What Happened
Hungary holds its most significant election in two decades Sunday, with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán facing defeat after sixteen years in power. Current polls show the opposition Tisza Party at 50%, ahead of Orbán's Fidesz Party at 37%. Orbán's unpopularity stems from economic stagnation, high living costs, and alleged enrichment of loyalists. An Orbán defeat would impact EU-Ukraine relations and weaken Russia's influence within Europe. Trump administration actively supports Orbán's reelection.
