Opposition party Momentum submitted a referendum initiative of 3+1 points to the National Election Commission on Tuesday afternoon. The initiative includes a total of four questions on stadiums, media propaganda, the Chief Prosecutor and secret-police files.
As Momentum leader András Fekete-Győr explained on his Facebook page, prior to the elections, the National Election Commission was supplemented by delegates from the opposition parties able to collect the 20,000 signatures required to register their candidate lists for the European Parliament election. Momentum used Fidesz’s reduced majority in the Commission to its advantage and initiated a four-point (3+1) referendum:
Fekete-Győr insists the questions submitted to a referendum center “on topics that could undermine the pillars of Orbán’s system.” The opposition party hopes that “as the Election Commission works with more delegates during the [European Parliamentary] election, it will investigate the issues fully.”
