After the announcement of the voting results, Orban thanked for the trust.
Orbán told party delegates gathered in Budapest that he would “never” give up and that while Fidesz was not a successful party at the moment, it needed to recover and renew itself in the coming months.
At the beginning of the congress, Orbán made a speech in which he stated that the strategic responsibility for the defeat in the elections rests with him.
He added that he wants to hand over Fidesz to the younger generation as a party that has a real chance of winning.
“I will not sell out, and you will not buy me like a cat in a bag. You know that I have no desire to change. I will not go for half-measures or make complete U-turns, and I will not participate in measures related to the transition from one party to another,” he said.
