Hungary's vote: Rising opposition threatens Orban’s grip on power
Hungary's election on Sunday could have repercussions far beyond its borders. Since Prime Minister Viktor Orban came to power in 2010, Hungary has become the only EU member state ranked as “partly free” by Freedom House – but it is also a model for far-right movements elsewhere. Orban's ties to Russia have also hindered Europe’s response to the war in Ukraine. With polls showing a strong lead for the centre-right opposition Tisza party, our regional correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports.
