The centre-right Fidesz party led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban has taken most town halls in Hungarian local elections held on Sunday, including the capital Budapest, results showed. 'This victory is a yes to a new era, it will end a change that began in 1990 when we decided how we do not want to live,' said Orban. 'Today we decided how we want to live, following the path taken in April.' After eight years in power, the Socialists lost the parliamentary elections in April. With 75.5 percent of ballots counted, Fidesz and its Christian Democrats ally (KDNP), who won over two-thirds of parliamentary seats in April's general elections, have held broadly onto that level of support across the country. Fidesz also captured the mayor's office in Budapest for the first time in 20 years. 'Budapest has once again become the nation's capital, and with it Hungary has really become united,' added Orban. The Socialists witnessed their worst defeat in the party's history, while new parties such as the extreme-right Jobbik and the leftist green LMP party won some of their first council seats. Although they managed to keep Szeged, a regional capital in the southeast, they lost their long-time stronghold Miskolc in the northeast. Jobbik, famous for speaking out against Hungary's biggest minority the Roma, has won Tiszavasvari, an eastern Hungarian town. They also hold three seats in the European Parliament and 47 in the Hungarian parliament. During their election campaign on national radio and television they broadcast adverts promising to end 'gypsy crimes' and 'political crimes' committed by corrupt politicians. 'Tiszavasvari will be Jobbik's capital, where we will show what it is like when Jobbik governs,' said Gabor Vona, president of Jobbik. Some 3,200 municipal positions were up for grabs in the election, in which some 46 percent of registered voters cast ballots, down from 53.1 percent in the 2006 municipal elections.
