EP list of Fidesz official, includes an Olympic bronze medallist
The board of the ruling Fidesz party has approved the parliamentary group’s proposal on the party’s list for the European parliamentary elections, in agreement with the junior ruling Christian Democrats (KDNP), Fidesz MEP Tamás Deutsch said on Thursday.
The party assembly is expected to adopt the list on 15 April, Deutsch, who also heads the list, said.
New candidates include Balázs Győrffy, the head of the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture (NAK), and Paralympian medalist fencer Pál Szekeres, Deutsch said in the statement.
The representation of Hungarian farmers is especially important at a time when “farmers across Western Europe are revolting against the poisonous green ideology of Brussels,” he said.
Fidesz-KDNP is running on a “national” list, Deutsch said, fielding two new candidates from Hungarian communities across the borders, Annamária Vicsek from Vojvodina and Viktória Ferenc from Transcarpathia. Andrea Bocskor and Andor Deli, who have been members of the Fidesz group in the outgoing cycle, are running for re-election, “to continue to work in the interests of Hungarians across the borders”, he added.
At the request of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, MEP Balázs Hidvéghi will continue to work as a member of the Hungarian parliament, and MEP LÃvia Járóka will continue her career in the field of academy, Deutsch said. MEPs László Trócsányi and Edina Tóth will not run for re-election, either, he said.
Deutsch said “this team is capable of actively participating in the hoped and expected right-wing turn at the EP.”
“European right-wing and sovereigntist forces have a one-time chance of creating possibly the largest parliamentary group in the EP in June. We will be part of that wide-ranging right-wing sovereigntist cooperation,” he said.
