Áder accepts nomination for second presidential term

Budapest (MTI) – President János Áder has accepted the ruling Fidesz party’s nomination to serve as Hungary’s president for a second term, the president’s office told MTI on Thursday.

“I accept the nomination. I will stand in next spring’s democratic election in accordance with the provisions of the constitution,” the office’s statement quoted Áder as saying.

Áder said he had always considered the presidency a constitutional service in which the head of state answers to the Hungarian nation.
