Fidesz

Fidesz is the ruling political party in Hungary, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. They are a right-wing, nationalist party that has been in power for several years. Fidesz is currently newsworthy due to the upcoming Hungarian elections in April, where they face a strong challenge. Recent events include Orbán and challenger Magyar holding rival rallies, allegations of Ukrainian interference in the election, and Orbán ordering extra security due to alleged threats. The party has also been criticized for anti-EU rhetoric and controversial policies, including those affecting the LGBTQ+ community and Roma people. The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently met with Orbán to sign a civilian nuclear pact, highlighting the complex relationship between the two countries. Former US President Trump has endorsed Orbán, underscoring the party's international connections and ideological alignment with certain conservative movements.
