l
ual system is implemented [
children learn faster and adti
much more quickly.
Garcia said bilingualism is
only way minorities can receiv
proper education and leadproi
live lives in the United States.
Official English is only the:
step towards discrimination aga
minorities, Garcia said.
“We need to work togetherto
derstand each other,” Garcia ii
“America is made of many pi
Hispanics, Asians, blacks and wk:
We all are different and that’s*
gives America her strength."
