Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has tightened border controls on foreign nationals due to security concerns stemming from US-Israeli strikes on Iran. He frames security as a key issue in his electoral campaign, while facing challenges from the opposition Tisza party. Orbán's government has raised the terror alert and ordered military protection for energy infrastructure amid rising tensions with Ukraine over the Druzhba pipeline. Analysts suggest that while Orbán's security narrative may benefit him, the ongoing energy crisis could pose risks to his government if inflation continues to rise.
