Vona: 2018 Hungarian Election To Be Decided Between Fidesz And Jobbik
- 29 Oct 2015 8:00 AM
Judging by the current polls it is almost certain that the 2018 election will be decided between ruling Fidesz and the opposition radical nationalist Jobbik party, the leader of Jobbik said. Although it will be difficult, the ruling party can be defeated, Gábor Vona told public radio, arguing that in the past, voters always chose between the incumbent and the strongest opposition party.
“It is clear that the political left is incapable of demonstrating any political strength, whether in terms of their level of organisation, their message or leaders,” said Vona.
The Left has become the “political loser” of the migrant crisis, since it could not offer a solution that reflected the sentiments of society, he added.
He said defeating Fidesz would not be an easy task, since the party “is a very strong political army with a lot of experience and a leader who is an old-timer.
” Vona said that over the past 25 years, Orbán was “the only political figure to have survived all kinds of situations and to have proven himself as a capable politician”.
