Hungarian voters’ primary concerns are the economy, cost of living, corruption, and democracy, issues that are not being effectively addressed by the Fidesz party’s campaign, which focuses on a supposed threat from Ukraine. Polls suggest the opposition Tisza party could gain a parliamentary majority, potentially allowing them to amend the constitution and key laws needed to unlock EU funds. While Fidesz has historically strong support among older voters and in smaller towns, Tisza leads among younger and highly educated voters. Experts note that the Hungarian electoral system makes precise predictions difficult, as local constituency results can cause surprises. Voters supporting Tisza cite the need for change and eliminating corruption, while Fidesz supporters emphasize the country’s positive direction, economic stability, and pro-peace stance. Critics argue that Fidesz’s campaign, which centers on external threats and alleged conspiracies, is failing to resonate with voters who are focused on internal economic struggles.
