Prime Minister Magyar Péter continues his regional tour with a rally in Szolnok

Prime Minister Magyar Péter will hold a public meeting at Kossuth Square in Szolnok, urging large turnout as part of his ongoing countryside tour.

Prime Minister Magyar Péter is set to address a crowd at Kossuth Square in Szolnok, calling on as many people as possible to join the event. In a recent Facebook post, he emphasized personal interaction with the public as a key element of his nationwide tour, rejecting the notion that it is simply a political campaign. The tour started in Veszprém, where he spoke about the value of direct meetings with citizens.

It then moved to Pécs, where topics such as municipal affairs, rural development, and highway concessions were discussed. The Szolnok stop will feature a four-hour session on the Saturday afternoon, continuing the itinerary that will conclude in Budapest after covering fifteen towns.

Why it matters

The rally shows the prime minister’s effort to connect directly with voters across the country ahead of upcoming elections.
