In this way, voters can get a better sense of how much is at stake in tomorrow's elections.
"One coffee and we're off!" Tamás Menczer wrote on his Facebook page this morning, on the day of the one million meeting. The communication director of the governing parties said that "today will be a fantastic day! A million people, a million encounters. Everyone will be in the field, our 50,000 activists and all our politicians will be knocking and calling." He added that a million pro-peace people are meeting today in order to win tomorrow.
"Today, pro-peace people are meeting and talking in all parts of the country, after the Peace March we will show our strength again today.
And tomorrow we will all go to vote and defend Hungary's peace!"
- emphasized Tamás Menczer, and also that those in favor of peace are much stronger than those in favor of war.
Dániel Mráz Kacsoh also asked Sámuel Ágoston about this day in Reaksió. According to the head of the Nézőpont Institute, the day of one million meetings is "mobilization translated into Hungarian". He believes that it is very important for the Fidesz voting base to feel that they do have something to lose.
"Even if the left always does the favor of believing in victory two months before the given election. And since they have excellent communication channels, they are also trying to make the whole country believe that Viktor Orbán is over. Like when Péter Márki-Zay was planning what kind of furniture he would buy in Carmelita in January 2022, when Gergely Karácsony wanted to ride his bike up there in 2018, or when Lajos Simicska thought he would sweep everything away."
says Sámuel Ágoston Mráz.
Adding that the left, which is also trying to convince the rightists that they will be defeated, is actually doing them a huge favor.
"Because they don't allow the right-wing to trust themselves and encourage those who belong here to feel even more how much is at stake in the elections; as well as tomorrow's."
A million encounters today to win tomorrow
The leader of Fidesz's parliamentary faction also got involved in the campaign finale.
Máté Kocsis is also participating in the largest mobilization ever. The faction leader of Fidesz indicated on his social media page that he will of course also be involved in the campaign finale:
A million encounters today to win tomorrow
- said the politician in his Facebook post Máté Kocsis also published a video in which he highlighted: "The stakes are huge on Sunday, we have to stand up for peace, and Baja and Dusnok know this as well."
Viktor Orbán: We will meet one million Hungarians on Saturday
We will be there in every settlement!
Fidesz also reported on its official social media page that the largest ever campaign began on Saturday morning, the Day of One Million Meetings.
The video said that “today we are knocking on every door, calling every supporter and
we will be there in every settlement, from the biggest cities to the smallest villages".
They also announced that they would personally visit one million people with 50,000 activists, because, as they put it, "the stakes are huge! War or peace! We will decide on this on Sunday! Let's all be there!"
Only peace, only Fidesz! Vote!”
the video ended.
