The Global Stakes of Hungary’s Pivotal Election
Hungary's upcoming election may mark the end of Viktor Orbán's nearly decade-long rule, as his regime faces the prospect of collapse. Orbán's government has been characterized by a strongman rule, with a servile media, acquiescent judiciary, and supportive think tanks, but his opposition is gaining momentum.
Hungary is set to hold a pivotal election, with Viktor Orbán's rule hanging in the balance. Orbán has governed the country since 2010, but his opposition is gaining momentum. He began his career as an anti-Communist and rose to prominence in 1989. Orbán's party, Fidesz, was initially a liberal reform party but has since become a nationalist force. In 2010, Fidesz won a sweeping parliamentary majority, and Orbán has since worked to entrench himself in power. The upcoming election may mark a significant shift in Hungary's political landscape.
