Massive Rally for Pro-Russia PM Orban in Budapest Ahead of EU Elections

Massive Rally for Pro-Russia PM Orban in Budapest Ahead of EU Elections. Tens of thousands gathered in Budapest to support pro-Russia Prime Minister Viktor Orban just a week before the European Parliament elections.

The "peace march" saw Orban's supporters converge from all over Hungary and neighboring countries. Orban, who has focused his EU election campaign on the Ukraine war, labeled his opponents as warmongers and warned against the EU's pro-war direction in a fiery speech.

Despite recent scandals and an economic crisis, Orban's right-wing populism and pro-Russia stance still resonate strongly in Hungary. At the rally, Hungarian citizens expressed strong support for Orban’s anti-war policies, as he criticized EU and NATO partners for providing military support to Ukraine.
