In an interview with EIR, Zoltan Kiszelly, Director for Political Analysis at the Századvég Foundation in Budapest, explained that contrary to Western narratives, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s party Fidesz is ahead in the polls for the April 12 general elections in Hungary. Independent polls currently estimate 45% for Orbán and 40% for opposition leader Péter Magyar. Orbán is now engaged in mobilizing the vote, with rallies every day in new places.
The EU has not only put out the narrative that Orbán is losing in the poll, but also that Russia is interfering in the election campaign to favor Orbán. This narrative is preparatory to launching the typical scenario of protests after the vote, should Orbán win by a small margin. In reality the EU has massively interfered by financing NGOs, which have run campaigns against “corruption,” where the corrupt are regularly government figures.
In case of an Orbán defeat, which Professor Kiszelly gives at a 40% probability, Orbán will accept defeat. A Magyar government would then mean: 1. The European Peoples’ Party (EPP) policy will be implemented; 2. Hungary will join the EU so-called “Migration Pact” and the EU Public Prosecution Office; 3. It will no longer veto EU membership for Ukraine; and maybe: 4. Start procedures to join the euro.
