In less than three weeks, those who support Fidesz will vote for peace, while the votes cast for the left wing will end up in the Brussels war center, Mate Kocsis, Fidesz's parliamentary group leader said at Gyongyos, one of the stops of his rural campaign trail. Speaking at a press briefing ahead of Fidesz's local election forum, Mr Kocsis emphasized that in Hungary, the elections on June 9 will be about security. We've not had soemthing like this for a long time, and voters probably don't even remember having to vote on European issues, or the question of war, but this is what's happening right now, he said.
The Russia-Ukraine war and the European Commission's approach to it has shown in the past two years that
the EU has changed radically: it no longer guarantees peace and prosperity, but represents a policy of war and regression. This is why Fidesz says that change is needed in Brussels.
"The Brussels elite, the leading politicians of the great European countries, are all exhibiting a war psychosis, making statements that are life-threatening and could endanger the whole of Europe. Hungarians may be more concerned, because the war is occuring in a neighboring country, and they do not want to see it escalate, or have irresponsible European politicians bring the continent close to a third world war," Mr Kocsis underlined.
This issue is also at the heart of domestic debates unfolding in Hungary, explained Fidesz's parliamentary group leader. He added that there is a government side with a clear position advocating for peace, while parties and politicians typically financed from abroad are aligned against this stance. They are on the side of war, in line with the demands of their financiers. Thus
those voting for Fidesz in the elections are voting for peace, while the votes cast for the left wing will end up in the Brussels war center,
– he pointed out. He said the government was asking the residents of Gyongyos to support the right wing's pro-peace candidates not just in the EP elections, but also in the municipal vote. In the case of the latter, it does make a difference which municipalities will have a pro-war, or pro-peace leadership, Fidesz's parliamentary group leader explained.
