Hungary’s parliamentary election on 12 April is shaping up to be the biggest test yet of Viktor Orban’s 16 years in power. For the first time in more than a decade, the prime minister faces a challenger who might turn the tables: Peter Magyar.
Much of the election campaign has been defined by a clash of narratives. While Orban warns of instability, war and foreign interference, Magyar is focused on corruption, rising prices and what he says is the capture of the state by a small governing circle.
