Fidesz

Hungary's ruling Fidesz party, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has indefinitely postponed the ratification of Sweden's NATO membership. This move unfolded during an emergency plenary session, specially convened at the opposition's request to address this crucial matter.

The delegation's findings are unlikely to speed up Hungary's access to the frozen EU funds, with Freund tweeting: "Question: When will Hungary get full access to EU funding again?

In the past, Anna and Karoly say, the town was full of theatre and music festivals, among other cultural activities. Now, a new football stadium has become a substitute for cultural life. They are vocal about the lack of job opportunities and polluted air, which carries a pervasive stench of apathy and hopelessness.

Victor Orban's party Fidesz is kicked out from the European People's Party (EPP), the centre-right political bloc in the European Parliament, today.

Yet even such popularity couldn't save him.

Ten of Hungary's 23 major cities also fell to opposition parties in local elections billed as a trial run for taking on Orban as a united front in parliamentary elections in 2022.

Hungary on Monday nominated Oliver Varhelyi, its ambassador to the EU, as its new candidate for a European Commissioner's post, after European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen accepted a decision by the European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs to block Budapest's previous proposal, Laszlo Trocsanyi.

Then there was the suspension of Hungary's governing party, Fidesz, from the European People's Party due to the party's overt shift toward authoritarianism in the past years and straightforward attacks on European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Prime Minister Boyko Borissov congratulated his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban on the victory of his party, FIDESZ in the parliamentary elections yesterday, the press service of the Council of Ministers announced yesterday.

Ruling center-right party Fidesz is set to win Hungary's parliamentary elections, with 48% of the vote according to exit polls.

Center-left opposition is reported to have received 27% support, as Der Spiegel has informed. Jobbik, the far-right party which some forecasts placed second, got 18%.

Official results were expected "Sunday night".
