Dramatic turn in Hungarian politics: former PM candidate may return

Gábor Vona ran 3 times in parliamentary elections as the Jobbik party’s candidate for Prime Minister. The politician has now spoken in a YouTube programme about the possibility of returning to politics, but with a few conditions.

Gábor Vona has talked about returning to the political scene. In a YouTube programme, the former MP said it was not impossible that he would take the plunge into politics again, although there are a few conditions, Index writes.

The politician, who previously led Jobbik for 12 years and now runs a foundation (Második Reformkor Alapítvány, Second Reform Era Foundation), said:

I have a lot more to say and political ambition. But to get back into politics, I need to get all my sentences right at the end without question marks, and I need to feel that what I can do in politics is more useful than what I can do through a civic foundation. If I don’t have those things, if I feel that politics doesn’t give me more and that I can’t work more effectively in it than I can as a civilian, then there is no point.

Gábor Vona ran as Jobbik’s candidate for prime minister in three elections: in 2010, 2014 and 2018. Under his leadership, Jobbik was the strongest opposition party in 2014 and in 2018. Following his defeat in the 2018 elections, he resigned as chairman of Jobbik (a post he had held since 2006) and also gave up his parliamentary seat.

  1. PREACH – Solidarity, in it – the NEED of ERADICATION, of numbers of SMALL non-effective Political Party’s in Hungary, that continue to “Muddy Waters” – and PREVENT – any TRUE and FACTUAL opposition – to the Orban “mob.”
    Hungary can’t GO it ALONE – Stand alone – Survive alone.
    Hungary can’t exist without Membership of the European Union.
    Hungary can’t – if it WANTS ” quality of life” – a FUTURE – this can ONLY be achieved – as a DEMOCRACY.

    The “resurrection” – again of Hungary, through us being DESIGMATED – PULPERIZED into near submission by Orban and his “mob.”

    WHO and it’s got to HAPPEN like yesterday is its URGENCY, who is going to stand below Citadella – and wave the Hungarian Flag – announcing – come FOLLOW me – and my Party – its OUT with the OLD and In with the NEW – we are the WAY of the FUTURE of Hungary.
    Hope – let us witness see HOPE from SOMEONE or some Political Party.
