Joint opposition to make voting easier for Hungarians living in West Europe, USA

The united opposition has pledged to base its policies concerning Hungarians communities beyond the borders on a consensus of all political parties and civil organisations within and outside Hungary.

LMP parliamentary group leader László Lóránt Keresztes noted that his party had backed the Szekler National Council’s initiative for national minorities.

Speaking at an online press conference held jointly by LMP and Jobbik members on Wednesday, Lóránt Keresztes said the opposition aimed to help all Hungarians preserve their identities, Keresztes said. Equal opportunities in culture and education are important in achieving that goal, he said.

The opposition would also regard organisations beyond the borders as partners and involve them in applications for tenders,

he said.

Attila Fazakas, Jobbik’s member in the Hungarian Standing Conference (MÁÉRT), called for a fair funding policy and maintaining previous achievements such as dual citizenship and voting rights for Hungarians beyond the borders in Hungarian elections.
