"Several tens of thousands of fake profiles are holding their breath waiting for the Tisza Party to select and present their candidates. But they failed to do it even at today's congress. Surely a great failure," Máté Kocsis, the group leader of the ruling Fidesz, said on Saturday.
Kocsis said on Facebook that party leader Péter Magyar had stated in January that they would force the country to hold early elections in April. "It was obviously silly at that time already ... but how could they plan such a thing when they do not even have candidates in June," he added.
