Hungary votes in high-stakes bid to end Orbán era
TL;DR Summary
Hungary is voting in a tightly watched parliamentary election that could end Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule, led by Péter Magyar of the Tisza party who casts the ballot as a choice between East and West; turnout is surging and polls are mixed, with broad support for EU membership despite years of Brussels-bashing. The result could reshape Hungary’s stance toward the EU and Ukraine, with early results expected after polls close and overseas ballots later in the week.
