Máté Kocsis, Fidesz parliamentary group leader, said the Democratic Coalition (DK) and Tisza Party are being forced to collude under orders from Brussels, which wants to topple the government.
DK and Tisza have at times openly cooperated on key issues, and this is clear from how they vote in the European Parliament, Kocsis said in a Facebook post, listing "migration, gender ideology and the war" as issues on which they saw eye to eye. They also worked together on the Budapest budget, he added.
"Why would [parliament] after 2026 be the exception?"
Kocsis wrote that DK leader Ferenc Gyurcsany and Tisza head Peter Magyar hardly got along on a personal level, "but clearly this isn't a personal matter".
He said they had "no other option" but to collude. "How often have we heard" opposition figures saying they would "never collude with Gyurcsany?" He said politicians on the opposition side always ended up doing so.
Kocsis said Magyar and Gyurcsany would inevitably "hold their noses" and "work together".
