The leader of the winning party in Hungary's parliamentary elections, "Tisza" Péter Magyar, is demanding a re-election in the single-mandate constituency where, in his opinion, the political force lost solely due to a dummy candidate named Péter Magyar. This is reported by 444, writes UNN.
Details
Magyar called for a re-election in the 2nd district in Vas County near the Austrian border, where the candidate of Orbán's Fidesz party won, ahead of the Tisza candidate by 258 votes.
In his opinion, Tisza candidate Viktória Strompová did not win solely because there was a formally independent candidate named Péter Magyar, linked to Fidesz, on the lists.
More than 900 votes were cast for the "fake Magyar," and the politician is convinced that in most cases, these were Tisza supporters who were deceived by his name.
Magyar, the leader of Tisza, called this "Russian methods in their most cynical form" and demands a repeat vote in the district.
Regarding the dummy Magyar, it is noted that he was practically not public, does not live in the city of Sárvár (the center of the district), and works in Austria. Before he "cleaned up" his social networks, he could be seen in joint photos with leading members of the Fidesz party, including Orbán. He was also seen at a pro-government demonstration on March 15, although at that time he was already an "independent candidate."
