Hungary's TISZA opposition party is leading Viktor Orbán's Fidesz ruling party in the polls, with a national election scheduled for next spring. But its leader, Péter Magyar, is concerned that Orbán is set to be given help from his ideological ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, whose bailout of Argentina helped save Javier Milei in the country's midterm elections last month. Here's more from @POLITICOEurope.

Orbán counts on Trump going full Argentina to save him from election doom

#Hongrie. #PéterMagyar a fait déferler des centaines de milliers de personnes ce 23/10/25 à Budapest. "1956, Révolution. 2026, Changement de régime". Ca sent le roussi pour l'autocrate pro-russe Victor #Orbán. À 6 mois des législatives, tous les sondages placent Magyar en tête. 👍

Some good news for you from #Hungary #Magyarország

"According to the latest Median poll, Tisza now commands 51 percent of support among decided voters, while Fidesz has fallen to 36 percent—a 15-point gap that would have seemed unthinkable just a year ago"

#Tisza is the party of #PeterMagyar, government insider turned opposition leader

#Fidesz is the party of Viktor #Orbán 🤮

April 2026 is the #vote. Plenty of time for dirty tricks. But plenty of room for hope

The Quiet Revolution Taking Place in Hungary Is Very Bad News for Viktor Orbán

A quiet political upheaval is taking shape in Hungary, one that threatens to end the long reign of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the ruling Fidesz party. At the center of this transformation is Péter Magyar, a 44-year-old former government insider turned charismatic opposition leader, who is now galvanizing a restless electorate with promises of justice, transparency, and a return to Europe. What began as a modest breakaway movement last year has rapidly grown into a national phenomenon.

Hungary's opposition leader Peter Magyar walked from Budapest to northwestern Romania in the hope of gaining the support of ethnic Hungarians there.

Such support would be key for an election victory.
