Historian Olivér Hortay confirmed to Telex that he has accepted an offer to join the Fidesz parliamentary group. He will be joined by André Palóc, a former spokesperson for the Ministry of National Economy. This move represents a bolstering of the Fidesz ranks with individuals from outside traditional political circles. Hortay is a researcher specializing in centuries-old history. Palóc’s prior role involved communications for economic policy. The reasons behind their decision to align with Fidesz were not detailed in the report. This development adds further complexity to the current political landscape in Hungary.
