Polls close in high-stakes Hungarian election as Magyar seeks to oust Orbán

A Tisza victory could lead to an overhaul in relations between Budapest and Brussels.

^{Sion Pennar (Telewizja Polska S.A)}

All eyes on Hungary today. It would be great to see an end to Orbán, a right-wing authoritarian populist who has really been difficult for the EU (and Ukraine). A victory for Magyar won't automatically mean a reset to pluralism & democracy given how deeply Orban has changed institutions. But it will still send a strong signal to his authoritarian friends around the world. #Hungary #EU #Orban #Magyar #Ukraine

As record numbers of Hungarians head to the polls, the EU is preparing for two scenarios: continued obstruction under Orbán or a victory for Magyar that could reset relations, though Brussels remains cautious about both.

Tearing down posters of #Zelensky...

Yes! Do it!

Wait, what am I saying?

See these posters are #Kremlin disinfo in #Budapest, #Hungary, lies about #Ukraine. And crowds are doing it is a statement of disgust with #Orban and #Putin, shouting "Ruszkik Haza" ("Russians go home")

"Sunday’s vote may well be one of the most important elections in the history of postcommunist Europe. It will test the longevity of a regime that has deviated from principles of democracy and the rule of law that were vindicated by the peaceful revolutions of 1989 and later secured by the European Union, which incorporated Hungary as part of its eastward expansion in 2004."

Viktor Orbán Could Actually Lose Sunday’s Hungarian Election

The Hungarian leader faces an energized opposition—and questions about whether he would accept defeat.

" #Trump sweetens pro- #Orban endorsement with promises of economic aid to #Hungary"

People of #EU #Europe:

Relax

A reminder: Trump's words about #Canada last year

#MapleMAGA Pierre #Poilievre was trending to win

Instead Trump aided in Canadians rallying to Mark #Carney

The #US #USA administration is rat poison

Everything the child rapist touches turns to shit

Be angry at meddling in your #politics, yes

But Trump and #Vance supporting Orban helps Peter #Magyar

Trump sweetens pro-Orban endorsement with promises of economic aid to Hungary

"My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary's Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the Hungarian People ever need it."

^{Abbey Fenbert (The Kyiv Independent)}

Take that, you "Bridge to nowhere". 🌉 🛣️

Orban’s Chances of Winning Hungary Election Drop After JD Vance Rally

Orban is one of President Donald Trump's key European political allies.

^{Kate Plummer (Newsweek)}

"In the past 12 months, anti-Trump sentiment in both #Canada and #Australia has been credited with preventing right-wing conservatives from winning general elections. And, according to the latest polls coming out of #Hungary, Team #MAGA might just go and make it a hat-trick."

Hungary Election: Orban falls FURTHER behind in polls after Trump, Vance endorsements

Polls released in the wake of the US President and Vice President showing their support for Viktor Orban tell quite the story...

^{Tom (The London Economic)}

Seriously.

#JDVance says he's 'here to help' #Orbán #election campaign during #Hungary visit

Vance’s 2-day visit to Budapest is a bid to turn the tide in Orbán’s election campaign where the long-serving leader, a close #Trump ally, is trailing in the polls.
