Eight party alliances qualify for European Parliament elections

Eight parties and alliances filed a sufficient number of nominations to the National Election Commission by Friday’s deadline to qualify for the European parliamentary elections.

They are Fidesz and the Christian Democrats, the Socialists, the Free Democrats, the Democratic Forum, Jobbik, the Communist Workers’ Party, the Roma Unity Party, as well as environmental party Politics Can Be Different together with the Humanist Party.

Előd Novák, the far-right Jobbik party’s delegate to the election commission, announced that he will challenge the registry of the Free Democrats at the Supreme Court as one of the documents submitted by them did not have a date. He will also file a complaint with police, claiming that the Roma Unity Party had submitted “hundreds” of forged signatures.
