Watch: Opposition Leader Magyar Reaches Romania on Foot

• 29 May 2025 8:12 AM

Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar has made a bold move by walking across the border into Romania to rally ethnic Hungarian voters ahead of the 2026 elections.

Leading the centre-right Tisza party, Magyar challenges Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s decade-long dominance, targeting conservative and rural communities traditionally loyal to Orbán.

With polls showing Tisza gaining ground and political tensions rising, this cross-border campaign signals a high-stakes battle for Hungary’s future — one that now extends beyond its borders.
