Viktor Orban

Viktor Orban is the Prime Minister of Hungary. He is a prominent figure on the global right, known for his conservative policies and close relationship with former US President Donald Trump. He is newsworthy due to several recent events. An American actor, Rob Schneider, publicly endorsed him, highlighting Hungary's role in the global far-right movement. Furthermore, Hungary has granted asylum to a Polish ex-justice minister facing embezzlement charges, raising concerns about political motivations. Orban's government is also notable for its close alignment with Trump's foreign policy initiatives, as Hungary was the only country to unequivocally accept Trump's invitation to join his controversial 'Board of Peace'. Domestically, the mayor of Budapest has been charged for allowing a pride march, suggesting a crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights. These events underscore Orban's continued influence and the controversies surrounding his leadership.
