"Orban has blocked as much European aid to Ukraine as he could, is openly critical of the European Union, and has ingratiated himself with US President Donald Trump."
"Orban has also used the slogan 'MAGA there, MEGA here,' as he portrays himself as the European leader who can build a transnational far-right alliance."
"The outcome of the Hungarian election will show whether the camaraderie between Orban and Trump worked at the hustings."
"Experts say Trump and MAGA's support for Orban must be seen in the context of cultivating resistance against a mostly liberal continent."
Hungarians will vote on Viktor Orban's leadership, with Donald Trump endorsing him on social media. Orban has criticized the EU and aligned himself with Trump's MAGA movement. He aims to create a far-right alliance in Europe, using slogans reminiscent of Trump's campaign. The election results will indicate the effectiveness of Trump's support for Orban and the potential for a transnational far-right project. Experts emphasize Orban's significance within the MAGA movement, suggesting he plays a crucial role in its European strategy.
