As Hungary prepares for the parliamentary election on April 12, the opposition Tisza party has released a comprehensive 240-page programme aimed at fundamentally reshaping the country's economic and diplomatic path. Led by former government insider Péter Magyar, the party currently represents the most significant challenge to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz since 2010.
Ukrainians "participating in forced conscriptions" will be expelled from Hungary immediately, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Facebook.
Key members of the opposition Momentum Movement staged a humorous political protest on Wednesday morning to make a serious point, leaving hundreds of toilet-cleaning brushes outside the mansion of János Lázár, Hungary’s Minister of Construction and Transport.
With elections due in April this year, can the right-wing populist PM Viktor Orbán, who has been in power for 15 years, hold off his main political challenger, Péter Magyar, as polls show the race tightening?
