Nearly a dozen politicians took to the debate stage in Hungary's capital Thursday to make their pitch to Hungarian voters ahead of European Parliament elections. Outside, protesters demonstrated against the public broadcaster that hosted the event.
The debate, between the leaders of 11 party lists running in the June 9 elections, is the first to be broadcast by Hungary's public media since 2006, when Prime Minister Viktor Orbán last appeared face-to-face with an opponent to appeal for support ahead of elections.
