Opposition LMP is launching its European Parliament election campaign at its party congress on February 23 and 24, party board secretary Máté Kanász-Nagy told MTI on Tuesday.

The LMP party celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, he noted.

At the congress, the party will approve its EP election programme and finalise its list of candidates, Kanász-Nagy said.

The participants will also discuss possible strategies at the EP election 2019, he said.

Options include running independently, fielding a list of its own but seeking opposition allies for the campaign, participating in a joint all-opposition list, or entering into an alliance with conservative Jobbik, Kanász-Nagy said.

The congress will also discuss the party’s strategy for the upcoming Hungarian local election and accept a “Green Declaration” on the ecological values the party stands for, Kanász-Nagy said.
