Gulyas: Opposition victory would lead to early elections

Hungary's opposition parties themselves are unsure that they would be capable of governing the country together, so their victory in April would lead to early elections within a matter of months, ruling Fidesz's parliamentary group leader said on Thursday. At stake in the April 8 election is whether Hungary's stability can be preserved through the re-election of the Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance or whether "stability will be replaced by chaos" with the election of a new government, Gergely Gulyas told an event organised by the Nezopont Institute. Hungarian government stability over the past eight years have given the country a "scientifically and economically demonstrable" competitive advantage, Gulyas said. But this would not be the case if the opposition came to power, he said, arguing that not even those parties themselves were claiming that they would be capable of governing the country together.
