Fidesz: Early election not on the cards
Change language:
Voters will choose political parties in the usual way, the head of the Fidesz parliamentary group said on Monday, vowing not to cave into demands to bring the general election forward.
An early election has not been held since 1990 and another will not be held in future, Máté Kocsis said on Facebook in reaction to the latest call for the election to be brought forward, this time by Ferenc Gyurcsány, the leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK).

He accused Gyurcsány and Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar of being stooges of Brussels. “We know full well where the wind is blowing from,” he wrote. Kocsis said the financiers of foreign people of influence had “given orders to stop Viktor Orbán from governing durably after Donald Trump takes office”, adding that Trump and Orbán opposed war and both would impair the “war policy of Brussels” as well as the implementation of the migration pact. With Trump soon taking office, “it is understandable that … it has become urgent for the Brussels elite to effect the quickest possible change of government in Hungary. This is why they want to dissolve parliament; this is why they are demanding early elections…”
Elections are expensive. The government should serve out its term.
