Peter Magyar, the leader of the Tisza party, on Monday lambasted the government's "bogus national security review" which he said was an attempt to divert attention from growing grocery prices, failing heating systems in hospitals and "the railway system falling apart".
Gergely Karacsony, the mayor of Budapest, has said ruling Fidesz wanted to boost its own election chances by reducing the number of electoral districts in the capital and thereby diluting the city's voting weight in parliament relative to its population.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said he was grateful to Georgians for not letting their country become "a second Ukraine". Orban also told a press conference in Tbilisi on Tuesday that no one dared question the legitimacy of the general election in Georgia as free and democratic.
The opposition Socialist Party elected Imre Komjathi as its leader at the party's congress on Saturday.
