Hungary votes Sunday as Orbán faces strongest challenge yet
Tens of thousands of Hungarians filled Budapest's Heroes' Square on Friday night for a seven-hour anti-Orbán concert, as opposition leader Péter Magyar leads in polls ahead of Sunday's parliamentary election. The vote carries unusual international weight — Washington, Moscow, Kyiv, and Brussels are all watching, since Orbán's defeat would reshape Hungary's alignment on the Ukraine war and EU politics. Chants of "Russians, go home" rang out across the crowd.
