The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been building an unaliberal state based on the so-called for years. “Christian freedom”.
His government is marked by attacks on the media, the LGBTQ community and the reign to the Modified Fidesz. Nevertheless, in the eve of the parliamentary elections scheduled for April 2026, for the first time, a seriously threatening someone from his own ranks Peter Magyar, a former ally and husband of the former Minister of Justice Judit Varge.
In February 2024, Magyar was pierced after a scandal in which the President Katalin Novak was resigned by a male convicted of concealing sexual abuse of children. The scandal shook the foundations of Orbánova authorities and gave the wind in the back to the new opposition force of Tisza Strangers, which leads to Magyar.
Magyar balances between criticism of corruption and nepotism and retaining the support of conservative voters in the village of Fidesza. His talks on Facebook attract tens of thousands of spectators, and the Party Tisza is now in surveys from 9 to 18 percent of the advantages in front of Fidesz, except in the polls of the Prodden Institute.
Identity and rights issues LGBTQ persons remain a key weapon of Orbán’s propaganda. The government tried to ban the procession procession, but in July, more than 100,000 people walked the streets of Budapest, despite the ban.
At the same time, the economy stagnates, public hospitals and schools are in poor condition, and the infrastructure decays. Orbánove Once efficient methods, listening to the fear of citizens, populism and medium control no longer give the same results.
Orbán in 2010. changed the election law to their advantage, but now even his advisors admit that “long-lasting authority corrosives trust.” Hungary is today, more than ever, ready to change.
If the war in Ukraine lasts, Orbán could be shown again as the “pigeon of peace”. But its inability to meet promises from economic stability to cultural control increasingly removes voters.
Political analysts believe that elections 2026. will not only decide the fate of Orbán, but also the direction to move: according to the new democratic chapter or deeper authoritarianism.
