#Viktor Orban

Scarborough attacked Orban as an anti-democratic thug and criticized the administration for working alongside Russia to elect someone who opposes Western liberalism. He stated, 'Let's talk about the collusion that's going on right now between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to elect Orban.'

Discussion was tough and rough, but Viktor is still not budging, one European official told Reuters. Another official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential discussions between leaders, said that everyone is increasingly angry with Orban.

Orban is currently facing a tough re-election fight against opposition leader Peter Magyar, who has presented the first realistic challenge to Orban's grip on power in years. Last week, President Donald Trump posted a glowing endorsement on his Truth Social account, calling Orban a a truly strong and powerful Leader who fights tirelessly for, and loves, his Great Country and People, just like I do for the United States of America.

A record number of people including Hungarians from across the country and dozens of MEPs and officials from across Europe turned up, transforming the march into a potent symbol of pushback against Orban and his government's steady rollback of rights. On Wednesday, prosecutors said Karacsony had organised and led a public gathering despite the police ban, adding in a statement that they were proposing that the court impose a fine on the defendant in a summary judgment without a trial.

Fears grow that charter may be so broad that it could be an attempt to usurp the United Nations We are going to have peace in the world, declared President Donald Trump, as he inaugurated his Gaza Board of Peace in Davos, Switzerland, flanked by representatives from a hodgepodge of 19 countries.

Hungarian politicians from the country's ruling right-wing populist Fidesz party accuse national conservative opposition leader Peter Magyar of all sorts of things. They say that the 44-year-old leader of the Tisza party and favorite for the parliamentary elections in spring 2026 is a Brussels mercenary. They call him a Ukrainian agent and a warmonger who wants to forcibly recruit Hungarian men.

As the leaders met, Trump promised to consider a waiver for Hungary on Russian oil sanctions. "We are looking at it because it is very difficult for him to get the oil and gas from other areas. As you know they don't have the advantage of having sea," he said. Meanwhile, Orban said he would explain to Trump "what would be the consequences for the Hungarian people and for the Hungarian economy not to get oil and gas from Russia." "Because we are supplied by pipelines. Pipeline is not an ideological or political issue. It's a physical reality because we don't have port(s)," Orban said.
