Fidesz communications director Balazs Hidveghi informed that around 2.3 million Hungarians have answered the national consultation on the Soros plan.
At his press conference on Sunday, the ruling party's communications director thanked all participants who had "taken the time to give an opinion on the Soros plan" and returned the questionnaires or answered questions over the internet. Hidveghi said that the "huge participation beating all records" was indicative of "a cause above political parties" and warned the opposition against "attacking" the survey, which he referred to as a forum "for people to freely express their opinion".
He stressed that "overwhelming forces" were at work to "silence the Hungarian people", and went on to say that it was "obvious" that US billionaire George Soros had "entered the fight". He also accused Soros of interference with Hungary's upcoming election and argued that "Soros's organisations" have opened offices outside Budapest.
