Poll: if only Romania Hungarians voted, Fidesz would have an 83 pc majority
Fully 42 percent of dual citizens among Romania’s ethnic Hungarian minority would cast their vote in Hungary’s parliamentary election next year, mostly supporting ruling Fidesz, according to a poll released on Wednesday.
Â
The poll, conducted by the Balvanyos Institute and Transylvania Inquiry on a representative sample of 1,218 adults, showed that about 60 percent of Romania Hungarians had Hungarian citizenship, and
Â
83 percent of those wishing to participate in the election would vote for Fidesz.
Â
Four percent of respondents said they would support conservative opposition Jobbik, while only 3 percent would vote for the allied opposition parties of Hungary.
Â
Ninety-four percent of respondents said they were familiar with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and 89 percent had a positive opinion of him. Eighty-three percent said they knew who Democratic Coalition leader Ferenc Gyurcsány was, while 69 percent were familiar with Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó and 59 percent with Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony.
Â
Seventy-seven percent indicated their rejection of Gyurcsány,
Â
while all government politicians had a positive (50 percent or more) popularity index.
Hungarians living in Romania are supporting Fidesz because Fidesz sees them as fellow Hungarians.
The opposition considers them Romanians and calls them migrants when they come to Hungary to work and in many cases settle here. We welcome them because they are our brothers and sisters.
The Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang led opposition hates Hungarians. All one has to do is watch programs of opposition ATV to see the contempt these people express for Hungarians or read some of their writings..
