Hungary’s opposition leader Magyar calls for calm, fair election process

Hungary’s opposition party Tisza leader Péter Magyar has said he agrees with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on the need for “unity, cohesion and security” in the country.

Magyar called on voters to support the Tisza party in the election scheduled for April 12, Caliber.Az reports, citing Hungarian media.

He accused the ruling Fidesz party of systematic violations during the campaign, including disinformation and information operations.

However, he expressed confidence that these actions would not affect the outcome of the vote and that his party would secure victory.

Magyar also said that the current political system was shaped by the same forces that previously ensured Orbán’s parliamentary majority, but added that some of those supporters now feel betrayed.

He urged citizens to avoid provocations, false flag operations, and violence, and to remain calm on election day.

He said party observers would be present at polling stations to ensure the integrity of the vote and described election day as a celebration of democracy and stressed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power.
