Hungary's northwestern town of Győr on Saturday played host to rival rallies of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and opposition rival Péter Magyar, who started their early election campaign at the Olympic Sports Park and the Vienna Gate Square, respectively.
With the ballot approaching in April, Orbán —trailing in most polls to his main political rival, Péter Magyar —is scheduled to stage events in five cities before the end of the year, while Magyar, a onetime insider within Orbán’s Fidesz party who erupted onto Hungary’s political scene last year, aims to channel a growing number of dissatisfied voters into his camp.
