gC gg gm Mgr Jk Hungarian Journal Hungarian Parlamential Elections Hungary’s Orbán romps to victory as far-right makes gains With nearly all the votes counted in Sunday’s general election, Hungary’s governing Fidesz party looks set to maintain its overwhelming majority in parliament for the next four years, while its far-right rival Job­bik was supported by more people than opinion polls had suggested. With 99 percent of votes counted, Orban’s Fidesz party was on 44.5 percent, far ahead of the fractious opposition centre-left alliance led by Attila Mesterhazy at 26.0 percent. In third place, the far-right Jobbik party made strong gains to take a 20.5 percent share, up from 16.7 percent in the last election in 2010. Prime Minister declared the victory Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared a resounding victory for his Fidesz-led conservative alli­ance on Sunday after getting re­elected for another four years by the Hungarian voters. According to the National Election Office’s preliminary results, based on a count of over 98.97% of the votes, Fidesz-KDNP won 44.54% of the vote, giving the incumbent party a projected 133 seats, in a Parliament of 199 seats. Prime Minister Orbán, who is the first Hungarian prime minis­ter to win two elections in a row, thanked voters for casting their Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, waves ballot. He emphasised that voters to Fidesz party supporters after winning the “said no to hatred or quitting the parliamentary election European Union” and that the vote underlined “Hungary has a place in the EU”. He pointed out that the outcome of the election endorsed the Government’s policies of job-creation and supporting families. “A new and magnificent era is ahead of us; I invite the citizens of Hungary to enter that era together” with the view of making Hungary a “great and successful” country, he stated. “Fidesz has won a sweeping victory, the significance of which cannot even be estimated as yet,” the Hungarian Prime Minister underlined. “Hun­gary is now the most united nation in Europe,” he declared. European People’s Party President Joseph Daul and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso congratulated the Prime Minister. Mr Daul said the Hung§rian nation had renewed its confidence in Viktor Orbán, who always told it the truth and carried out brave reforms, putting the economy back on its feet. Mr Daul also expressed the conviction that Fidesz would also triumph in the European parliamentary elections. The final turnout was 61.9%, slightly lower than in the first round of the 2010 ballot. The count of around 120,000 votes cast in missions abroad and by citizens, who lodged their ballots in districts other than their home one, will be completed next Saturday. During the course of the election, monitors from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said they were satisfied with the voting process. House Hungarian Caucus Statement on Hungarian Election Caucus Co-Chairs Harris, Joyce, and Kaptur Congratulate Prime Minister Orbán Andy Harris, M.D. Dave Joyce Marcy Kaptur Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representatives Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01), Dave Joyce (OH-14), and Marcy Kaptur (OH-9), Co-Chairs of the House Hungarian Caucus, released the following statement following the Parliamentary elections in Hungary on April 6, 2014: On behalf of the House Hungarian Caucus, we congratulate Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on his party’s electoral victory. In 1989, Hungarians led the way in dismantling the Iron Curtain by calling for free and fair elections. Like our own Founding Fathers, what Hungarians yearned for during the decades of com­munist dictatorship was “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Twenty-five years later, Hungary is a member of the EU, a strong ally within NATO, and Hungarians have seen democratic self-government flourish. This is the seventh time since Hungary’s first democratic elections in 1990 that Hungarians have chosen their duly elected representatives through free and fair elections. As recent events in Ukraine and Crimea show, free and fair elections are not something to be taken for granted in the region, and we look forward to working together with the government to advance our shared ideals of inclusiveness and human rights for all people. As co-chairs of the Hungarian Caucus in the U.S. Congress, we express our hope that members of this legislative body and the Hungarian Parliament will continue to work on issues of common interest. We look forward to welcoming the new Members of the Hungarian Par­liament to Washington. Triumphant PM Orbán scorns critics Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has dismissed interna­tional criticism after his conservative Fidesz party triumphed in a par­liamentary election. He said voters had given Fidesz “unquestionable” backing for its programme and constitutional changes. An official from the OSCE international monitoring group, Adao Silva, said restrictive campaign rules and biased media coverage had helped Fidesz. Mr Orbán told the BBC that he had been backed by voters. The criticism from the Organisation for Security and Co-opera­tion in Europe (OSCE) echoed previous criticisms from EU politicians about Mr Orban’s expansion of state power in key areas such as justice and the media. One in five Hungarian voters supported the radical nationalist Jobbik. Jobbik increased its support from 855,000 to 983,000, probably thanks to a more moderate tone in the campaign by its young leader Gabor Vona. The centre-left continued its decline. Months of squab­bling between the five political párties which belong to it were only put aside at the last minute, bbc.com Hungary’s Jobbik is EU’s strongest national radical party Hungary’s far-right Jobbik party is now the strongest national radical party in the European Union, Jobbik leader Gabor Vona said on Sunday after his party got close to 21 percent of party list votes. “We did not manage to achieve the break- Jobbik party head Gabor Vona through in individual mandates that we wished for, (but) we achieved over 20 percent which not many people would have believed,” Vona told a news conference. “Jobbik continuously ... increases its popularity...And ahead of the European Parliament elections it is important to make clear that today in the EU Jobbik is the strongest national radical party,” he added.
