Even as a result of the amnesty case, the left-wing parties did not gain strength in the past month, based on the results, the Fidesz-KDNP would win the European Parliament elections this Sunday, according to the latest opinion poll of the Nézőpont Institute.

According to a representative survey conducted by telephone interviews of a thousand people at the beginning of January and at the end of February

the Fidesz-KDNP list would win 47 percent of the votes in a European Parliament election this Sunday,

which represents a difference within the margin of error compared to January's 50 percent support. This result would mean that the governing parties would be able to keep the thirteen seats they won in the European Parliament in 2019.

    Support for left-wing parties did not increase compared to the previous month,

the parties running on a joint parliamentary election list in 2022 (and then achieving a list result of 36 percent) have a total supporter base of 29 percent, which is almost the same as the 30 percent result in January, the announcement reads.

As it was written, the Democratic Coalition's 14 percent result shows no change compared to its support in January. However, this would no longer be sufficient to preserve the 4 seats it won in 2019 due to the support of the other opposition parties that won seats in the European Parliament.

Momentum 7 percent (8 percent in January) shows that it was unable to take advantage of the events of the past month, and it could only win one of the two mandates acquired five years ago with this result, they added.

Mi Hazánk Mozgalom (8 percent) and the Hungarian Kétfarkú Kutya Párt (8 percent) could be new parties that could win two mandates, but the MSZP (2 percent) and the Better (2 percent).

All this does not mean a change compared to the balance of power in January, all parties would achieve almost the same results as at the beginning of the year, they pointed out in the announcement.

They also touched on the fact that, among the parties that did not exist five years ago, the People's Party of Everyone's Hungary (4 percent) and the Second Reform Kor (4 percent) came close to the threshold of the European Parliament, while the People's Party still stands at 1 percent.
