Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar delivered a state of the nation speech in Budapest on Sunday (15 February), saying the parliamentary elections in April were an opportunity for his country to take a new direction.
Magyar said that his center-right opposition party had everything needed for victory against Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party.
"The reason why they are trying to attack us, to discredit us is that they know that we have everything for the victory. We have the majority, that is the main thing, we have the credible candidates, we have our programme, we have our experts," he said.
"With one word, we are ready. My dear friends, Tisza is ready for governing." Magyar told the crowd.
Idea Institute also said in a post on its official Facebook page that the number of undecided voters had dropped by 3% points to 24% in a month.
Magyar warned that the ruling party would launch attacks against his movement in the coming weeks.
"In the next eight weeks, the power that is trembling to keep its power, the mafia state, will pour the most disgusting things on the Hungarian society." he said.
At a press conference following his speech, Magyar outlined his party's stance on European Union issues, saying Hungary should focus on bringing home blocked EU funds.
"We think that Europe should also concentrate on itself and it is not good for Europe to push itself into newer and newer debts. This is our stance. For us, the priority is to bring home the EU funds. And it is very important that we should be able to amend the next seven years' financial framework plan published by the European Committee and will soon be discussed by the European Council. I had discussed this yesterday with leaders of various institutions," he said.
"In its present form it is not acceptable for Hungary, partly because of the change of agriculture funds, the re-grouping of agricultural development funds. For us that is important." he added.
The centre-right party presents the biggest challenge to nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban's rule since his Fidesz party swept to victory in 2010 although the outcome of the 12 April parliamentary election remains highly uncertain.
