Post by EPP Group in the European Parliament

"A major victory for the people of Hungary – and a strong signal for Europe!   This result reflects the clear democratic choice of Hungarian voters.   Congratulations to Tisza and to our EPP MEP Peter Magyar on this decisive win.   I am proud of what Peter Magyar and Tisza as members of our EPP family have achieved in these elections - winning the trust of the majority of Hungarians.   This election confirms a simple truth: we win with substance, not slogans. When we focus on improving people’s lives – higher wages, secure jobs, and real economic opportunities – while grounding our approach in European solidarity and cooperation, we build trust and deliver results.   This is how we defeat right-wing populists who thrive on division: with credible solutions, unity, and a politics that puts citizens first.   Now is the moment to welcome Hungary back to the heart of Europe. We must work together on the key challenges ahead: security, migration, and prosperity for all.   The message is clear: center-right politics that deliver on people’s needs win elections – and that is how we overcome populism,” says EPP Group Chairman Manfred Weber.
