Zoltán Kovács published an opinion article with this title in English the euronews.com The Hungarian government's secretary of state responsible for international communications reacted to articles that appeared recently, predicting fraud in the 2022 Hungarian election.

As he wrote, a series of malicious people are upsetting the mood with the claim that the Prime Minister has no intention of accepting the results of the elections due this spring, and that the vote will be rigged.

The narrative has been built in the left-wing press for a long time, and it is no coincidence that the minister in charge of the Prime Minister's Office was asked about the topic several times during yesterday's government briefing. According to the International IDEA Institute, the situation of democracy in Hungary has been steadily deteriorating since 2010, and the left-wing prime ministerial candidate has indicated well in advance that he will not accept the results of the election if Fidesz wins, because he believes that this can only be achieved through fraud.

According to Zoltán Kovács, this media campaign should not deceive anyone.

- If Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is elected again, and I think it will happen, it will be because of the broad support of the voters, which he can thank for the results achieved during his work - economic recovery, jobs, growth, tax cuts and affordable energy prices during the pandemic - he explained. who is the secretary of state.

He reminded me: according to an article in Euronews, such a turn is so likely that Europe "must prepare for a potentially rigged election:" The author warns in a dramatic and ominous tone: "European democracy may be heading for its own Capitol moment", implying that to the January 2021 violence in Washington.

– These assumptions are as cynical as they are absurd. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the government coalition are campaigning with the many results achieved during their administration. I think the voters will re-elect Viktor Orbán because the prime minister has moved the country forward and achieved real results for the Hungarians - responded Zoltán Kovács in his article published on Euronews.
