Schiffer would have taken Matolcsy away on a lead ten years ago, now he disagrees with the lead.

András Schiffer, a founding member of LMP, expressed in a recent open letter that the treatment of suspects in custody should adhere to proportionality, contrasting his past statements about György Matolcsy. In 2016, Schiffer suggested Matolcsy should be led away in handcuffs due to his controversial salary increase amid a scandal. He now argues that while Matolcsy's past actions warranted such treatment, his current status as a private citizen changes the context. Schiffer emphasizes that legal measures should be based solely on statutory requirements, not public outrage, and insists that human rights apply to everyone, including political opponents. He has shifted politically towards the right in recent years, criticizing various political figures and parties.
