Voters in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland among those heading to polling booths on Sunday
At 6:30am, the halls of a school in central Budapest were quiet. Seven people sat at a long table as I walked into the room designated for my voting district. After they checked my name in a booklet with a list of eligible voters, I signed and got five pieces of paper: one ballot paper for the European parliament election and four for local elections, including the mayor of Budapest. In the European race, all eyes are on Tisza, a new party led by former government insider Péter Magyar.
Magyar has positioned himself as a centrist and is aiming to challenge the ruling Fidesz party’s dominant position in Hungarian politics. “We are building a country where there is no right, no left – only Hungarian,” he declared at a rally in the capital yesterday. Fidesz, led by Hungary’s populist prime minister, Viktor Orbán, enjoys the support of 50% of decided voters, according to a study published Friday by pollster Medián. Magyar’s Tisza party, meanwhile, stood at 27%.
