Thousands Rally in Hungary to Support Orbán Ahead of EU Election
TL;DR
Tens of thousands marched in Budapest in support of Prime Minister Viktor Orban ahead of the European Parliament election, which he frames as a choice between peace and war. Orban, who has been in power for 14 years, criticized his opponents as warmongers and called for a ceasefire in Ukraine, a stance seen as favorable to Russia. He urged voters to support his party to keep Hungary out of the conflict and hinted at forming a "transatlantic peace coalition" with a potential Donald Trump administration.
