MSZP: Interim elections in Borsod were a successful test of opposition cooperation

The election of members of parliament in Borsod was a successful test of cooperation from the opposition, said Bertalan Tóth, co-chair of the MSZP, in a statement sent to the MTI on Sunday night.

Bertalan Tóth put it this way: in a traditionally Fidesz district, László Biró, the common candidate of the opposition coalition, remained in close fight in the by-elections. However, the election is still seen as a successful test of the opposition alliance, as their candidate has “fought hard” and all opposition parties have worked hard on the campaign, he added. He thanked the opposition parties, the electorate, and the “guards of democracy” who oversaw the cleanup of the vote, including the vice president of the MSZP, Imre Komjąhi, and the president of Momentum, András Fekete-Győr, who served as electoral delegates. .

The voting rates also showed that more and more people have grown weary of the intimidating policy of the Fidesz regime, which only helps its own servants, Bertalan Tóth wrote. He added that the number of opposition voters must be increased, the institution of pre-election must be applied in the selection of candidates and unity against the Fidesz government must be taken. If the opposition acts with common candidates, a common list, a common prime ministerial candidate and a common program in the 2022 elections, they can overthrow the repressive Fidesz government and build a more beautiful country that creates opportunities, fair, free, supportive and green, wrote the MSZP. co-chair.

Jobbik: He also managed to stand up in a “brutal headwind”

According to Jobbik’s assessment, the opposition’s László Bíró had achieved a serious result with his honest and fair campaign, while “the lies and agonizing agitations of the ruling propaganda machine” kept the people of Borsod under constant pressure.

In a statement sent to the MTI on Sunday night, the opposition party wrote that in a democratic country, this election should have been won by the opposition coalition. In any case, the electoral results show that there is no alternative to the opposition coalition, only then can the Orbán government be replaced in 2022.

Meanwhile, the party’s chairman, Péter Jakab, told a press conference in Lucky that if the opposition could do this in 50 days, “Fidesz” might be afraid of what they might do in 2022.
