In Hungary, according to the results of the second sociological survey this week, Peter Magyar's "Tisza" party received 56% support among voters, while Viktor Orbán's "Fidesz" party received 37%. This is reported by UNN with reference to Bloomberg.
Details
Also, according to the poll, the "Tisza" party had every chance of winning two-thirds of the seats in parliament. According to another poll, the "Tisza" party has a smaller lead of 13 points over "Fidesz," but this is still enough for a confident parliamentary majority.
Meanwhile, Hungarian sociologists close to the country's government continue to give preference to Viktor Orbán's "Fidesz" party. The elections in Hungary are being closely watched outside the country, as they are seen as a geopolitical confrontation between Europe and Russia.
Viktor Orbán, who has been supported by US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, has become a "thorn in the side" of European Union allies due to his pro-Kremlin positions even after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine four years ago. At the same time, the election campaign was further shaken by leaks that appeared last week regarding the Orbán government's contacts with the Kremlin, which drew condemnation from several European leaders
Context
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó for a long time provided the Russians with access to closed discussions in the EU — Russian hackers also had full access to the networks of the Hungarian ministry.
Because of this, the European Union decided to reduce the exchange of confidential data with Budapest.
Subsequently, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán ordered an investigation into this matter.
As a reminder
The European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas reacted to information about the conversation between the Hungarian Foreign Minister and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, stating that European politicians must act in the interests of the European Union, not Russia.
