The big day is going to happen in Hungary

Sponsored content

President János Áder of Hungary has scheduled a legislative election for April 3, along with a referendum on LGBTQ issues, on the same day, as per the president’s office.

Conservative nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz Party will confront a unified front of opposition parties for the first time since sweeping to office in a 2010 landslide, ensuring a competitive election battle.

Voters will determine whether he should continue to promote national sovereignty, traditional Christian values, and anti-immigration and anti-LGBTQ rights policies, which have strained relations between Orbán’s administration and European Union officials in Brussels. The Democratic Coalition, the Socialist Party, liberals, and the previously far-right, now center-right Jobbik make up the opposition coalition.

Worries about Bread and Butter

The opposition has taken advantage of Hungarians’ increased interest in bread-and-butter issues rather than identity politics, such as surging pandemic-driven inflation, now that a ufabet1688 border fence has made immigration a secondary concern.

Orbán has claimed that Fidesz’s strong mandate from past elections has given him the authority to modify legislation, including the constitution. In a bid to bolster Fidesz’s position against the opposition, he has proposed a $2 billion income tax rebate for families, tax benefits for young people, pension increases, and a 20% increase in the minimum wage this year, all of which would add to the budget deficit.

Márki-Zay

Márki-Zay, a 49-year-old Catholic father of seven, sees himself as a conservative rightwinger. He holds degrees in economics, marketing, and engineering and has resided in Canada and the United States as a previous manager for a global corporation.

He’s also an independent who gained notoriety after winning a mayoral by-election in Hódmezvásárhely, a southern Fidesz stronghold, in 2018.

He has created a statewide following and a strong network with a capable, clean-cut family-man image and a strong network known as the Movement for a Hungary of Everyone (MMM). He presents himself as a palatable choice for both leftwing and conservative voters, with the skillful, clean-cut family-man image and Christian values.

Getting in touch with the base

The government’s public relations campaign gets disseminated in print and online media, radio and television broadcasts, and billboards.

It gets mentioned in a government poll in which 97 percent of the 1.423 million individuals who responded to questions about anything from tax cuts to immigration said they supported legislation restricting “sexual propaganda” directed at minors.

Illiberal state

All want to deconstruct Orbán’s “illiberal state,” revise Hungary’s Fidesz-drafted 2011 constitution, and repeal a slew of new “cardinal legislation” pushed through by the prime minister’s majority, which opponents say have aided his hold on power.

“Hungary has deteriorated into a state with no consequences.” “In an election here, the genuine question is who will steal and how much,” Márki-Zay told Euronews.

“We feel that an election must get held today in which no one will steal.” Corruption has to get eradicated. We want to live in a nation where bribery does not organize but actively combated.”

    Marki Zay is no conservative and no friend of Hungary. No thanks! The sausage coalition has nothing good in store for Hungarians. Do not fall for their lies.
