Is Europe’s future on the ballot in Hungary? In Budapest, the US vice president is actively stumping for far-right incumbent Viktor Orban who trails in the polls ahead of Sunday’s general election. European politicians sometimes campaign for likeminded peers from neighbouring nations, but in this case, it is the United States openly taking aim at the bloc using the same talking points as Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
The Tisza Party will host its main election-night event in Batthyány tér and along the nearby Danube riverbank, directly across from the Parliament building, the party announced.
Politics should be thought of solely as a service, not as a career, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview uploaded to a YouTube channel on Thursday evening.
During Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s campaign rally in Pécel on Saturday, repeated scuffles broke out between counter-protesters and groups of men dressed in black, known from previous events.
