Socialists: Orbán Admits Referendum Has No Legal Consequences
- 12 Sep 2016 9:00 AM
According to the opposition Socialists, the prime minister has “admitted” that the upcoming referendum will not have any legal consequences. The Socialists have translated Orbán’s remarks in Kötcse as a request to voters “for their authorisation so that the government could represent them in Europe”.
That authorisation, they said, had been granted when ruling Fidesz won power in 2014.
The referendum is “about Orbán and his Fidesz party”, an initiative costing “billions” and aimed at “covering up issues around education, health care, corruption and low incomes”, the Socialists said.
