Journalists have faced obstacles in reporting on the ruling Fidesz party’s campaign activities, with Prime Minister Orban and key government agencies reportedly unresponsive to inquiries. This situation has prompted the European Commission to initiate infringement proceedings against Hungary due to concerns over press freedom. Polls suggest that the opposition liberal-conservative Tisza party, led by Magyar, may secure a two-thirds parliamentary majority, potentially ending Fidesz’s 16-year rule. Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President Vance has publicly endorsed Orban’s re-election during a recent visit to Budapest.
