The overwhelming victory of the Fidesz-KDNP was not only visible from the moon and Brussels, but its news even reached Strasbourg, where the Hungarian election results were well discussed. Left-liberal politicians in Hungary also rained demagogic statements. It's clear: the mourning work will take place for a few more days.
Bernard Guetta , a politician from the Renew faction of the European Parliament, organized a debate on the results of the Hungarian elections in Strasbourg on Tuesday with the participation of experts and politicians.
István Ujhelyi , the member of parliament of the MSZP, said in the debate: it is important to understand why more people voted for "Orbanistan" than for what the opposition alliance put on the table. In his opinion, in order to build democracy, it is necessary to examine the attitude of those re-electing the government.
He emphasized, however, that "elections cannot be rigged only on election day", because some voters "interpret the reality dictated by the government" .
Balázs Hidvéghi , Fidesz's member of the EU Parliament, emphasized that Fidesz won a clear victory in the elections for the fourth time in a row.
He emphasized: the proportion of people voting for the government increased significantly in each social stratum and in each type of settlement.
According to his opinion, the opposition lives in a fictitious reality bubble, with an astonishing lack of understanding of Hungarian society and Central European relations, as well as a lack of self-reflection after such a crushing election failure.
According to the politician, the foundation of the government's success is that it puts Hungarianness and Hungarian interests at the center. As he said, when the government came to power in 2010, it inherited a "country destroyed by left-liberal governance" . The correct economic policy decisions of the Hungarian government, including the reduction of personal tax burdens, the taxation of international investors and banks, balanced the budget, and the strong family policy encouraged young people to start families. He also cited as an example that Hungary was the first to stand up against illegal migration in the EU.
the Hungarian government's policy are its own interests, not expectations from elsewhere. he emphasized. As he said, it is also important for the government to have a dialogue with the people, and he is interested in their opinion, which cannot be said about the opposition. Balázs Hidvéghi also emphasized that the opposition is still Ferenc Gyurcsány , and he believed that the opposition's series of electoral failures can be attributed to this, among other things.
Márton Gyöngyösi , Jobbik EU member of parliament, said that members of the Hungarian government avoided political debate during the campaign, and recalled that Viktor Orbán last stood up to debate the candidate of the opposition in 2006. "Thus, we didn't get to know the government's program either, just loud slogans." he said. He stated: There were free but "not fair" elections in Hungary.
He also criticized the government's communication and the Hungarian public service media. He said that Jobbik based the opposition coalition primarily on common values, leaving aside the differences of opinion between the individual parties.
