Hungary's opposition #Tisza party has a small lead over the ruling #Fidesz party,
according to an opinion poll published on Thursday,
the second survey this week to show Tisza overtaking Prime Minister Viktor Orban's party.

Centre-right Tisza's leader,
Peter Magyar, a former government insider,
swept into Hungarian politics before June's European Parliament elections
when he mounted a serious challenge to Orban,
capitalising on discontent with other opposition parties.

Take me to the magic of the moment:

April 2026

Orbán tries to ban Pride in Hungary as polls show rival Magyar surging.

Fidesz says it’s trying to prohibit Pride to keep children safe from the LGBTQ+ agenda, but opponents say the prime minister’s party is trying to create a wedge issue.

The majority of Hungarian voters wouldn’t support a ban on Pride. According to a poll, only 36% of voters support banning the march, while 56% would keep it open.

Ukrainska Pravda · Hungarian opposition ahead of Orbán's party for first time in 18 years – pollBy Ukrainska Pravda
#EU#Hungary#Ukraine

Thousands of protesters gathered outside the headquarters of Hungary’s public media corporation on Saturday
👍to demonstrate against what they say is an entrenched propaganda network operated by the nationalist government at taxpayer expense.

The protest was organized by Hungary’s most prominent opposition figure, #Péter #Magyar, and his upstart #TISZA party,
which has emerged in recent months as ❇️ the most serious political challenge for Prime Minister #Viktor #Orbán since he took power nearly 15 years ago.

Magyar, whose party received nearly 30% of the vote in European Union elections this summer
and is polling within a few points of the governing Fidesz party,
has been outspoken about what he sees as the damage Orbán’s “propaganda factory” has done to Hungary’s democracy.

“What is happening here in Hungary in 2024, and calling itself ‘public service’ media, is a global scandal,”
Magyar told the crowd in Budapest on Saturday.
“Enough of the nastiness, enough of the lies, enough of the propaganda. Our patience has run out. The time for confrontation has come.”
