Fidesz
The Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; in full, Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a major national conservativepolitical party in Hungary. On a joint list with the Christian Democratic People's Party, Fidesz won two historic supermajorities in the National Assembly in both the 2010 and 2014 elections (two by-elections, both in Veszprém county, have since eliminated the supermajority). Fidesz is, by far, the most popular party in Hungary, with majorities in all county legislatures (19 of 19), almost all (20 of 23) urban counties and in the Budapest city council too, based on the 2014 local elections. It has been described as a big tent party. Fidesz is a member of the European People's Party (EPP).
History
The party was founded in 1988, named simply Fidesz (Fiatal Demokraták Szövetsége, meaning the Alliance of Young Democrats), originally as a youthful libertarian, anti-communist party. Fidesz was founded by young democrats, mainly students, who were persecuted by the communist party and had to meet in small, clandestine groups. The movement became a major force in many areas of modern Hungarian history. The membership had an upper age limit of 35 years (this requirement was abolished at the 1993 congress).

It positions itself as an alternative to the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania, the largest party representing Romania's Hungarian minority.
Platform
The Hungarian Civic Party's main objective is territorial autonomy for the Székely Land, a region in central Romania which has a Hungarian majority.
Electoral performance
At the 2004 local elections, the majority of Hungarian Civic Union candidates were enrolled as independents or on common lists with the People's Action party. The best result was obtained in Harghita County, where three HCU candidates were elected to the county council. Jenő Szász, the president of the HCU, was also re-elected as mayor of Odorheiu Secuiesc, with 51.5% of the vote.

Worried volunteers prepare to monitor Hungary vote
(29 Mar 2022) A grassroots civic initiative in Hungary has recruited ballot counters to observe the upcoming high-stakes election in which nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban will seek a fourth consecutive term. More than 20,000 volunteer ballot counters are being trained to ensure the integrity of the parliamentary elections. The effort to place at least two volunteer ballot counters in each of Hungary's more than 10,000 polling places came from a belief among many supporters of Hungarian opposition parties that without observers from their side, vote tally irregularities could affect the outcome of the April 3 ballot. Recent polls show that Orban, whose Fidesz party has held a nearly uninterrupted two-thirds parliamentary majority since 2010, is likely to face his closest elec...

HUNGARY: PRIME MINISTER GYULA HORN LOOKS SET TO RETAIN LEADERSHIP
(11 May 1998) Natural Sound Hungarian voters have given Prime Minister Gyula Horn's ruling Socialists a nudge towards four more years in power. Although the final results will not be known for another two weeks, Hungarians have grudgingly supported the Socialists' painful reforms that have restored the economy. Despite a strong challenge by the center-right Young Democrats-Civic Party in the first round of parliamentary elections, the Socialists, led by Gyula Horn, moved into a good position to retain the leadership in a May 24 runoff. Austerity measures introduced by Gyula Horn, have turned the Hungarian economy into Eastern Europe's star performer, surpassing the Czech Republic in recent months. But the improvements have yet to reach ordinary citizens' lives, and enthusia...

Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian Pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; In Full Hungarian: Fidesz
Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; in full, Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a national-conservative, right-wing populist political party in Hungary. Founded in 1988 as a liberal youth party opposing the ruling communist government, Fidesz has come to dominate Hungarian politics on the national and local level since its landslide victory in the 2010 national elections on a joint list with the Christian Democratic People's Party, securing it a parliamentary supermajority that it retained in 2014 and again in 2018. Fidesz also enjoys majorities in the county legislatures (19 of 19), almost all (20 of 23) urban counties, and in the Budapest city council.

