The general director of the research agency Medián, Endre Hann, said in the Klubrádió radio station that voters had a much more urgent feeling in the field of corruption perception this year than it was before. “Corruption was not a central topic of elections before,” Hann pointed out.
It was the issue of corruption that was of fundamental importance in this year’s voter decision-making. “Punishment of the culprits also became a clear expectation,” the website index.hu quoted from the mentioned interview. However, according to Hanna, people are a little skeptical about whether the culprits will actually be punished.
According to the mentioned survey, the question of inferring responsibility for corruption was in the first place when the voters decided this year (49%). Only then were questions of livelihood followed (19%). In addition, voters resented the hypocrisy, condescending style and arrogance of Orbán’s government. Every tenth respondent stated that after sixteen years of Orbán’s rule, he had simply had enough and voted for Magyar’s Tisza party.
