" Thousands of people rallied in Budapest on Saturday as a political newcomer led a push to mobilise voters against Hungary’s populist prime minister, Viktor Orbán, ahead of European elections on Sunday.
“We defeated apathy,” declared Péter Magyar, a former government insider who switched sides and launched an opposition movement, as he stood in front of a vast crowd which filled the capital’s Heroes’ Square."
Good news, it will be a rough road to oust him though.
This is EP and local government election, parliamentary elections will be in 2026. Orbán is expected to get 40-50% today. On a parliamentary election that could still result in a supermajority, or close to it. Orbán wil be ousted by colesterol, not by election.
I'd laugh if it wasn't so serious. Hurrah for cardiac arrest then!
