President János Áder has announced that Hungary will hold its 2018 parliamentary election on April 8th.
When Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was re-elected chairman of the ruling Fidesz party at its 27th congress, he said the party is prepared to win the 2018 spring general election to benefit the entire nation.
PM Orbán, head of Fidesz since 2003 and previously led the party between 1993 and 2000, set three main tasks to accomplish: strengthening the achievements of the past seven years, deepening the ideological and spiritual foundations of the party, and defending Hungary’s future.
“Hungary will defend its borders, prevent the implementation of the ‘Soros plan’ and finally win the battle,” the prime minister said.
