Hungarian Opposition Accuses Russia of Political Interference

The accusation reflects intensifying internal political strife, as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party faces a decline in public support ahead of upcoming parliamentary elections. Orbán has long been considered pro-Moscow, which places his government at odds with the EU amidst growing concerns over Ukraine and energy policies.
