Viktor Orbán sets out to put things right

After the 2022 election, Viktor Orbán shifted focus from domestic to foreign policy, attempting to position himself as an international leader alongside figures like Trump and Putin. Despite this, internal pressures within Fidesz for change emerged, particularly with the rise of political newcomer Péter Magyar and his Tisza Party. Orbán's avoidance of directly naming his opponents and his recent efforts to enhance his public image indicate a response to the growing challenge posed by Magyar. The political landscape is evolving, with Fidesz aiming to maintain its voter base ahead of the 2026 elections, while Magyar's popularity continues to rise.
