On October 23, 2025, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban and challenger Peter Magyar held rival rallies in Budapest to commemorate Memorial Day for the Revolution of 1956 against Soviet rule. The events also served as campaign activities ahead of April elections. Orban led a "peace march" criticizing EU support for Ukraine, while Magyar rallied under the banner of "system change." Orban has been Hungary's leader for 15 years with strained ties to the EU but closer relations with Russia. Magyar, a former Fidesz insider turned EU parliamentarian, is challenging Orban due to growing economic and political dissatisfaction among voters.
