In Hungary, Peter Magyar, a former diplomat and ex-member of the ruling Fidesz party, won nearly 30% of the vote in the European elections after a campaign that lasted just a few weeks. An electoral score that now makes him Prime Minister Viktor Orban's main rival.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party has registered its worst performance in an EU election since Hungary joined the bloc 20 years ago. Fidesz got 44.8% of the vote June 9 for the EU Parliament, more than any of its domestic rivals, but the election result was a sharp decline from the 52% support the party won in the 2019 EU vote.
