Election scandal? Budapest mayor Karácsony calls for new election

Gergely Karácsony called for a new election after the National Election Committee (NVB) recounted the invalid votes cast in the recent municipal elections and declared him the winner of the post of Budapest mayor, on Friday evening.

Karácsony wants a new election?

Karácsony said he insisted on his earlier position despite the recount turning out in his favour, because “the whole process has been infinitely manipulative, full of political mislead, tricks, and wire-tapping.”

“All that undermines people’s trust in democracy has been committed … if we want to repair that, we need a new election, a new vote with the same candidates,” he said.

The mayor said he would appeal for legal remedy in connection with the recount and request calling a new election.

“We won once on Sunday. We won for the second time today. And we will win a third time if we have to. 😉 Thank you, Budapest! 💚” Karácsony wrote in his post of Facebook:

  1. RESPECT, the comments and REASON(s) – coming from Mayor Karacsony.
    It’s easy to stand in a Crowd, but it takes Guts and STRENGTH of Character – to stand in Front – Alone.
    Manipulation, under-hand practices – BROADSHEET, by no doubt involvement, could be orchestrated by and from with-in – the Orban – Fidesz Government and MEMBERSHIP.
    DEMOCRACY – let another New Election, which will return Karacony to office, let this BE another confirmation – of DEMOCRACY being Accepted and PRACTICED in Budapest, Hungary, to EFFECT , the clean out, the REMOVAL – for our FUTURE, the practice of illegal interference act’s – tampering, in the CONDUCT of Elections.
    The offenders, that have CAUSED this vile, distasteful, embarrassing occurrence, whether we proceed to the ballot boxes again or not, the instigators, who through there “Acts of Crime” in this election process, that AGAIN shames & embarrasses the name Hungary, must be made Accountable.
    If it is possible, remembering the Judicial System in Hungary is Powered by – Controlled by the Orban – Fidesz Government, if the offenders are apprehended and charged – then through being found – “Proven Beyond Reasonable Doubt” – of there Crimes, they
    should wear the WRATH of the Law(s) provided for there “Acts of Crime”.
    SOLIDARITY of the PEOPLE can effect CHANGE.

    There should be a new election, though. The margin of a few dozen votes is way too small to give this globalist-socialist creep a mandate to ruin Budapest even more.
