The ruling Fidesz and Christian Democrat parties have voted unanimous support for the "Stop Soros" bill, Fidesz group leader Gergely Gulyas said after a joint recess of the two parties' parliamentary groups in Visegrad in northern Hungary, MTI reported.

Gergely Gulyas said they do not command the votes to pass parts of the package requiring a two-third majority. These are the passages affecting the law on national security, he said. "International attacks" are also mounting against the legislation, he said, with the leftist opposition being mostly "pro-migration" and Jobbik "has flip-flopped" over the issue. The ruling parties therefore "turn to the electorate", and the parliament is to decide on the proposal after the election, he said.
