Orban faces election challenge

Viktor Orban's long-standing grip on power in Hungary is being tested by a former insider turned rival, Peter Magyar.

The election campaign has been characterized by intense disinformation efforts, including AI-generated videos targeting the opposition.

Magyar has successfully tapped into voter anger over high inflation and Orban's close ties to Russia during the Ukraine conflict.

The outcome of the vote is being closely monitored by international leaders in Washington and Brussels, as it could fundamentally shift Hungary's role within NATO and the European Union.
