The radical nationalist Jobbik party is planning to stage mass demonstrations in the autumn to protest against the land law and demand resolution to the problem of troubled FX borrowers, party leader Gabor Vona said in an interview published by daily Magyar Hirlap on Tuesday.
Jobbik will also initiate a referendum concerning the land law, the paper quoted Vona as saying.
Vona said Jobbik has no direct plans to repeat a June event when the party’s MPs occupied the parliamentary speaker’s box in protest against the land law but will resort to such methods “when necessary”.
Jobbik will complete the process of appointing candidates for next year’s parliamentary election at its next board meeting. Initially the party’s local organisations pick the candidates and the board will need to decide about them, Vona said. Around two-thirds of the 106 individual candidates have been selected so far and the rest will be picked in the next two weeks, he added.
Vona said he expected four Jobbik candidates to win seats in the next European Parliamentary election instead of the current three.