STORYLINE:
After narrowly defeating Hungary's ruling centre-right coalition, the Socialist Party and the Alliance of Free Democrats prepared on Monday for formal talks on setting up the next government.
Of the 386 seats in parliament, the Socialists won 178 and the Free Democrats 20. The joint list of the incumbent Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party and the Hungarian Democratic Forum won 188 seats.
Recounts were expected in about five constituencies where the difference between the two candidates in the runoff vote was less than 1 percentage point, but it was unlikely the election's outcome would change significantly.
Fidesz, which trailed significantly after the April 7 first round, almost managed to turn around the election in the second round, mainly on the strength of feverish campaigning by Prime Minister Viktor Orban in rural areas, where his party dominated.
But Budapest, which accounted for nearly 20 percent of all votes, remained a Socialist stronghold, the party won 27 of 32 seats at stake in the capital city.
Initial speculation that Fidesz would try to form a minority government was seemingly put to rest by Orban, who conceded defeat to Peter Medgyessy, the Socialists' candidate for the post of prime minister.
Once the final election results are official, President Ferenc Madl is expected to nominate Medgyessy as prime minister, who will then form the next government.
After a tough and hard-fought electoral campaign, which occasionally turned nasty, Medgyessy said his priority would be to calm the political waters. Despite the close result, Medgyessy said the all-time high voter turnout of more than 71 percent guaranteed the new government's legitimacy.
Fidesz supporters, although stung by the defeat, seemed confident of a comeback.

STORYLINE:
In a country normally dominated by Budapest, the capital, it may be those in the countryside who decide the outcome of Hungary's national elections.
The Socialist Party defeated Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party in the vote's first round by only one percentage point in the national vote. But in Budapest, home to nearly 20 percent of the country's 10 million people, the Socialists won by 44 per cent to 32 per cent.
The Socialists, led by Peter Medgyessy, are also ahead in the majority of the 131 constituencies where runoffs will be held on Sunday, but neither party is conceding anything - particularly in rural Hungary, where some of the swing votes might be found.
After weekend rallies in Budapest, both of the leading prime ministerial candidates have spent the last days of the campaign driving from one small town to another, sometimes visiting the same location within a day of each other.
Orban and Medgyessy are similar in a number of political and economic positions.
They support European Union accession; back reforms in the health care system and more funds for the downtrodden agricultural sector; both have proposals for the integration of the large Gypsy minority into mainstream society, and both want to boost investments in Hungary's less-developed eastern half.
But while both have been going after the vote of country folk and retirees, their approach on the campaign trail couldn't be more different.

STORYLINE:
Hungary's electorate turned out in record numbers on Sunday in the second round of voting for the country's next government.
The opposition Socialists hope to build on their narrow lead to defeat the ruling Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party.
In the first round of voting on April 7, the Socialists gained 93 of the 386 seats in parliament against 87 for Fidesz.
The Alliance of Free Democrats, a small liberal party aligned with the Socialists, won four seats and withdrew most of its candidates from Sunday's runoffs to give a boost to the Socialists.
The second round was called to decide seats not won by at least 50 percent.
There are few major differences between the parties in terms of policy - both promise tax cuts and strong economic growth. So the campaign has been transformed into a contest of contrasting styles.
Victor Orban, Prime Minister and head of Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party, visibly worn by the frantic pace of campaigning, refused to make any predictions as he cast his ballot at a downtown Budapest polling station. But he did praise the electorate for a high turnout.
This was more than two percentage points higher than at the same time in the record-setting first round two weeks ago, when more than 71 percent of the electorate voted.

