"The party of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban slipped behind that of his upstart challenger Peter Magyar in a second opinion poll in as many days, pointing to a potentially close parliamentary election in 2026.

The poll by Publicus Institute published by Nepszava newspaper Thursday put support for Magyar’s Tisza party at 24% among the entire population, 1 percentage point ahead of the ruling Fidesz. The breakdown among decided voters was 39% for Tisza versus 37% for Fidesz. The survey was carried out between Oct. 11-18 among 1,000 people."

"The Tisza party supports the Fidesz government's position against sending weapons or troops to support Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian war.[32]"

Their leader was a member of Orbans gang before breaking off and saying that they are nice center right group.

Well I'm definitely rooting for them to beat Orbans I don't hold very high hopes for policies.
