Hungary PM Orban wins third term in office

2014-04-07 9

Hungarians have re-elected their Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, for another four years and the far-right Jobbik party has increased its share of the vote. An official projection gave Orban's Fidesz party 133 of the 199 seats in parliament after 96 percent of the ballots were counted from Sunday's election, guaranteeing that it will form the next government. Orban has pledged more of the same and the business community expects him to press ahead with a plan to transfer big chunks of the banking sector into Hungarian hands and to impose more burdens on foreign firms.
