Hungary's Political Landscape: Tisza's Surge Against Orban's Fidesz

  • Hungary

In a significant shift in Hungary's political landscape, the centre-right opposition Tisza party has sustained its 10 percentage point lead over Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party, as per a fresh opinion poll.

The poll indicates Tisza's increasing popularity, particularly among younger voters, contrasting with Fidesz's stronger support among older citizens in rural areas. This underscores a generational divide as Hungary approaches its parliamentary election on April 12.

Led by Peter Magyar, Tisza emphasizes anti-corruption and EU integration, posing a strong challenge to Orban's nationalist agenda. The upcoming election could reshape Hungary's role in Europe, challenging Orban's longstanding governance since 2010.
