Orban faces survival test in Hungary

The upcoming legislative election is being viewed as a referendum on Orbán's 'illiberal democracy' and his controversial pro-Russia foreign policy.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar has successfully mobilized voters by promising to tackle corruption and mend relations with the European Union.

The campaign has been further complicated by high-profile endorsements from American figures, including Donald Trump, who has urged Hungarians to support the incumbent.

With the nation deeply divided, the outcome will have profound implications for the future of the EU and the global conservative movement.
