Tens of thousands of supporters gathered in Hungary's capital on Saturday to show their backing for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, just a week before the European Parliament election. The demonstration, labeled as a 'peace march' by organizers, saw Orbán's supporters from Hungary and neighboring countries marching along the Danube River in Budapest, waving flags and signs advocating for peace.
Orbán, the longest-serving leader in the European Union with 14 years in power, has centered his campaign for the upcoming election on the war in Ukraine. He has framed the election as a crucial moment between peace in Europe and the threat of a world war, portraying his opponents as warmongers seeking to drag Hungary into the conflict.
