In the next parliamentary elections in 2022, the Hungarian opposition wants to stand against Prime Minister Viktor Orban's right-wing national party Fidesz.
The six main opposition parties agreed on Sunday evening to run on a common list in just under a year and a half.
In the previous months, the parties had already agreed to run with a common top candidate and with common candidates in the individual constituencies.
A preselection should decide on the person of the top candidate.
With the agreement on Sunday, the opposition can optimize its chances of overthrowing Orban in the next election.
This is also indicated by the latest opinion polls.
The Median Institute found in the middle of last week that the opposition alliance among voters with a certain preference would get 41 percent and Fidesz 39 percent of the vote if there were elections now.

The opposition electoral alliance includes the left-liberal Democratic Coalition (DK), the Social Democratic Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP), the liberal Momentum party, the right-wing Jobbik (The Better) party, the eco-political party Politics can be different (LMP) and the left-green party Dialog.
In their agreement on Sunday, the parties underlined: “The aim of the alliance is to create an independent, livable and proud Hungary.” By turning away from the Orban system, which has been criticized as authoritarian and corrupt, the promises of the democratic turnaround 30 years ago should ultimately be redeemed become: "Freedom and Prosperity".
