The outcome of next year’s European Parliamentary elections will determine “whether we can build a free, liveable and predictable Hungary in a safe Europe”, the group leader of conservative Jobbik told a press conference. Márton Gyöngyösi said that his party offers predictable policies as against the prime minister’s “policy of isolation” and insisted that “Viktor Orbán wants to drive Hungary out of the European Union”.  On behalf of his party, Gyöngyösi pledged “protection against illegal migration”, efforts aimed at allowing Hungarians to prosper in their homeland rather than seek jobs abroad, as well as support to ethnic Hungarian communities in their fight for autonomy.

Jobbik will name its candidates for the EP elections late in January or early February, he said.
