Viktor Orbán calls for Fidesz reorganization after election defeat

Viktor Orbán Fidesz Tisza Party Hungarian politics National Asset Recovery and Protection Agency

Following the Fidesz party's election defeat, former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held a closed-door gathering in Kötcse to outline a strategy for political resurgence. Orbán emphasized that Fidesz must reorganize the right wing to become a governing force again and urged his parliamentary group to adopt a more combative stance against the current Tisza-led government.

Orbán characterized the current administration as a ‘neo-communist digital Soviet republic’ and accused the Tisza Party of serving Brussels' interests rather than Hungary's. He further claimed that the country is undergoing a period of ‘re-colonization,’ where strategic assets and the economy are being handed over to foreign interests.

During his remarks, Orbán also drew criticism for his comments regarding the National Asset Recovery and Protection Agency, which he compared to the ÁVH. Prime Minister Péter Magyar responded by accusing Orbán of threatening the agency's officials. Additionally, Minister Dávid Vitézy defended his administration's procurement decisions, rejecting Orbán's characterization of him as a representative of German interests and arguing that preventing the overpricing of infrastructure projects is in the national interest.
