Jobbik Declines To Come Up With Nominee For President
- 6 Feb 2017 6:18 AM
The group leader added that nobody had a chance to become a presidential candidate “without approval by [Prime Minister] Viktor [Orbán]” and suggested that Jobbik’s deputies should stay away from the “performance” in which the “obvious” winner will be the prime minister’s preference.
Volner slammed János Áder, the incumbent president, and László Majtényi, whose name has been suggested as a possible candidate by the leftist opposition, and said that neither could meet any of Jobbik’s criteria.
