Viktor Orban Re-elected as Fidesz Party Leader After Election Loss
歐班在選舉失利後獲再選為青民黨黨魁
Introduction
Viktor Orban has been appointed as the leader of the Fidesz party for another year following the party's defeat in the April parliamentary elections.
在四月議會選舉失利後,維克多·歐班被任命為青民黨黨魁,任期再延一年。
Main Body
Mr. Orban's leadership was confirmed during a party meeting where 729 out of 737 delegates voted for him. This decision comes after some former allies suggested that he should retire from politics. Mr. Orban admitted that the party made strategic mistakes, such as underestimating how many people would vote and failing to understand how digital algorithms influenced young voters. Consequently, he has proposed a reorganization of Fidesz to turn it from a governing party into a 'movement party' with better local organization.
歐班的領導地位在一場黨內會議中獲得確認,當時 737 名代表中有 729 名投票支持他。在此決定之前,部分前盟友建議他應從政壇退休。歐班承認黨內犯了戰略錯誤,例如低估了投票人數,且未能理解數位演算法如何影響年輕選民。因此,他建議將青民黨重新組織,從一個執政黨轉變為一個具有更佳地方組織的「運動黨」。
Meanwhile, the political situation in Hungary has changed significantly. The Tisza party, led by Prime Minister Peter Magyar, won a two-thirds majority in parliament. This allows the new government to cancel constitutional changes made by the previous administration, which had limited the independence of courts, universities, and the media. Furthermore, the new government has improved relations with the European Union by removing its veto on Ukraine's EU membership process. As a result, the EU has released 16.4 billion euros in frozen funds. Recent data from the Publicus Institute shows that support for Tisza has risen to 55 percent, while support for Fidesz has fallen to 17 percent.
同時,匈牙利的政治局勢發生了顯著變化。由總理彼得·馬加雅爾領導的 Tisza 黨在議會中贏得了三分之二的多數席位。這使得新政府能夠撤銷前任政府所做的憲法修改,而之前的修改限制了法院、大學和媒體的獨立性。此外,新政府透過取消對烏克蘭加入歐盟進程的否決權,改善了與歐盟的關係。結果,歐盟釋放了 164 億歐元被凍結的資金。根據 Publicus 研究所的最新數據,Tisza 黨的支持率已上升至 55%,而青民黨的支持率則下降至 17%。
Conclusion
Viktor Orban continues to lead Fidesz as the party tries to reorganize itself while opposing the government led by the Tisza party.
歐班將繼續領導青民黨,在反對 Tisza 黨政府的同時,嘗試進行黨內重組。
