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.
The Budapest Municipal Court has fined Elod Novak, a lawmaker of the Mi Hazank (Our Homeland) party, to 1.1 million forints (EUR 2,690) for various instances of removing rainbow flags and defacing a poster connected to LGBTQ issues.
The leadership of the opposition Tisza party has decided to expel Evelin Vogel from the party, and party leader Peter Magyar will file a report with the police alleging blackmail, the party said.
The opposition Tisza Party aims to achieve "not only a regime change but a new Compromise", party leader Peter Magyar said in a statement sent to MTI on Sunday.
