He has done it with a declaration of intent from the first moment: greetings –“good morning”– in Hungarian, French and English, thus underlining his desire to bring the country closer to the European Union after years of isolation and confrontation. “I will be talking to European leaders all day and I don’t want to make them wait,” he told the national and international media present during his press conference.
His victory, which ends 16 years of ultranationalist government of Viktor Orbánhas been forceful. It has achieved a parliamentary supermajority of 138 seatsfive above the simple majority. Results that contrast with the overwhelming defeat of the until now ruling party, Fidesz, which has barely obtained 55 seats.
“We have made history,” he said, after thanking the voters who, “have understood the importance of a vote that has determined his intervention, he has also charged against what he has described as “corruption regime” the previous government. “Fidesz used to have two-thirds of Parliament because there was a propaganda machine behind it. The entire state was run by the party.”
In this context, he added that his intention is to break with that model and promote “regime change” that, as he recalled, citizens have clearly voted for. “We are not going to use the institutions for the party,” he assured, after denouncing that until now the country was totally controlled—from the media to economic circles—by “a criminal group”.
Specifically, he has criticized the prime minister Viktor Orbánwhom he blames for having led the country towards an autocratic drift over the last decade. “Orbán has betrayed the Hungarians, and the country has been devastated, betrayed to become the most corrupt country in the EU,” he said.
In this sense, who is expected to be the new head of government after his official appointment by the president has assured that his party, Tisza, “will represent all Hungarians, even those who have not voted for us.” He has also extended that commitment to those who live outside the country: “Even to those who are not in the country. I will represent your interests“he reiterated.
To carry out this mission, he has asked the president to convene a new Parliament as soon as possible, once the results are final, no later than May 4, when the votes from abroad have been counted. “There is no time to waste”he noted, also expressing his desire that “the transition be quick and short.”
With a serious tone, far from the effusiveness of the electoral campaign, he has indicated that his main objective will be to unlock the 18,000 million euros of European funds, currently blocked by Brussels for violations of the rule of law detected during the so-called orbanism.
In this sense, he has stressed that this is a key issue for the country’s economy. “Without them, the Hungarian economy cannot improve,” he indicated. These tensions are part of the political legacy of the Government of Orbánunder which blockages by European institutions have accumulated.
He has also dedicated a few words to Moscow and Beijing, with whom the Government of Viktor Orbán had strengthened ties in recent years, amid criticism from the European bloc.
“I hope that they respect Hungary as a sovereign and independent country and that they do not intervene in the country’s internal affairs,” he stated, thus marking a position of continuity in the formal defense of national sovereignty, although with a more conciliatory tone towards its international partners.
