Együtt-PM to Run Independently at Local Council Elections in Budapest

Budapest, August 12 (MTI) – The opposition E-PM party will run independently at the local council elections in Budapest and will make individual agreements with other parties on a district level, a party statement sent to MTI said today.

E-PM said the decision has been made after the Socialists had refused to accept a deal made with the Democratic Coalition on Friday.

It is regrettable that as a result of the Socialists’ decision, “a situation has developed in Budapest that will not represent a good solution to all districts in Budapest,” the E-PM said. The Socialists endanger the strengthening of opposition forces in Budapest and there could be Budapest districts where more than one democratic opposition candidate will face the ruling Fidesz candidate, the statement added.
