Initiative for the homeless vs political campaign?

Initiative of students of social work and sociology together with activists showed up to hold “office hours” for homeless people in a temporary tent, called "Crisis Center" (Krízis Központ) at Blaha Lujza square in Budapest.They're providing emergency humanitarian assistance for homeless people. Just 30 meters away approx 2000 meals are served to homeless people by "Magyar Szociáldemokraták Pártja (Hungarian Social Democrats' Party)" led by Andor Schmuck. (The only party which is provides food for anyone who's in need during the campaign instead of spending for billboard and TV ads) The truck of Hungarian association Oxyteam which provides rescue and ambulance support at all national sporting events just parked a few meters away from the location where the political party served the food. Nothing to do with this if they don't label the truck with the following text " Egészségbusz (Health Bus, Nem kampánybusz (Not for political campaign ), Szociáldemokraták (Social Democrats). Permits were provided by the local authority but only for those are requested with political will, told by one of the Crisis Center activist.

(A parliamentary election will be held in Hungary on 6 April 2014.)
