In an interview with Magyar Nemzet, Jorge Buxadé, MEP of the European Parliament’s European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group and the EP’s election observation mission, said that from what they could see everything in the Hungarian elections went according to the rules.
“We visited more than 12 polling stations in the capital and in the municipalities around Budapest, where we found an electoral system that most fully respects the rule of law and the rules of free and secret elections,” the Spanish MEP said, adding that he believes that the Hungarian election system is “very transparent.” Speaking about his previous trip to Hungary, Buxadé said that when he came with the EP’s LIBE committee, he experienced that the members of the delegation would arrive in Hungary with already drafted reports.