(29 Mar 2022) A grassroots civic initiative in Hungary has recruited ballot counters to observe the upcoming high-stakes election in which nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban will seek a fourth consecutive term.
More than 20,000 volunteer ballot counters are being trained to ensure the integrity of the parliamentary elections.
The effort to place at least two volunteer ballot counters in each of Hungary's more than 10,000 polling places came from a belief among many supporters of Hungarian opposition parties that without observers from their side, vote tally irregularities could affect the outcome of the April 3 ballot.
Recent polls show that Orban, whose Fidesz party has held a nearly uninterrupted two-thirds parliamentary majority since 2010, is likely to face his closest election since taking power.
United For Hungary, a coalition of six opposition parties spanning the political spectrum from liberal to centrist to right wing, has joined together in an effort to overcome what they see as a political, economic, media and electoral system dominated by the right-wing Fidesz and designed to give it an unfair advantage.
Yet while the coalition's strategy of coordinating its candidates across the country and running a single joint candidate for prime minister is likely to boost its performance on election day, the outcome of the contest in many districts could come down to only a few votes.
Adam Sanyo, a data analyst assisting Let's Count Together in training the ballot counters, said such a tight race makes accurate and transparent tallying critical.
"We expect to have at least 10 or even 15 very close seats among the 106 constituencies", he said.
Hungarian supporters of the opposition parties aren't the only ones that will have their eyes on the April 3 election.
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) has said it will send a full-scale election observation mission to Hungary, including 18 long-term observers and 200 others on election day — only the second time it has done so in a European Union country.
In 2014, the OSCE called Hungary's parliamentary elections "free but not fair," and noted that the 2018 elections were characterized by a "pervasive overlap between state and ruling party resources, undermining contestants' ability to compete on an equal basis."

(11 May 1998) Natural Sound
Hungarian voters have given Prime Minister Gyula Horn's ruling Socialists a nudge towards four more years in power.
Although the final results will not be known for another two weeks, Hungarians have grudgingly supported the Socialists' painful reforms that have restored the economy.
Despite a strong challenge by the center-right Young Democrats-Civic Party in the first round of parliamentary elections, the Socialists, led by Gyula Horn, moved into a good position to retain the leadership in a May 24 runoff.
Austerity measures introduced by Gyula Horn, have turned the Hungarian economy into Eastern Europe's star performer, surpassing the Czech Republic in recent months.
But the improvements have yet to reach ordinary citizens' lives, and enthusiasm was muted for both the Socialists and the elections.
Nationwide turnout on a hot, sunny day was only 55 percent, well below the 69 percent turnout of the previous election.
With nearly 71 percent of the ballots counted, the Socialists led the Young Democrats 32.2 percent to 27.8 percent.
The balance of power won't be known for two more weeks, when runoffs are held in races that either didn't produce majority winners on Sunday, or where turnout was below 50 percent.
Victor Orban, leader of Fidesz liberal Party wasn't prepared to make predictions.
SOUNDBITE: (Hungarian)
"I'm not a mind reader, I'm the head of my party. I'm a parliamentary candidate and we have to wait a few weeks to find the results."
SUPER CAPTION: Victor Orban leader of Fidesz
All 386 seats in Parliament are at stake in the two rounds of voting.
The Socialists, who currently hold a majority 209 seats in Parliament, are expected to carry their lead over the Young Democrats into the runoffs.
As a successor to the Soviet-era communists, the Socialists boast the best grassroots system and the most loyal voters.
The Young Democrats, founded a decade ago as Hungary's first opposition party, remained optimistic heading into the runoff campaign.
Only three other parties were on course to top the 5 percent minimum required to qualify for parliament in party-list balloting: the Independent Smallholders 14.1 percent, Free Democrats 7.8 percent and the right-wing extremist Hungarian Truth and Life Party 5.4 percent.
Those wanting the very latest election results could log onto the internet.
The 65-year-old premier, a longtime diplomat in the Soviet bloc, presides over a party of renamed communists.
His role in a mop-up militia following the Soviets' bloody suppression of a 1956 uprising still bothers some Hungarians.
Public opinion also is sharply divided in a country where as many as 2 million people - a fifth of the population - live at or below the poverty line.
But the economic turnaround has won Horn and his Socialists plaudits from Western officials and economists and general backing at home for his reforms.

