[2] He is a founding member and long-time press chief and spokesman of the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP).
[2] In February 2016, Nyakó attempted to submit a referendum initiative concerning Hungary's Sunday shopping ban.
Nyakó and his fellow lawmaker Zoltán Lukács arrived to the building of the National Election Office (NVI) at early hours, but the entrance was blocked by 15-20 "pumped-up and bald" people.
Thereafter Nyakó was held up by the group, who claimed to be "applicants" too, just long enough for a pro-government rival referendum question to be submitted.
Some members of the bald men have been identified as security guards of sports club Ferencvárosi TC, which is headed by Gábor Kubatov, the national party director of Fidesz.
After the scandal and the following rules of the Constitutional Court, the government dropped the law, and the shopping hours in Hungary are again not regulated since 17 April 2016.
