Election campaign in Hungary heats up as Orban challenger Peter Magyar gains rural support
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"But now, support for Europe's longest-serving leader is declining amid poor economic performance and chronic inflation, and a challenger who has shifted the political tides by promising to dismantle Orban's system and put Hungary on a more prosperous, democratic track. Viktor Orban's despicable, corrupt government will do everything to preserve their stolen loot and their power, we have no doubt, Magyar, a 44-year-old former Fidesz insider, told The Associated Press."
A news organization conducts on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigates political financing, and produces documentaries to spotlight activists. The organization does not impose paywalls and solicits donations to fund journalists who report both sides of stories. Hungary's parliamentary election campaign pits Prime Minister Viktor Orban against challenger Peter Magyar in a contest that may unseat Orban after two decades in power. Orban's tenure included repeated terms since 1998 and dominance by the far-right Fidesz party. Critics accuse his government of corruption and authoritarian tactics, while poor economic performance and chronic inflation have eroded support. Magyar promises to dismantle Orban's system and pursue a more prosperous democratic path.
