Last month, Trump said Orbán had his “complete and total support” in a video message to the Hungarian Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest.

On Sunday Orbán faces Péter Magyar, a former insider in the prime minister’s Fidesz party, who broke with him two years ago to found the centre-right Tisza party.

Tisza leads Fidesz by between 10% and 20% in most polls. Only the strongly pro-government Nézőpont agency puts Fidesz narrowly ahead.

    Hungary is Putin’s lapdog, effectively supports Russia in Ukraine and sabotages the EU from within. As well as Victor Orban being the enemy of basic democratic norms.

    The Trump administration literally sees the EU as their enemy. Trump wants to break up the EU because the EU is strong enough to protect EU members against Trump. Trump wants Europe to be a weaker group of small countries, that Trump can individually exploit in one-sided trade deals. The Trump administration hates Democracy, and hates us.

        This guy pops up everywhere with anti-western rhetoric. New account shilling for China or Russia.

            Completely anti-western? Are you saying democracy shouldn’t exist and everyone should be against it?

                  I prefer collaborative democracy rather than competitive democracy which liberalism offeres. The closest example to collaborative one you will get is Cuba, while not perfect it is far more democratic in true sense.
