Tens of thousands take to the streets in show of support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán
SUMMARY
Tens of thousands of supporters gathered in Budapest on Saturday for a "Peace March" backing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, just a week before the European Parliament elections. The marchers, who walked along the Danube River waving flags and "No War" signs, emphasized the high stakes of the upcoming elections. Orbán, the longest-serving leader in the European Union with fourteen years in power, has centered his campaign on advocating for peace and an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. His supporters believe this approach will prevent further escalation and portray him as a steadfast leader committed to keeping Hungary out of the conflict.