11. Wide of Orban waving to the crowd
STORYLINE:
Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban declared victory in Sunday's national elections, claiming a mandate for a fourth term as a still incomplete vote count showed a strong lead for his right-wing party.
In a 10-minute speech to Fidesz party officials and supporters at an election night event in Budapest, Orban addressed a crowd cheering “Viktor”.
While votes were still being tallied, it appeared clear that the question was not whether Orban’s Fidesz party would take the election, but by how much.
With around 91% of votes tallied, Orban’s Fidesz-led coalition had won 53%, while a pro-European opposition coalition, United for Hungary, had just over 34%, according to the National Election Office.
It appeared possible that Fidesz would win another constitutional majority, allowing it to continue making deep unilateral changes to the Central European nation.
“The whole world has seen tonight in Budapest that Christian democratic politics, conservative civic politics and patriotic politics have won. We are telling Europe that this is not the past, this is the future,” Orban said.
The contest had been expected to be the closest since Orban took power in 2010, thanks to Hungary’s six main opposition parties putting aside their ideological differences to form a united front against Fidesz. Voters were electing lawmakers to the country’s 199-seat parliament.

Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; in full, Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a national-conservative, right-wing populist political party in Hungary. Founded in 1988 as a liberal youth party opposing the ruling communist government, Fidesz has come to dominate Hungarian politics on the national and local level since its landslide victory in the 2010 national elections on a joint list with the Christian Democratic People's Party, securing it a parliamentary supermajority that it retained in 2014 and again in 2018. Fidesz also enjoys majorities in the county legislatures (19 of 19), almost all (20 of 23) urban counties, and in the Budapest city council. Viktor Orbán has been the leader of the party for most of its history.

STORYLINE:
After narrowly defeating Hungary's ruling centre-right coalition, the Socialist Party and the Alliance of Free Democrats prepared on Monday for formal talks on setting up the next government.
Of the 386 seats in parliament, the Socialists won 178 and the Free Democrats 20. The joint list of the incumbent Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party and the Hungarian Democratic Forum won 188 seats.
Recounts were expected in about five constituencies where the difference between the two candidates in the runoff vote was less than 1 percentage point, but it was unlikely the election's outcome would change significantly.
Fidesz, which trailed significantly after the April 7 first round, almost managed to turn around the election in the second round, mainly on the strength of feverish campaigning by Prime Minister Viktor Orban in rural areas, where his party dominated.
But Budapest, which accounted for nearly 20 percent of all votes, remained a Socialist stronghold, the party won 27 of 32 seats at stake in the capital city.
Initial speculation that Fidesz would try to form a minority government was seemingly put to rest by Orban, who conceded defeat to Peter Medgyessy, the Socialists' candidate for the post of prime minister.
Once the final election results are official, President Ferenc Madl is expected to nominate Medgyessy as prime minister, who will then form the next government.
After a tough and hard-fought electoral campaign, which occasionally turned nasty, Medgyessy said his priority would be to calm the political waters. Despite the close result, Medgyessy said the all-time high voter turnout of more than 71 percent guaranteed the new government's legitimacy.
Fidesz supporters, although stung by the defeat, seemed confident of a comeback.

STORYLINE:
In a country normally dominated by Budapest, the capital, it may be those in the countryside who decide the outcome of Hungary's national elections.
The Socialist Party defeated Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party in the vote's first round by only one percentage point in the national vote. But in Budapest, home to nearly 20 percent of the country's 10 million people, the Socialists won by 44 per cent to 32 per cent.
The Socialists, led by Peter Medgyessy, are also ahead in the majority of the 131 constituencies where runoffs will be held on Sunday, but neither party is conceding anything - particularly in rural Hungary, where some of the swing votes might be found.
After weekend rallies in Budapest, both of the leading prime ministerial candidates have spent the last days of the campaign driving from one small town to another, sometimes visiting the same location within a day of each other.
Orban and Medgyessy are similar in a number of political and economic positions.
They support European Union accession; back reforms in the health care system and more funds for the downtrodden agricultural sector; both have proposals for the integration of the large Gypsy minority into mainstream society, and both want to boost investments in Hungary's less-developed eastern half.
But while both have been going after the vote of country folk and retirees, their approach on the campaign trail couldn't be more different.

