The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, voiced his opinion for the first time following the setback of his Fidesz party in the parliamentary vote held on April 12. Via a video message on his personal Facebook profile, he declared a reformation of the party, as HVG.hu reports .
“In the upcoming weeks, we will execute a reorganization, visit every constituency, gather our volunteers, activists, deputies, and candidates, and on April 28, we will conduct a session of the national electoral committee,” stated Orban in a brief video.
The Prime Minister also pointed out that on Sunday, the roster and contenders from his political entity garnered backing from over 2.25 million voters. He mentioned that in 2014, owing to the endorsement of an equivalent quantity of voters, they attained a substantial triumph in the elections, but on Sunday this proved adequate merely for a respectable showing and defeat.
He also expressed that “constituents of the national faction can invariably depend on them,” as he opines that Fidesz constitutes the most unified political entity within the nation.
With 98.94% of the ballots tallied, the Tisza party, headed by Peter Magyar, has secured a sweeping victory in Hungary’s parliamentary elections, displacing Orbán and the Fidesz party. Tisza is poised to capture 138 out of the 199 parliamentary seats and will possess a constitutional majority.
The tenure of Viktor Orban has concluded in Hungary. His Fidesz party endured a devastating loss, and the Kremlin forfeited its primary ally in Europe. But does the triumph of the opposition party Tisza and its leader Peter Magyar ensure an improvement in Hungary’s ties with Ukraine? Petro Gerasimenko in the piece “ How Putin Lost His Hungarian “Mouse”: What Orban's Defeat Means for Ukraine and Europe ” examines the reasons for Orban’s loss and its implications for Kyiv and Brussels.
