"This year's race is viewed as one of the dirtiest elections in Hungarian history, with Budapest plastered with posters depicting Magyar as a two-faced puppet of Brussels and Kyiv."
"Orban's xenophobic nationalism has made him a leading critic of immigration and a chief opponent of E.U. efforts to absorb migrants and refugees."
"Magyar has run on a platform largely focused on domestic issues, accusing Orban of mismanaging Hungary's weak economy and railing against corruption and cronyism."
Hungarians are voting in a crucial election that could determine Prime Minister Viktor Orban's future. Orban, who has governed with increasing authoritarianism since 2010, faces a challenge from Peter Magyar, a center-right candidate. The election is marked by high voter turnout and intense campaigning, with accusations of corruption against Orban and a focus on domestic issues from Magyar. Orban's nationalist stance and ties to Russia have drawn criticism, while Magyar emphasizes economic mismanagement and corruption.
