Hungary's election is a crucial moment for the European Union. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is expected to be removed from power. Orbán has been praised by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, but his government has been criticized for curbing independent media and democratic rights. If Orbán loses, his rival Péter Magyar is expected to strengthen ties with the EU and distance Hungary from Russia. Orbán's rule has seen Hungary downgraded by the US-based pro-democracy NGO Freedom House. The country has been characterized as an 'electoral autocracy' since 2018.
