Well this happen right now Hungary: Orban challenger draws massive crowd on eve of vote Peter Magyar, a 43-year-old former government insider, spoke to a cheering crowd of tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest on Saturday — the eve of EU and Hungarian municipal elections in which he has emerged as nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban's most serious political challenger. Though Orban and his Fidesz party — in power since 2010 — look likely to take between 44% and 49% of the vote, Magyar's Tisza movement is tipped to take between 23-29%. A former Foreign Ministry employee in the prime minister's Brussels office, Magyar left Fidesz over the corruption and state propaganda he said he witnessed from inside Orban's political machine. www.dw.com/en/hungary-orban-challenger-draws-massive-crowd-on-eve-of-vote/a-69311458
