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.
"I love Hungary and that [Prime Minister] Viktor [Orbán]", US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday over the phone at the beginning of US Vice President JD Vance's speech at the Hungarian-American Friendship Day 2026 event at the MTK Sports Hall.
As a sputtering Hungarian economy and mounting scandals fuel the rise of his first credible challenger in years, Viktor Orbán’s 16-year grip on power faces a high-stakes reckoning in the April 12 general election.
The number of Ukrainian spies exposed in Hungary is growing, the minister heading the Prime Minister's Office told a regular press conference on Thursday. "The first was Szabolcs Panyi, who has been spying on his own country in cooperation with a foreign state, and the IT experts working for the Tisza Party," Gergely Gulyas said.
