“It was great to work for my voters, for the people of Debrecen, and I will never give up this job. After 1994, 2002 and 2006, this is the fourth defeat in parliamentary elections that Fidesz and I have experienced; each time we have been uplifted – this is what democracy is all about. Sometimes we win, sometimes we gain experience. Forward, Hungary! Forward, Debrecen!” – summed up Kosa.
Kosa is not the only Fidesz member who resigned. The outgoing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced on Saturday that he would not take a seat in the new parliament and would focus on reorganizing his political camp. He has been a member of the Hungarian parliament since the country's first free elections in 1990.
Elections in Hungary. Viktor Orban failed
Fidesz-KDNP coalition, headed by Orban, she lost the parliamentary elections on April 12 with the opposition TISZA grouping, which obtained a constitutional majority there. The resigning head of the Hungarian government is the longest-serving politician in the history of Hungary. Orban held this position continuously for 16 years.
Orban announced “reorganization” of Fidesz's structures immediately after losing the elections. — We will reorganize in the coming weeks. We will visit all constituencies, summon our volunteers and activists, our MPs and candidates. A meeting of the national council will be held on April 28. We started work today, he said.
