Economic problems threaten Orban's power in the elections — The Times Hungary's economy has effectively stopped growing since 2022, and inflation of around 4% is gradually reducing citizens' incomes. Last year, Orban promised a 6% economic growth, but the actual growth was only 0.3%. Ahead of the April 12 elections, most polls show that Orban's party, Fidesz, is trailing behind the Tiza party by 8-12%. Despite years of political protection, including campaigns to discredit opponents and control over 80% of the media, Orban may face a serious challenge. According to András Hanna, director of the research company Medián, the Madjar party is confidently leading and has a real chance of challenging Orban. Polls show that most Hungarians want a change in government, especially in light of worsening financial conditions. Economist Viktor Zsidai noted that economic difficulties already cost Fidesz around 500,000 votes in the 2022 elections.
