The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) wants Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar to reveal whether he plans to support the work of Gergely Karácsony, the mayor of Budapest, or foil it, DK lawmaker Erzsébet Gy Németh said.
Changes in the world order are under way and Asia will be at its centre, so a “Hungarian grand strategy” is both needed and in the pipeline, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in his address at the Bálványos Summer University in Băile Tuşnad, Romania.
The Fidesz-Christian Democrats have maintained their support, with 47% of decided voters favouring the ruling alliance, while the opposition Tisza Party has increased its backing to 29% since the European parliamentary elections in June, the Nézőpont Institute said.
A general meeting of the opposition Respect and Freedom (Tisza) Party elected Péter Magyar its chairman on Monday, the party told MTI.
