Fidesz (Alliance of Young Democrats), the conservative party of Viktor Orbán, yesterday lost a by-election in the West. An election organized to replace the member for Veszprém, also a former foreign minister, became European Commissioner for Education, Culture and Citizenship. As Attila Magyar precise, a member of our office in Budapest, "this result is primarily symbolic. Few people expected that the opposition candidate wins. There is one year Tibor Navracsics, current European Commissioner, won with 20% of votes over his opponent left. "
The winner, Zoltán Kész is an independent candidate who campaigned against the government and corruption which he accuses the ruling party.
"I say to Viktor Orbán that we have had enough of their corruption. We want a government for the Hungarian people. My friends, we can be happy. We have sufficient power to change the country. The people are always stronger than the powerful leaders. In Veszprém, we showed people not to be afraid. "
In losing this seat, Viktor Orbán's party loses its "super-majority" of two-thirds which has enabled it to increase in forces of the Constitution but also of justice, the media, or the economy.
