Opposition Tisza extremely popular among voters below 40 – Fidesz launches attack
“It is disgusting that (people) in the Tisza Party wish for the death of pensioners,” Tamas Menczer, the communications director of the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance, said on Facebook on Saturday.
Menczer quoted György Raskó, a supporter of the opposition party as saying on social media that “Tisza will benefit from the fact that many seniors, to the tune of hundreds of thousands, will no longer be voting at the next election.”
“It is not true that Raskó … would wish for the death of old people,” Tisza leader Peter Magyar told MTI, adding that agricultural economist Rasko had not been nominated by Tisza in last summer’s municipal and EP elections, nor was he a party member.
Recent polls found that the majority of the Hungarian voters below 40 would choose Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party, while the majority of the voters above 65 would support Fidesz on an election. That is a new trend. Opposition parties were regularly more popular in the age group of people below 30, but losing the 31-40 group for Fidesz is something new.
