Prime minister has been trailing in the polls to Péter Magyar in race that could have repercussions for Europe, the US and Russia
in Budapest
Viktor Orbán finished his electoral campaign at a rally in front of the Matthias Church in the centre of the Buda Castle District last night.
It wasn’t that busy as you would perhaps expect for the last rally of the campaign, but a few thousand people gathered there to express their hopes that Orbán will be re-elected for the fifth consecutive term.
But Orbán’s key messages – his criticism of Europe’s support for Ukraine and warnings about the dangers of changing the government amid looming global uncertainty – appeared to land well, with many of his supporters enthusiastically reacting to his speech.
