After having agreed to provide Ukraine a €90 billion EU loan package, officials in Budapest have said on Friday they plan to veto the deal unless Russian oil starts flowing back to Hungary.

Elections in Hungary are on 12 April 2026. Mark that date. Hopefully, then, one less problem for Europe and Ukraine.
Orban is polling at 103% of the vote though. Hungarians love him!
On a serious note, will there be independent vote counting?
Afaik, they’re doing about the same as republicans do in some states. Things like gerrymandering and threatening opposition members.
And yet his Fidesz is polling 10 percent-point behind opposition Tisza.
I think the long term solution to the Hungarian problem along many others is a political European union in addition to the economic one.
All Magyar has to do is get with the times and promise to release the sex tape if he wins.
Magyar is better than Orban but not much. So, don’t get your hopes up.
