János Lázár, the minister of construction and transport, said Hungary's next 40 years, the future of the nation and of the homeland, will be at stake at next year's election.

Speaking in Budapest on Sunday, at an event dubbed 'Fighters Club', Lázár said the election would not be "about sentiments, but about gas bills, thirteenth month pension, tax exemption for mothers, subsidies for farmers and keeping migrants out of the country."

Referring to ruling Fidesz's earlier slogan "Listen to your heart, vote Fidesz", Lázár told participants "Listen to your brain, vote Fidesz!".
