"Hungary has refused to participate in a common EU asylum policy or shared defence mechanism; opposed Europe's swift turn towards energy autonomy based on solar and wind power while continuing to import Russian oil and gas."
"The victory or defeat of Orban's Fidesz party, in power for 16 years, will likely have far-reaching effects on how the European Union governs itself in future."
"Opposition Tisza party leader Peter Magyar wants a stronger European orientation and would put Ukraine's membership to a binding referendum."
Hungary's parliamentary election on April 12 is viewed as a critical moment for the European Union. Under Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Hungary has resisted EU policies on asylum, defense, and energy autonomy, while also blocking Ukraine's EU membership talks. Observers believe the outcome of Orban's Fidesz party, which has been in power for 16 years, will significantly influence the EU's governance. Opposition leader Peter Magyar advocates for stronger EU ties and anti-corruption measures, with polls showing his party leading Fidesz by about 10 points.
