Jobbik seeks recount of votes in some districts

Radical nationalist Jobbik will request recount of the votes in the recent national election in constituencies where a violation of the rules is suspected, Jobbik spokesman Peter Jakab said on Tuesday. Jakab said "public opinion" suggested that ruling Fidesz has faked the results and added that the choice for candidates of the governing parties was "whether to go to parliament or to prison". He insisted that apart from using "all base means" such as "transporting voters, distributing food, threatening officials or ensuring fast crossing at the border for Hungarian citizens from Ukraine" Fidesz also "received some extra assistance" from the National Election Office (NVI).
