Viktor Orbán called on the Fidesz party to engage in “national resistance” against the new government. The former Hungarian prime minister and party leader delivered a speech on 12 September at a closed party event in the municipality of Kötcse in south-western Hungary. A recording of the speech was later published online. aktuality.sk ↗
According to the recording, Orbán claimed that the time had come for national resistance. In his view, Fidesz must oppose the new government and prepare for a political struggle. According to Orbán, the party had failed to convince voters of its electoral message, according to which security is its highest priority. teraz.sk ↗
In his speech, he also addressed the reasons for the electoral defeat. He claimed that Fidesz lost because it had failed to solve a political riddle. The details of his explanation concerned the assessment of the campaign and the party’s ability to reach voters. HVG ↗
Orbán addressed his supporters at the closed event after a longer period of time. In his speech, he also mentioned Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok, of whom he said that he had fled. The recording provided the public with a view of Fidesz’s internal assessment of the situation following the electoral defeat. Telex ↗
The call for national resistance suggests that Fidesz wants to act as an opposition political force against the new government. Further developments will depend on how the party translates Orbán’s assessment of the electoral failure into its political strategy.
