A rising political newcomer hoping to deal a blow to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán mobilized tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest on Saturday in a final show of strength on the eve of a European Parliament election.
Péter Magyar, a 43-year-old lawyer who in a matter of months has built up Hungary's strongest opposition party, hopes to use a good showing in Sunday's EU elections to propel himself and his movement toward defeating the nationalist Orbán in the next national ballot scheduled for 2026.
