Tens of thousands rallied on Saturday for Hungarian opposition figure Peter Magyar, who has emerged as the main challenger to long-time nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, on the eve of EU elections.

Though Orban's Fidesz party stands to gain an unassailable 50 percent of votes, according to the latest polls, Magyar's Tisza movement is expected to win around 27 percent on Sunday.
