Magyar: This has become, and will be a celebration of democracy

“We’ve seen the latest polls, and based on the turnout figures and the data we’re receiving, we’re optimistic,” Péter Magyar said at the Tisza Party’s election headquarters. In his view, the high turnout is an indication of several things, including the fact that most Hungarians understand just how important this election is.

“This has become, and will be, a celebration of democracy,” said Magyar.

The chairman of the Tisza Party asked his supporters and all Hungarians to remain cheerful and calm. “We have seen and heard the indications of what the ruling party is planning, and what kinds of provocations they might resort to. Signs of madness are beginning to take hold of them, and they have been hallucinating about the occupation of public buildings. Anyone who can count to two knows that a party expected to win a landslide victory under an unfair electoral system has absolutely no interest in carrying out any acts of violence,” Magyar said.
