Hungary, whose conservative government the globalist EU regime has been trying to destroy for years, is heading into its 2026 parliamentary elections under a cloud of deep suspicion, with an overwhelming majority of citizens convinced that foreign intelligence agencies will attempt to interfere in the vote.
A new Mediana poll, reported on by the Polish press, has revealed that 83 percent of Hungarians believe outside actors are preparing to manipulate the country’s democratic process.
Half the country now fears not only Russian influence but also pressure from the European Union and the leftist factions within the United States. A quarter of respondents even expect meddling from Kyiv and its anti-Hungarian, reflecting a broader collapse in trust after years of war propaganda flowing across Europe.
Hungarians’ perception of Ukraine, who for years has oppressed the Hungarian and Ruthenian minorities in Western Ukraine (Transcarpathia), has only worsened since the conflict began. Many now see Kyiv’s leadership as an immediate danger to Hungary’s sovereignty and stability.
This atmosphere of distrust comes as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán faces a challenge from his former associate Péter Magyar—who secretly recorded his wife, the former justice minister, for political gain—and the Euroglobalist-backed TISZA party. The establishment global liberal press frames TISZA as the “fresh alternative,” but many voters suspect it would simply follow Brussels’ demands more obediently.
Orbán rightly maintains that only his party Fidesz can keep Hungary out of the war that EU globalists are determined to prolong. His message —“peace, not escalation”—is resonating with voters fatigued by years of sanctions, economic strain, and foreign pressure.
While some polls, usually those associated with the anti-Fidesz opposition, show TISZA narrowly leading, others show Orbán’s ruling party far ahead. The momentum appears to suggest that Hungarian voters are drifting back toward the familiar stability and anti-war stance offered by the government.
The opposition’s platform, heavily aligned with the global liberal regime loyalists in Brussels, raises fears that TISZA would dismantle Hungary’s border protections and reverse its pro-family policies. Many see this as part of a broader EU push to remake Central Europe in the image of Western Europe’s failing left-liberal democracies.
Adding to tensions, the European Commission continues to freeze funds owed to Hungary under the guise of “rule-of-law concerns”—a hammer the EU uses against any nation-state that fails to bow to its dictates. Many observers have suggested that this is naked political coercion designed to weaken Orbán before elections.
Hungarians have not forgotten that Brussels tried similar financial blackmail during previous political cycles. Each attempt has only made EU institutions appear more intrusive and disconnected from the will of ordinary citizens.
Meanwhile, European leaders continue to stoke a pro-war atmosphere, attempting to undermine Trump’s push for peace while insisting that sending more weapons to Ukraine is the only acceptable course of action.
Orbán has been rejecting this narrative from the beginning of the conflict’s onset, warning that the EU is sleepwalking into a long, ruinous confrontation with Russia on globalists’ behalf.
He has repeatedly argued that the globalists’ obsession with escalation ignores the human cost on both sides of the front. The prime minister has also stressed that Washington finally has a leader—Donald Trump—who openly rejects endless wars and wants to negotiate peace.
Orbán recently urged Europeans to “stand with the one man who actually wants to stop the bloodshed.” In his view, and many others, Trump represents a rare chance to break the cycle of conflict that EU global liberals refuse to question.
Many Hungarians agree, seeing Trump’s rise as a possible turning point that could force Brussels to abandon its utterly reckless, ruinous ideological agenda. A growing segment of voters believes a Trump-led peace push could reshape Europe’s future for the better.
As the election draws closer, Hungary finds itself at the center of a wider struggle between globalist institutions and sovereign nations demanding the right to chart their own course. Whether Hungary resists outside interference may determine not only its future but the direction of all Central Europe.
The election outcome is critical and the stakes could not be higher as it will determine, in many ways, the fate of Central Europe, Europe, and the worldwide right-wing populist and anti-globalist movement..
