Viktor Orban to open political season today

Between August 24 and 27, Tranzit, a traditional right-wing get-together, will be held again in Tihany, offering a number of interesting political debates. On Friday, Megafon journalist Daniel Bohar will quiz Hungary's prime minister about the tasks facing the country.

In the afternoon, Fidesz MEP Balazs Hidveghi will have a discussion with Momentum party MEP Marton Tompos on next year's European elections. Gabor Fodor and Zoltan Somogyi will take the stage to discuss the role of the European Union. Bence Retvari, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Interior Ministry, will debate with Gyorgy Laszlo Lukacs, leader of the opposition Jobbik party’s parliamentary group, on human resources policy. Most of the debates will be live streamed on the festival's Facebook page.