STORYLINE:
Hungary's electorate turned out in record numbers on Sunday in the second round of voting for the country's next government.
The opposition Socialists hope to build on their narrow lead to defeat the ruling Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party.
In the first round of voting on April 7, the Socialists gained 93 of the 386 seats in parliament against 87 for Fidesz.
The Alliance of Free Democrats, a small liberal party aligned with the Socialists, won four seats and withdrew most of its candidates from Sunday's runoffs to give a boost to the Socialists.
The second round was called to decide seats not won by at least 50 percent.
There are few major differences between the parties in terms of policy - both promise tax cuts and strong economic growth. So the campaign has been transformed into a contest of contrasting styles.
Victor Orban, Prime Minister and head of Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party, visibly worn by the frantic pace of campaigning, refused to make any predictions as he cast his ballot at a downtown Budapest polling station. But he did praise the electorate for a high turnout.
This was more than two percentage points higher than at the same time in the record-setting first round two weeks ago, when more than 71 percent of the electorate voted.

(29 Mar 2022) A grassroots civic initiative in Hungary has recruited ballot counters to observe the upcoming high-stakes election in which nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban will seek a fourth consecutive term.
More than 20,000 volunteer ballot counters are being trained to ensure the integrity of the parliamentary elections.
The effort to place at least two volunteer ballot counters in each of Hungary's more than 10,000 polling places came from a belief among many supporters of Hungarian opposition parties that without observers from their side, vote tally irregularities could affect the outcome of the April 3 ballot.
Recent polls show that Orban, whose Fidesz party has held a nearly uninterrupted two-thirds parliamentary majority since 2010, is likely to face his closest election since taking power.
United For Hungary, a coalition of six opposition parties spanning the political spectrum from liberal to centrist to right wing, has joined together in an effort to overcome what they see as a political, economic, media and electoral system dominated by the right-wing Fidesz and designed to give it an unfair advantage.
Yet while the coalition's strategy of coordinating its candidates across the country and running a single joint candidate for prime minister is likely to boost its performance on election day, the outcome of the contest in many districts could come down to only a few votes.
Adam Sanyo, a data analyst assisting Let's Count Together in training the ballot counters, said such a tight race makes accurate and transparent tallying critical.
"We expect to have at least 10 or even 15 very close seats among the 106 constituencies", he said.
Hungarian supporters of the opposition parties aren't the only ones that will have their eyes on the April 3 election.
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) has said it will send a full-scale election observation mission to Hungary, including 18 long-term observers and 200 others on election day — only the second time it has done so in a European Union country.
In 2014, the OSCE called Hungary's parliamentary elections "free but not fair," and noted that the 2018 elections were characterized by a "pervasive overlap between state and ruling party resources, undermining contestants' ability to compete on an equal basis."

