Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary
A Controversial Figure in European Politics
A Threat to Orban's Rule
A rising political newcomer in Hungary is seeking to capitalize on a scandal that rocked the party of the country's long-serving Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán. This has become the biggest threat to Orban's rule since he returned to power in 2010. Hungary has been shaken by the sudden resignation of the deputy leader of Orban's ruling Fidesz party, Gergely Gulyás. Gulyás was a close ally of Orban and his departure has sent shockwaves through the party.
Orbán's Stance on Russia
Viktor Orban sometimes carves a lonely figure at EU summits, but he is not without allies. The European Parliament has accused Hungary of violating the rule of law and democratic principles, but Orban has dismissed these accusations as politically motivated. Orban has also been criticized for his close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. During his first visit to neighboring Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Hungary would not send weapons to Ukraine and would not allow weapons to be transported through its territory. This stance has put Orban at odds with other European leaders, who have been providing military aid to Ukraine.
