Opposition Tisza: Fidesz-DK grand coalition formed in the EP

The “Fidesz-DK grand coalition” has been officially formed in the European Parliament with the two Hungarian parties voting together against the new European Commission which received decisive support despite “Orbán and Gyurcsány joining forces”, the leader of the Tisza Party said on Wednesday.

Péter Magyar said in a statement that “it is especially funny that Orbán and his people did not support even their own candidate, Olivér Várhelyi”. Magyar added that the latest poll results had demonstrated that “a smear campaign using manipulated recordings” against him did not work but “had the contrary effect”. He said the Tisza Party would continue to focus on healthcare, education, child protection, rescuing the Hungarian countryside, setting the Hungarian economy on a growth path and managing the cost-of-living crisis, issues that impact the daily life of Hungarians.
