Over the weekend, tens of thousands of Hungarians took to the streets of Budapest to show their support for their nationalist leader, Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Orban, who is set to assume the European Union's rotating presidency in the second half of the year, has been facing challenges from several EU members.
One of the main points of contention is Orban's friendly stance towards Russia and his refusal to send weapons to Ukraine, a decision that has drawn criticism from some EU countries. The Hungarian population gathered in Budapest to voice their concerns, accusing the EU of attempting to drag their country into a conflict with Moscow.