(11 May 1998) Natural Sound
Hungarian voters have given Prime Minister Gyula Horn's ruling Socialists a nudge towards four more years in power.
Although the final results will not be known for another two weeks, Hungarians have grudgingly supported the Socialists' painful reforms that have restored the economy.
Despite a strong challenge by the center-right Young Democrats-Civic Party in the first round of parliamentary elections, the Socialists, led by Gyula Horn, moved into a good position to retain the leadership in a May 24 runoff.
Austerity measures introduced by Gyula Horn, have turned the Hungarian economy into Eastern Europe's star performer, surpassing the Czech Republic in recent months.
But the improvements have yet to reach ordinary citizens' lives, and enthusiasm was muted for both the Socialists and the elections.
Nationwide turnout on a hot, sunny day was only 55 percent, well below the 69 percent turnout of the previous election.
With nearly 71 percent of the ballots counted, the Socialists led the Young Democrats 32.2 percent to 27.8 percent.
The balance of power won't be known for two more weeks, when runoffs are held in races that either didn't produce majority winners on Sunday, or where turnout was below 50 percent.
Victor Orban, leader of Fidesz liberal Party wasn't prepared to make predictions.
SOUNDBITE: (Hungarian)
"I'm not a mind reader, I'm the head of my party. I'm a parliamentary candidate and we have to wait a few weeks to find the results."
SUPER CAPTION: Victor Orban leader of Fidesz
All 386 seats in Parliament are at stake in the two rounds of voting.
The Socialists, who currently hold a majority 209 seats in Parliament, are expected to carry their lead over the Young Democrats into the runoffs.
As a successor to the Soviet-era communists, the Socialists boast the best grassroots system and the most loyal voters.
The Young Democrats, founded a decade ago as Hungary's first opposition party, remained optimistic heading into the runoff campaign.
Only three other parties were on course to top the 5 percent minimum required to qualify for parliament in party-list balloting: the Independent Smallholders 14.1 percent, Free Democrats 7.8 percent and the right-wing extremist Hungarian Truth and Life Party 5.4 percent.
Those wanting the very latest election results could log onto the internet.
The 65-year-old premier, a longtime diplomat in the Soviet bloc, presides over a party of renamed communists.
His role in a mop-up militia following the Soviets' bloody suppression of a 1956 uprising still bothers some Hungarians.
Public opinion also is sharply divided in a country where as many as 2 million people - a fifth of the population - live at or below the poverty line.
But the economic turnaround has won Horn and his Socialists plaudits from Western officials and economists and general backing at home for his reforms.

STORYLINE:
Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban declared victory in Sunday's national elections, claiming a mandate for a fourth term as a still incomplete vote count showed a strong lead for his right-wing party.
In a 10-minute speech to Fidesz party officials and supporters at an election night event in Budapest, Orban addressed a crowd cheering “Viktor”.
While votes were still being tallied, it appeared clear that the question was not whether Orban’s Fidesz party would take the election, but by how much.
With around 91% of votes tallied, Orban’s Fidesz-led coalition had won 53%, while a pro-European opposition coalition, United for Hungary, had just over 34%, according to the National Election Office.
It appeared possible that Fidesz would win another constitutional majority, allowing it to continue making deep unilateral changes to the Central European nation.
“The whole world has seen tonight in Budapest that Christian democratic politics, conservative civic politics and patriotic politics have won. We are telling Europe that this is not the past, this is the future,” Orban said.
The contest had been expected to be the closest since Orban took power in 2010, thanks to Hungary’s six main opposition parties putting aside their ideological differences to form a united front against Fidesz. Voters were electing lawmakers to the country’s 199-seat parliament.

Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; in full, Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a national-conservative, right-wing populist political party in Hungary. Founded in 1988 as a liberal youth party opposing the ruling communist government, Fidesz has come to dominate Hungarian politics on the national and local level since its landslide victory in the 2010 national elections on a joint list with the Christian Democratic People's Party, securing it a parliamentary supermajority that it retained in 2014 and again in 2018. Fidesz also enjoys majorities in the county legislatures (19 of 19), almost all (20 of 23) urban counties, and in the Budapest city council. Viktor Orbán has been the leader of the party for most of its history.

Fidesz
The Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; in full, Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a major national conservativepolitical party in Hungary. On a joint list with the Christian Democratic People's Party, Fidesz won two historic supermajorities in the National Assembly in both the 2010 and 2014 elections (two by-elections, both in Veszprém county, have since eliminated the supermajority). Fidesz is, by far, the most popular party in Hungary, with majorities in all county legislatures (19 of 19), almost all (20 of 23) urban counties and in the Budapest city council too, based on the 2014 local elections. It has been described as a big tent party. Fidesz is a member of the European People's Party (EPP).
History
The party was founded in 1988, named simply Fidesz (Fiatal Demokraták Szövetsége, meaning the Alliance of Young Democrats), originally as a youthful libertarian, anti-communist party. Fidesz was founded by young democrats, mainly students, who were persecuted by the communist party and had to meet in small, clandestine groups. The movement became a major force in many areas of modern Hungarian history. The membership had an upper age limit of 35 years (this requirement was abolished at the 1993 congress).
