Hungary prepares for pivotal vote

The election is being closely watched across Europe and in Washington, as Orbán has been a key ally of both President Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Over 100,000 people gathered in Budapest on Friday for a massive anti-government concert, signaling a surge in momentum for the opposition.

Magyar’s Tisza party has accused the government of using AI-generated disinformation to target its candidates in the final days of the campaign.

The outcome will determine whether Hungary continues its path of 'illiberal democracy' or shifts back toward a more pro-EU and pro-NATO stance.
