Outgoing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said he will not take his seat in the new parliament after his election defeat, announcing he will focus on reorganizing the country's "patriotic movement." In a video statement on Saturday, Orban said the parliamentary mandate he won as the head of the Fidesz-KDNP list "is in fact Fidesz's parliamentary mandate" and that he has therefore decided to "return it." "I don't need parliament now, but the reorganization of the patriotic movement," he said. The move comes less than two weeks after Orban's long-dominant Fidesz party was crushed by Peter Magyar's Tisza party, which won 141 of 199 seats in Hungary's parliamentary elections on April 12. Orban said the Fidesz parliamentary group will be "radically transformed" and that Gergely Gulyas will lead the new group when it is formed on Monday. He also said the party will hold a national assembly next week and hold its "renewal congress" in June. Despite leaving parliament, Orban made clear he intends to remain at the helm of the party, saying the leadership proposed that he continue as president of Fidesz and that he is ready to do so if the congress renews its confidence in him. Orban struck a defiant rather than a retreating tone, telling supporters that "this camp remains the most united and cohesive political community in Hungary." The election defeat marked the biggest setback of Orban's career and is expected to reshape Hungary's relations with the EU and the US, as well as with Russia and Ukraine.
