From The European Conservative
By the Editorial Staff
At the Bálna events centre the crowd that gathered to celebrate a victory–however slim–seemed dejected to learn that not only has Fidesz not won, but Tisza will most likely obtain a two-thirds majority in the national assembly. Some were clearly in tears, but most shellshocked.
Viktor Orbán, however, was received with thunderous ovation, cheers and clapping, and rythmic chanting of “Viktor” when he arrived. The prime minister spoke with calm and dignity, conceding the election and announcing he has congratulated the winner. He reassured those present that Fidesz will never let the 2.5 million people who voted for it down, and thanking in particular the ethnic Hungarian voters living in the neighbouring countries for their massive, over 90% support.
Orbán said Fidesz now needs to further strengthen its tight community, and recalled that it has survived hard times before, and will do so now too.
