The leftist Democratic Coalition (DK) has called on outgoing ruling party mayors “not to destroy any documents” before they hand over their post.

Erzsébet Gy. Németh, DK’s incoming deputy to the municipal assembly of Budapest, noted that the results of the recent elections are being contested in the 1st, 4th, 8th and 9th districts.

The aim of those appeals is “to play for time” and suggested that before the posts are handed over “evidence could disappear”.

Opinion: Why More Dutch Are Leaving for Hungary - Culture, Community, Conservatism

• 9 Feb 2026 5:55 AM

When people think of Europeans migrating abroad, they often imagine sunny destinations with Mediterranean beaches in Southern Europe. Indeed, countries such as Portugal and Spain remain very popular.
