The president, Jobbik, said the opposition made history despite the defeat.

Zsófia Koncz of Fidesz, László Bíró, a joint opposition candidate, was eliminated but eliminated from Fidesz’s election in the by-elections. László Bíró thanked everyone for going to the polls, congratulated Koncz and then said that he could continue his work from the municipal assembly.

Thank you to the parties for being able to join, to the voters who understood the importance of working together. It was a difficult choice, I think it could be successful in 2022.

Péter Jakab, president of Jobbik, also thanked the opposition couples behind the candidate and the activists who “fought in the 42 settlements” during the past period.

The opposition made history, they were in a very close fight for 50 days. If the opposition has been able to do this in 50 days, Fidesz may be afraid of what they will be able to do in 2022.

According to James, there is no alternative to the opposition coalition, “the antidote seems to be the threat from Fidesz and the lie the mayors have also embarked on”. (According to James and other Jobbik politicians, the mayors put pressure on the people before the vote.)

Jakab said they were assigned the task, that they would continue to work in the opposition coalition to succeed. Responding to a question, he said that they would have to go to rural settlements more than before, even to the smallest town.

President András Fekete-Győr Momentum told hvg.hu before the elections ended that it would not be possible to run for such a divisive candidate in 2022, when Jakab said that Bíró was an inclusive candidate, as he won a great victory in Tiszaújváros , a city run by Balodl. .

When asked if Zsófia Koncz was better in proportion to her father, Jakab said that Fidesz “was the choice of a logistics competition, the Fidesz voter knew where to go if he needed potatoes.” According to James, “there is a potato king in Hungary.”

Fidesz’s candidate, Zsófia Koncz, won the interim parliamentary elections in Borsod with 16,719 votes, while László Bíró obtained 15,875 votes. You can read our electoral article by clicking here.
