Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán on Friday called on voters to keep him as a safe bet, as thousands of young opposition supporters filled a square in Budapest celebrating his potential political demise. “We are now facing the danger of losing everything we have built together,” Orbán said on Friday morning on his social media channel. Peter Magyar, leader of the opposition Tisza party, speaks at a rally in Gyor, Hungary on Thursday. The prime minister has built his campaign around his hostility toward Ukraine. But his appearance has so far failed to give the prime minister a boost in the polls.
