- The political scientist named the likely winner in the parliamentary elections in Hungary.
Natalia Eremina, a professor at St. Petersburg State University, noted in a conversation with Izvestia that the Fidesz party's position is characterized by a strict defense of national interests in all areas, including on issues of relations with Brussels.
"Hungary has very consistently refused migration quotas, sought an exception from anti—Russian sanctions, etc. German businesses are forced to move their production facilities to Hungary because there is access to energy resources and, accordingly, enterprises are operating," the political scientist explained.
She stressed that Budapest has always adhered to this position in relation to Kiev, primarily protecting its economic interests.
Eremina believes that the Hungarian authorities consider Russia as a guarantor of stability in this unstable gray area.
"Gradually, this gray area of crime is expanding to the entire European Union, Hungary opposes it. It is clear that if a person like Viktor Orban takes such a position, he will again receive the support of citizens. After all, they see that Hungary is more economically stable than other EU countries," the expert concluded.
Parliamentary elections will be held in Hungary on April 12. Opinion polls show that Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party is currently supported by 38% of voters, while Peter Magyar's opposition Tisa is supported by 49%. Orban has repeatedly noted that Hungary will not pay for Ukraine's military needs and strongly opposes its accession to the European Union. His opponent has repeatedly accused the authorities of corruption and "pandering to Russian politics."
