Viktor Orbán faces election challenge

Viktor Orbán faces election challenge

The election has become a focal point for international observers, with the outcome poised to alter Europe's political landscape.

Tens of thousands of anti-Orbán protesters gathered in Budapest for a massive pre-election concert, chanting slogans for democratic change.

Magyar, a former Orbán loyalist, has successfully mobilized a broad coalition by focusing on pocketbook issues and government accountability.

A defeat for Orbán would deprive nationalist conservatives worldwide of one of their most prominent champions and potentially shift Hungary's stance on the war in Ukraine.
