💥📉 A fresh bombshell poll in Hungary by a reputable pollster shows Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz trailing opposition leader Péter Magyar’s TISZA, 36–53. Despite throwing everything at Magyar in recent weeks, the gap has only widened.
Just four months to go until Hungary's parliamentary election.

💥Hungary’s probably most scenic anti-Orbán protest is underway under the banner “Let’s defend our children,” after new details emerged about sexual and physical abuse in the child care system — plus ignorance or cover-ups by authorities. Orbán rival Péter Magyar leads the march of tens of thousands.

🗳️There are 8 months to go until Hungary’s April 2026 election.
Four years ago around this time, Viktor Orbán's ruling Fidesz led the united opposition by roughly 48.6% to 46.2%, then won big in April 2022 (54.13% vs 34.44%).
This time, the gap is much wider – and not in Orbán's favor.

'Sun, Sea and Sky: a Summer Phantasy,' (1892) is unique in John Atkinson Grimshaw’s body of work. It's remarkable in its minute Boudin-like detail with each grouping of figures given characterisation and individuality, location: Scarborough in Yorkshire.

💣💥 Another bombshell poll from Hungary: Péter Magyar’s opposition TISZA party leads PM Viktor Orbán’s ruling Fidesz-KDNP 51–36 — a 15-point gap.
Under Orbán’s own gerrymandered system, this could mean a two-thirds majority for TISZA.

Viktor Orbán’s crackdown on free press does not only affect Hungary. It affects all of Europe
The so-called “Transparency Law”, currently pending approval, significantly undermines freedom of expression in Hungary — and its impacts are unlikely stop at the country’s borders.
