Hungary election tightens as Orban faces unexpected challenge

Polls show Viktor Orban facing his toughest test since 2010 as Peter Magyar’s Tisza party edges ahead in some surveys, with campaigns focusing on wages, prices and services; Orban accuses Magyar of bowing to the EU while opponents push a Western-leaning agenda. Despite Trump’s praise and planned U.S. visits, analysts say domestic issues will largely decide the April 12 vote, and observers note past elections favored Fidesz. A loss could reverberate across Europe’s right‑wing movements and the transatlantic conservative network.

Latin American Leaders at CPAC: Argentina's Meeting with Blinken and Republican Invitation to Bukele and Milei

Latin American leaders Nayib Bukele of El Salvador and Javier Milei of Argentina, known for their right-wing populism and illiberal policies, have gained favor among US conservatives, including former President Donald Trump. Their presence at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) reflects the American right's affinity for authoritarian leadership and extreme solutions to societal problems. Despite criticism for human rights violations and unsustainable policies, Bukele and Milei's ideologies resonate with conservatives who view their tough-on-crime and limited government approaches as solutions to perceived societal issues, reinforcing a global network of far-right politicians and promoting authoritarian rhetoric as the norm.
