Students give Jobbik high marks

Posted on 18 July 2013

Jobbik is the most popular party among higher-education students with 17 per cent in favour of the extreme-right formation, according to a survey recently released by Active Young People Research Group (Aktiv Fiatalok).

Governing party Fidesz and its coalition partner KDNP (Christian Democrats) garnered 15 per cent approval, followed by Együtt2014-PM (a socialist-alternative coalition) with 13.7 per cent, 7.7 per cent for green-alternative LMP, three per cent for socialist MSZP and one per cent for socialist breakaway party DK.

Forty per cent could not or did not want to say who they support.

The research showed a split between students in Budapest and in provincial institutions, the former placing Együtt2014-PM ahead followed by Fidesz, and the latter preferring Jobbik, with Fidesz again in second place.

Some 23 per cent thought dictatorship could under certain conditions prove better than democracy. Six per cent said Hungary’s current situation is so bad that only dictatorship would be the solution.

Forty-four per cent said they were planning to study abroad, particularly among Budapest students (57 per cent). Almost 20 per cent were decided to move abroad to work and another 48 per cent were considering doing so. Fewer than 10 per cent rejected the idea of moving abroad for work.
