According to the analyst of the Nézőpont Institute, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) made non-objective criticisms and referred to false information in its report on the April 3 parliamentary elections.

On Thursday, Bálint Rotyis highlighted on the M1 current affairs channel that the OSCE must help the integrity of the elections by performing its task objectively based on professional aspects. To do this, he must cooperate with the widest possible range of people and consider the viewpoints of all participants to be of equal weight, he added.

He said that based on the investigation of the Viewpoint Institute, the OSCE formulated ideological criticisms of the Hungarian electoral system, preferring to give the opinion of those organizations that are critical of the current government.

The OSCE objected to the underrepresentation of women among the candidates, as well as the lack of media pluralism and editorial freedom, the analyst said.

Explaining these issues, he said: Fidesz has made a serious contribution to the improvement of the position of women in politics, according to surveys, approximately 80 percent of Hungarians consume both government-friendly and government-critical media, and the Hungarian constitution guarantees editorial freedom.

According to the opposition, the current electoral system is not democratic. He believed that by accepting the results and taking over the mandate in the same electoral system, they accepted the democratic nature of the system.

Bálint Rotyis also touched on the fact that the election depends on who can mobilize more people, and according to this week's research, Fidesz is significantly ahead in this: 49 percent of active voters would vote for the Fidesz-KDNP list, while only 41 percent would vote for the left.

2022plus: The majority of opinion polls (even among those apparently committed to the left-liberal side, many institutes) may measure a reassuring Fidesz advantage, but let us remember the case of the fox and the raven. We should not believe that the governing parties have already won the election, for that to be the case, everyone must go to the polls on April 3. Otherwise, the fox will sing the cheese out of our mouths...
