Hungary's Pivotal Election Campaign Heats Up

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY - MARCH 4, 2026: The Hungarian Parliament Building is illuminated at night along the Danube River. The historic site is framed against a backdrop of political billboards blanketing the surrounding city ahead of the April 12 general election. The billboards, part of the governing Fidesz party's campaign, feature images of opposition leader Peter Magyar alongside international figures Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ursula von der Leyen under the slogan 'Ok a kockazat' (They are the risk), reinforcing Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s 'war or peace' narrative.
