Jobbik campaign to focus on livelihoods, order and accountability, says leader
BY MTI
Radical nationalist party Jobbik is preparing a campaign focusing on its programme for governance, Gabor Vona, the party’s leader, told a news conference on Monday.
Vona also said he would challenge Prime Minister Vikor Orban and Socialist leader Attila Mesterhazy to a television debate.
He noted that polling surveys indicated that there is a
large number of uncertain potential voters.
It would help such people to make a decision were there to be a three-way debate. A rejection of the initiative by Orban and Mesterhazy would send a message to voters. He added, however, that he trusted such a debate would go ahead.
Vona said that Jobbik would unveil its election programme at an event in the countryside on Feb. 15. He said the three main goals of the programme would focus of people’s
livelihoods, order and accountability.
Asked by a journalist about Hungary’s
deal with Russia on the country’s sole nuclear power station, Vona said that he had met Hungarian representatives of Rosatom, the Russian energy giant involved in the agreement, and he was convinced that the Russian offer, given the proportion of Hungarian suppliers, would be the best one.
