What the leader of the far-right party in Hungary asks Peter Magyar: To call the Romanian prime minister, to go to Oradea
The leader of the Hungarian Movement Our Fatherland (extreme right), Laszlo Toroczkai, on Wednesday urged Peter Magyar, the leader of the Tisza party, which won Sunday's legislative elections, to call the Romanian Prime Minister to stop the eviction of Abbot Rudolf Anzelm Fejes of the Premonstratensian Order from Oradea, reports the Hungarian press agency MTI.
In statements made to the public news channel M1, Laszlo Toroczkai mentioned the eviction of Abbot Rudolf Anzelm Fejes from Oradea as a “pan-Hungarian issue” in which he hopes to obtain support from both Fidesz and Tisza, despite “past disappointments”, reports Agerpres citing MTI.
He also said that he hopes that Peter Magyar will visit Oradea after the campaign period and support the Premonstratensian Order and the local Catholic Church.
- Laszlo Toroczkai refers to the decision to evict Abbot Rudolf Anzelm Fejes, of the Premonstratensian Order, from the premises occupied in the Mihai Eminescu National College building in Oradea.
- The eviction was decided in court, the Municipality winning the case through a civil sentence, later the forced execution was approved.
- According to Mayor Florin Birta, Oradea City Hall resorted to the last solution of evacuating the premises that it could not obtain in other ways, because the College building is to enter rehabilitation through an investment of about 100 million lei, co-financed from European funds.
- The local newspaper eBihoreanul wrote in detail how the abbot's eviction procedure went, held on Tuesday.
In the same context, Laszlo Toroczkai assured that his party is open to cooperation with both Tisza and Fidesz on specific issues, however, appreciating that the current electoral system gives the winner excessive power, in a “completely disproportionate” way.
He claimed that his party proposed a fairer system two years ago, and “if Fidesz had supported it then, Tisza would not have had a two-thirds majority today.”
A new electoral reform proposal will be tabled this term to ensure a “more democratic parliament”, he noted, although he expressed pessimism about his chances.
Toroczkai wants to contest the election result
On the other hand, Toroczkai announced, after talks with President Tamas Sulyok, that his party will challenge the results of Sunday's general election after they are officially announced, for now filing a complaint with the National Electoral Committee.
Patria Noastra obtained six parliamentary mandates, with 5.74% of the votes, according to the current state of vote counting.
“Of course, we don't question the fact that Tisza won this election or that Peter Magyar will be the next prime minister,” he noted, adding that the proceedings target Meta, who he said obstructed his party's Facebook campaign.
