Hungarian opposition party can split after former chairman’s unexpected call concerning the 2026 elections
A former opposition Momentum MP has appealed to the party not to run in the 2026 elections and instead set up a 500 million forint fund aimed at “changing the regime”.
Former chairman shared his post before the meeting of the party board
Andras Fekete-Győr, the former chairman and founding member of the movement, said in a post on Facebook on Wednesday that the proliferation of parties vying to compete in the 2026 ballot “out of selfish political interests” risked undermining the aim of “regime change”, and Momentum “is no exception”.
Noting Momentum’s current poor standing in polling surveys of “2-3 percent”, he said the party no longer authentically represented the idea of a real change in politics and it appeared more and more like other failing parties. So running in 2026 would not be the solution “but part of the problem”, he said. Momentum should “take a step back so that Hungary can take two steps forward”, he added.
He called on Momentum to call an extraordinary meeting of delegates to vote to use the party’s state subsidies to set up the “fund for regime change” to finance “resistance movements, demonstrations, and … local press critical of the regime, as well as those politically persecuted by the Orban regime”.
Current leader’s reaction
Márton Tompos, Momentum’s leader, said it was the party’s board and meeting of delegates that would make a decision “as soon as possible” on whether they will run in 2026. Tompos told MTI that he had read Fekete-Győr’s Facebook post “with regret”, adding, at the same time, that internally Momentum had long been debating whether or not they should run next year.
He said Fekete-Győr had “arbitrarily brought this debate out in the open, converting an internal dilemma into likes and putting pressure on our internal decision-making”. Tompos said he understood that attention was essential for a politician, adding, however, that, in the interest of their own community, internal debates should not be put in the spotlight.

In other words, you can’t win at the polls because you have almost no ideas and those few ideas you do have SUCK and no-one, including your own family, wants to vote for you, so use Soros’ and E.U.’s money to stir up trouble on the streets and inconvenience working people.
Got it.
