Hungarians Face Pivotal Election: Will they End Orbán's Reign?
Hungarians head to the polls to decide whether to keep Viktor Orbán as PM or elect Péter Magyar, who leads a grassroots party. The outcome could end Orbán's 16-year rule.
As Hungarians prepare to head to the polls, the stakes have never been higher. After 16 years of Viktor Orbán's leadership, the country faces a pivotal decision that could drastically reshape its political landscape. Orbán, the long-reigning prime minister, finds himself in a defiant mood, while Péter Magyar, the candidate fronting a grassroots party, holds a narrow lead in most polls.
The election is a testament to the deep divisions within Hungarian society, with voters grappling with issues ranging from the economy and social welfare to the country's relationship with the European Union. Orbán, known for his controversial policies and authoritarian tendencies, has been a polarizing figure both at home and abroad.
