"Despite Magyar leading the polls, he is not necessarily seen as the perfect candidate, but rather a protest vote against Orban. People who are planning to vote for him are hopeful about the vote on Sunday and predict a clear win for Magyar, who has the highest chance so far to put an end to Orban's reign."
"A surprisingly high number of Fidesz supporters in the capital resonate with the ruling party's message: Sunday is about choosing between war and peace. One Fidesz voter called the opposition candidate a narcissist; others said they are satisfied with how Orban supports ethnic Hungarians in the neighbouring countries."
Residents in Budapest are engaged in discussions about the upcoming parliamentary vote, with many expressing strong opinions on the candidates. Viktor Orban, the far-right prime minister, has been in power for 16 years, while Peter Magyar, a centre-right figure, is seen as a potential protest vote against Orban. Despite Magyar leading in polls, he is not viewed as an ideal candidate. Some Fidesz supporters remain loyal, citing Orban's support for ethnic Hungarians and framing the election as a choice between war and peace.
