United opposition launches Hungarian-language billboard campaign in London

The parties of the united opposition and their candidate for prime minister, Péter Márki-Zay, have launched a Hungarian-language billboard campaign in London, the party alliance told MTI on Sunday.

The billboards, with the Hungarian message “To those who understand these words: Your country is counting on you!”, will be visible at King’s Cross station and in Borough High Street during the last two weeks of the campaign, the united opposition said.

The goal is to make Hungarians living abroad aware that their participation, too, is expected in the general elections on April 3, they added.

The united opposition said the votes of the several hundred thousand Hungarians living abroad could be a “decisive factor” in the election and called out the governing party for “intentionally trying to restrict the circumstances” of those Hungarians, with the consequence that they must “often travel for several hours and wait in line to vote”.
