Gulyás: Orbán is needed to keep the right wing united

Hungarian politician Gergely Gulyás believes that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is essential for keeping the right-wing political movement united. Gulyás suggested that while several politicians in their forties might be future successors to Orbán, the question of leadership succession is not currently pressing.

When asked about potential future leaders, Gulyás mentioned himself as a possible candidate capable of leading the party. This indicates a potential internal discussion about the party's long-term leadership beyond Orbán's tenure.

In a related discussion on European policy, foreign policy expert Zsolt Németh argued that Fidesz needs to adjust its approach to the European Union. Németh stated that cooperation with the EU is vital in several areas, particularly for securing EU funds. He suggested that a more moderate tone might be necessary to achieve these goals.

Ferencz Orsolya, a former commissioner for space research, also highlighted the need for Fidesz to have a strong and effective opposition faction. She distanced herself from the far-right and expressed past criticism of Fidesz's conflict-seeking foreign policy strategy. These comments suggest internal debates within the ruling party regarding its political direction and international relations.
