Hungary's High-Stakes Election: Can Orbán's 16-Year Rule End?

Hungarians head to the polls on Sunday, with the future of populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán - a Trump and Putin ally - hanging in the balance. This pivotal election could reshape Europe.
Hungary is set to hold a crucial election on Sunday, with the future of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán - Europe's longest-serving leader - hanging in the balance. Orbán, a populist who has forged close ties with former US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, has dominated Hungarian politics for the past 16 years.
However, his grip on power now faces a significant challenge from a united opposition coalition that is hoping to end Orbán's reign and steer the country in a new direction. The election is seen as a pivotal moment not just for Hungary, but for the broader geopolitical landscape in Europe.
