- Prime Minister Viktor Orbán faces a significant challenge to his 16-year rule from the center-right Tisza party and its leader, Magyar, a 45-year-old lawyer, ahead of April 12 elections.

- Over 100,000 people attended a recent rally in Budapest, where Tisza supporter Dorina Csóbán said the election had become "pretty divisive in my family for the older people, because we younger people are saying clearly that there must be change."
- Magyar promises to end Hungary's drift toward Russia and restore Western orientation by recovering billions in blocked EU funds to revive the stagnating economy.
