Jobbik presents list for EP elections

Deputy leader Marton Gyöngyösi will top the list of conservative opposition Jobbik for the European parliamentary elections, a party spokesman said on Wednesday.

Entered second on the list will be Zoltán Balczó, a current MEP of the party, György Szilágyi said.

Another party spokesman, Péter Jakab, is third on the list, followed by deputy leaders Tibor Bana and Dániel Z Kárpát.

Gyöngyösi said that “there will be much at stake in the May election.

Will Hungarians allow [Prime Minister] Viktor Orbán to drive Hungary out of the European Union and establish a dictatorial rule based on wage-slavery here?”

Jobbik, however, will be an advocate of a just and secure Europe and a free Hungary with fair wages and opportunities for Hungarians to thrive, he said.

The party’s policy will be to represent the interests of Hungarians in the EU, unlike Orbán and his ruling Fidesz party which are solely driven by self-interests, Gyöngyösi added.
