Hungarian PM Orbán To Send Letter To Supporters
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will contact supporters of his Fidesz party in a letter early in January, concerning next year’s European Parliamentary elections, the communications director of the party said.

Balázs Hidvéghi said that the upcoming election would be more important than any such vote in the past, and insisted that “Brussels has not learnt from a series of terrorist attacks and continues its efforts to make Europe an immigrant destination”.

“We, Hungarians, cannot accept that,” he said, and added that “we need MEPs that represent Hungary in Brussels.”

Fidesz’s candidates will “uncompromisingly promote Hungarian interests in the European Parliament”, Hidvéghi said.
