Viktor Orbán: "A political vendetta is underway, and I am the target"
Published
Viktor Orbán, chairman of Fidesz, visited Lakitelek on Sunday, where he attended the first national camp of the Digital Civic Circles (DPK). The event is special in the life of the organisation, because members of the movement from across the country met in large numbers for the first time here.
During the event, Viktor Orbán made a statement that immediately drew attention. In his view, a political vendetta is underway, and he himself is the target of the attacks. In his speech he did not explain in detail whom he had in mind, but his statement clearly shows that, in the view of the Fidesz leader, the party is currently going through a difficult period.
Lakitelek is also an important place in Hungarian political history. The Hungarian Democratic Forum was founded here in 1987, and it later became one of the defining players of the regime change. For this reason the town carries symbolic significance for many, and the current camp also fits into this tradition.
The Digital Civic Circles are one of the organisations close to Fidesz, bringing together the party's supporters and activists. The national camp shows that the organisation would like to strengthen its connection with its members in the future. Sources do not yet provide precise information about the detailed programme and further developments, so it is worth following further news.
