The people of Hungary have made Europe stronger; their vibrant culture and economic dynamism rippled through the entire EU, the president of the European Commission said, marking the 20th anniversary of Hungary's EU accession.
Ruling Fidesz has launched an “outdoor” campaign of putting out billboards and distributing leaflets in preparation for the upcoming European parliamentary and municipal elections, the communications director of the party said in a video on Facebook on Sunday.
Weekly newspapers were already on the stands when tens of thousands of people attended the 15 March rally where Péter Magyar, the divorced husband of former justice minister Judit Varga announced his plan to set up a new centrist party. This week, most commentators express scepticism about his initiative.
Everyone must act for change, Péter Magyar said at a demonstration he called in Budapest on Saturday. “We are the nuclear bomb, the Hungarian people,” Magyar said, adding that the solution could not just be expected from him.
