Opposition Jobbik Movement for a Better Hungary has changed its name to Jobbik – Conservatives, party leader and MEP Márton Gyöngyösi said after a party congress.

He told a season-opener attended by around 300 people that the party promises to represent values “missing in Hungary’s political life and under attack everywhere around the world”.

He invited everyone “dedicated to a civic, European Hungary” to join.

“We must restore respect for the right wing,” he said and described the party as a “new, composed but resolute conservative political force”.
