Decisive battle: will Viktor Orban remain in power after the elections

April 12 could be a turning point not only for Hungary, but for the whole of Europe.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said yesterday that if Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wins the election, the country will maintain its current political course, including neutrality regarding the Ukrainian conflict, and will also oppose Ukraine's accession to the European Union (EU).

On April 10, Orban said in a video message to citizens that opponents of the current government in Hungary want to seize it by any means, trying to challenge the results of the parliamentary elections and discrediting them internationally. He added that the global situation requires unity from Hungarians, and called for avoiding disagreements and hostility within the state.
