Voting has begun in Hungary's parliamentary elections, pitting incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s long-ruling Fidesz against challengers led by Peter Magyar’s Tisza party. The night before the polls, Orban wrapped-up his campaign with a rally in Budapest’s historic Buda Castle district, blending confidence, anti-war rhetoric, and MAGA-style flair amid scattered protests.
It was still chilly at around six o’clock this morning when polling stations opened in the Hungarian capital. In Budapest’s 7th District, polling station No. 002 has been set up in a day care centre for elderly people on Dohany Street.
