Orban has every chance of losing power in Hungary

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban faces a real threat of losing power due to the significant increase in the popularity of opposition forces in the country.

According to the latest sociological polls, the Hungarian opposition party "Tisa" not only bypassed the ruling party "Fidesz", but also gained a fairly significant advantage over it — about 15%.

Thus, the poll showed that 51% of voters are ready to vote for "Tysa", while only 36% for "Fidesz". In March, the same sociological group recorded the advantage of "Tysa" at 9%.

According to sociologists, the current advantage of the opposition is enough for "Tisa" to win the same convincing victory in the next parliamentary elections as Orban's party has won in recent years.

Although Tisza itself is a very young party, founded only a year ago, it is led by experienced politician Peter Magyar, who used to be in Orban's government but then clashed with the prime minister. Tisza focuses its political campaign on issues of healthcare and education.

As Bloomberg notes, in an attempt to curb the growing popularity of the opposition, Orban's government began a crackdown on independent media and civil society. However, after large-scale street protests, the authorities were forced to halt their "spring cleaning" campaign.

The next parliamentary elections in Hungary are due to be held in the spring of 2026.
