Orbán’s anti-Ukraine campaign targets political rival as Hungary’s elections loom
- Prime Minister Viktor Orbán escalated an anti-Ukraine campaign targeting his main political rival, Péter Magyar, ahead of Hungary's national elections next spring.
- In March, Orbán's administration initiated a publicly funded media campaign alongside a nationwide consultation regarding Ukraine's potential EU accession, amid allegations linking Magyar to a disloyal agreement with Kyiv.
- The campaign portrays Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and European Commission President von der Leyen as plotting to undermine Hungary, while Tisza, Magyar's new party, leads Fidesz in most independent polls.
- Zelenskyy called this messaging 'dishonest' and accused Orbán of being anti-Ukrainian and anti-European, while Magyar dismissed the treason claims as baseless and 'outrageous.'
- This campaign reflects Orbán's focus on Ukraine as a voter issue and may aim to discredit Magyar ahead of the 2026 election, suggesting deep political polarization in Hungary.
