The parliamentary elections in Hungary could mark a historic turning point, ending Prime Minister Viktor Orban's sixteen-year rule. This election is considered crucial for the country's political future and its position within the European Union.
In power since 2010, Viktor Orban, a figure of European nationalism, enjoys the support of the American president. Donald Trump as well as close relations with Moscow. But he faces strengthened opposition, embodied by the centre-right Tisza party, which appears to be leading in several recent polls.
According to these opinion polls, Tisza could not only overtake Orban's Fidesz party, but also profoundly reshape the Hungarian political landscape. An opposition victory would pave the way for closer ties with Brussels and a reorientation of the country's foreign policy.
The stakes extend far beyond national borders. The outcome of this election could influence the political balance in Europe, particularly on sensitive issues such as relations with Russia, energy policy, and democratic values.
For Viktor Orban, this election represents the biggest challenge of his political career. After more than a decade in power marked by recurring tensions with the European Union, he is fighting for his political survival in a context of growing dissent.
With just days to go before the vote, the campaign is taking place in a particularly tense atmosphere, where internal issues and geopolitical rivalries are intertwined. The result could permanently redefine Hungary's trajectory on the European and international stage.
