The opposition Momentum party will not run in next year’s parliamentary election to promote a government change, the party’s national board decided on Saturday.

“A change of government is not the goal but a step toward a regime change,” Momentum said in a statement.

The original purpose of Momentum was to “complete the political regime change and build an open and colourful country that rewards talent and hard work,” they said, adding that meeting that objective required “the fall of the Orbán regime” and “ensuring that it cannot return in a future election”.

According to Momentum, once a new government takes over “parliament should ensure the independence of the judiciary in the shortest time possible and pass new media and electoral laws.”
